Dear all,

I'm working on a Slackware 12.0 and I'm wondering whether one of you has been able to install the "video/x-ms-asf" plugin on firefox.
If not, is there an other browser which can play this kind of file?
Thanks in advance,
kind regards,

Aihaike.

'video/x-ms-asf' is not a plugin, it's a mime-type. What you need is a plug-in for a media player that can handle that type of file. Most of big ones should generally be able to handle asf, but since asf is simply a container format for Microsoft Windows Media files, and only some WM versions have Free implementations, it may depend on the exact version of the codecs used inside the file.

Media players that have mozilla plugins
(that I know of, there are probably more):

mplayer
xine
gxine
totem
vlc

vlc handles WM playback the best, IMO, but I've never tried the browser plugin myself.

Thank you for your answer,

xine is working very well.

Aihaike.
