Still problems with movies online

$Linuxnoob · 04-14-2006, 02:59 PM

I downloaded MPLAYER and the codecs, yet nothing seems to be working to play these movies online.

For instance I cannot watch movies at embaumsworld because i don't have some plugin or something. I use Firefox if that's any help, I checked all the different extensions offered, none help me, I don't think. I am completely unsure of what to do at this point.

You need to install the mozilla-mplayer plugin for firefox. Of Course, I forget the exact name of it at this time. After that has been installed in the proper manner then you should be able to watch movies within your browser.

You might want to do a search at www.google.com/linux for more information. I believe that there should be some Fedora 5 guides out there that could hlpe you with this.

If you already have a thread about this problem, then continue that thread instead of starting a new one because it make it difficult to follow up on what the exact problem is and previous suggestions you may have tried.

If you click on the My LQ menu on the right hand side of your screen, there is a link to all your threads. Its very handy.

The package you need to install is the mplayer mozilla plugin which jlo_sandog has linked to in the post above.
