I have installed the mplayer to give a try, but there are problems with install of
mplayerplug-in
I am using redHat9, the default version of mozilla is 1.3, I erase the old mozilla rpm -e mozillaXXX.rpm and manually install the latest one 1.8
Now I install mplayerplug-in
# rpm -i mplayerplug-in-2.70-rhel3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
mozilla >= 1.4 is needed by mplayerplug-in-2.70-rhel3
I just force it to install the without dependency. Assume I have installed the plugin and mplayer, when I go to some pages with streamed media file, should the mplayer run that type of file ??
I know many members also have the same problem with no sound in Flash, I took a look of the old thread and try chmod 666 /dev/dsp but still not very impressive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
I am using Mandrake 10.0 and have successfully installed the mplayer plugin (mplayerplugin-1.0-0pre2.1mdk). It works fine for quicktime sites but I have no sound. On the mozilla site it says you need to have the .so file in the plugin folder for netscape and the .xpt fiile in the component file. I could never find the .xpt file. I am not sure if that is the problme as I do not know what that file does.

There have been a change in Flash Player in Mozilla. The /dev/shm is now a hard requirement. Please check if you have it.
