ive been trying to view some videos wiith firefox. they are embedded realplayer files. i got the "plugin" for realplayer, installed realplayer itself, and tried to edit the mime types in browser. non of this works.

what do i need to do in order to be able to view embedded vidoe in firefox, specifically realplayer files? or is this possible?

preferably, id like to use something other than realplayer, such as mplayer, totem, xine...if thats possible.

thanks in advance.


edit: i wasnt sure if this thread would go in general, networking, or software.
mods can make sure it gets where it needs to be, and ill remeber for next time

If you have the Realplayer 8 you can get video streams to work in Firefox with these codecs http://realforum.real.com/cgi-bin/un...=5&part=1&vc=1 (works for me). It should also be possible to install codecs in the Mplayer that will allow the mplayerplug-in to show real video streams in Firefox (I've never tried as I don't need to)

you can also use xine,look here: http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ in the section 9 you have a plug in

andrew, ive tried the real9 codec package with no luck

im goin to try the xine plugin soon, and hope for the best...
