MPlayer plugin not working


I just installed it yesterday, and it doesn't work. It gets to 99% complete and then stops, and when I try to play a quicktime file, it tries to go, but then stops. i just uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, still the same thing.

Any ideas?

Make sure that you have all of the libraries for the different types of media. I had a similar problem when I installed the plugin. Also, there are some types of streams that the plugin simply doesn't work on :-(. What browser are you using the plugin on?

Firefox. I don't know why it's not working. I had FC5 on there before but I screwed it up by trying to put the ATI driver on, but before that I had the Mplayer plugin working. I also had it working in Ubuntu, which I was playing around with over the weekend. Where can I find all the libraries that I may need?

Ok, it looks like firefox sees the plugin.

Try testing the plugin on the video types on the following page...

http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html

Let me know which, if any, work. Also what version of firefox are you using?

Well, so far none of them are working per se. They all load just fine, but stop at 99% or actually completely load. I press play and every single one of the stop. I know I loaded xmms but it didn't work. TIFF didn't work. Photoshop and GIMP didn't work. None of the documents worked, which is strange because I know I loaded the PDF viewer. The 3D data didn't work either. Dammit, Jim! lol

I'm using 1.5.0.1 of Firefox.

Okay, I followed the directions from someone else and downloaded and installed the mplayer plugin separately. It works now, but some of the image plugins don't work.
