Xandros and Mplayer: Playing QT in Firefox

Is there a way to install Mplayer in Xandros? Or is there a player I could use to see quicktime videos in Firefox? Any help would be appreciated.

if xandros has apt-get and their packages are compatibles with debian ones try adding the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list or using synaptic :
deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/mplayer/ftp.n...bian-marillat/ testing main

Code:

apt-get install mplayer-586 mplayer-fonts mozilla-mplayer

The mozilla-mplayer package can be downloaded from debian packages search page if xandros doesn't have it : http://packages.debian.org
