I listen to online radio and like to browse various video clips online. I USE to be able to simply click on a video clip and mplayer would launch inside the firefox display and play.

Did a YUM UPDate (hoping to fix a few other 'querks' of Fedora 7 ... but now media playing in firefox no longer works.

It downloads the media (the download shows % done and hits 100% then says "Stopped"

This is not for just streaming audio (online radio) but for Video streams also.

Exmaple:
Radio

Video

When I go into the firefox->Preferances->Content->FileTypes->Manage

It shows file type "QT" as set for quicktime plugin.

How do I discover why and how the various media pugins are calling Mplayer.... or why it is not working anymore.

PS: I can play media files just fine from locally saved copies

Both work for me, Fedora 7 and Mplayer installed from Livna repo. You need to install additional codecs to play some multimedia files.

not to be a jerk... but I did state that mplayer works fine 'stand alone' but not embedded.


I can open the full plethora of codecs and play all my archived "funnies" locally stored.



If the above links work for you can you RSVP with some helpful details such as Firefox version, Mplayer Version, Firefox plugin listing related to mplayer, etc... That would be appreciated.

hi, work fine for me but im on a X86_64, for me i got a plob the flash dont work :P as conventional way i most run a 32bit firefox for make it to run and the 64 for use the mplayer plugin, my sugestion its to uninstall the plugin and re install it later it may be a broken file of the plugin and it dont work correctly if that not work there its always the VLC and the mozilla vlc plugin.
