OK, I'm still screwing with this mplayer crap :mad: . If you go to www.stlcardinals.com or any other mlb site, click on one of the video feeds that they offer. This is the end result I want to get to. When I use Mozilla (the old version in RH9, I get a nice little window that pops up and says:

This page contains information of a type (application/x-mplayer2) that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in.

Now keep in mind, I downloaded apt-get, ran the update command, ran the install command (no errors), and everything seemed to go just fine, except it doesn't work. :confused:

If someone would be nice enough to take the time to go to that site and see if they have something that can solve this dilemma I would be greatly appreciative. I am open to alternative programs -if they will play what I need- otherwise I am going to have to go back to Windows, at least partially (and I really don't want to do that!!!). So someone please save me. :cry:

Thanks in advance once again guys. I have gotten a lot further with the info you have given me than I ever would have alone. :)

That means, the mplayer plug-in is not installed or is not installed correctly. When you load the URL "about:plugins" in Mozilla (or select menu Help > About Plug-ins), is application/x-mplayer2 listed as supported?

In addition to installing mplayer and mplayer plug-in, you may need to install a win32 codec package from some of the sites which offer legally questionable packages.
What's that? A threat? I don't care...

What kind of question is that?! I'm just stating my distaste for Windows, that's all.
