Firefox and webradio not working :-(


Hi!
I running SUSE 10.3 at home and after updating Firefox to ver 3, it stop playing webradio!
After trying to find what was wrong, I find out that MPlayer didn't start anymore! I tried to reinstall it, but I can't get it to start.
Is it anybody outwhere that can help me?!

Best regards

1. Does mplayer work in general? Can you play something by running mplayer from the command line?
2. Is the mplayer-plugin installed on your new version of FFx? Try typing
Code:
about:plugins
in FFx's navigation bar and see if it finds the mplayer plugin.
cheers,
jdk

That may be your answer. If mplayer isn't installed then its plugin in firefox won't work.

I have mplayer in /usr/bin, but if I run ./mplayer its say
"jargren4@linux-2mfn-kok:/usr/bin> ./mplayer
./mplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libschroedinger-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: oil_function_class_ptr_multiply_and_acc_8xn_s16_u8
jargren4@linux-2mfn-kok:/usr/bin>

If you don't have a working mplayer installed then it's unlikely the plugin is going to work. First fix the mplayer and then perhaps the plugin will work.

you've lost me. Why are you using mplayer plugins to watch flash? You use flash to watch flash.
