mplayer and firefox
 

anyone that knows how to get them to work togeather so that i can whatch streaming video like the ones on compfused.
i allready have mplayer and firefox installed so what i had in mind would be some sort of plugin or something to make it work, much like windows media player works in iternet explorer.

my distro is suse 9.2 by the way

thanks for helping

yup...its called "mplayer-plugin"...u could also look at mozplugger

tried both of them but couldnt get them to work could you give me some instructions about how to get them to work preferably the ones you used and know works

Are you saying that you can't watch the video/s using firefox? Or are you wanting to use an alternative viewer when you select a video?

do you have the win32 codecs installed

i have w32codecs installed and that contained some dlls i think, firefox is installetd in a none standard location wich could be the reason it dosnt work but the other extensions i have installed (tabbrowser preferences,session saver and adblock) all work. one more thing i have been trying to install the mplayer extensions from commpresed folders instead of th xpi files wich you install normal extensions from. I did this simply because i coudnt find xpi file for the mplayer extensions do you know a location where they can be found? also how about that guide :)

i cant watch any streaming videos at all beacuse quiktime and such dont exist for linux so i have to use an alternative player.

To re-compile:
Edit Makefile to suit to your system.
Type 'make'.

To install globally:
make install

copy all mozplugger* files to /usr/local/firefox/plugins/ except mozpluggerrc which goes to the main firefox directory

Your firefox plugin directory is typically one of:
/usr/local/firefox/plugins

I you don't want to put mozpluggerrc in /etc/ you can put it in one of:

/usr/local/firefox

You might also want to customize your 'mozpluggerrc' file before installing it.

i works :-) thanks to all you that helped
