Hi,
Even i have been trying to play files from raaga.com for quite some time.
One Alternative would be to Install Wine and then Install IE 6 and Real One Player, but I dont like using wine myself.
So I tried mplayer plugin following slackie1000 's advice.
I have succesfully installed mplayer plugin. But am still unable to listen to files from raaga.com .
so i checked
about:plugins
in firefox and it has mplayer plugin enabled but only quicktime and windows media files are enabled so can someone please tell me how to add rmvb files to this list too.
also i can play rm files using mplayer from the shell
EDIT:
Ok i found out from player plugin site that by default rm and ram mime type are't supported and have to enable them in the mplayer-plugin conf file locate in either of these locations:
$HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf
$HOME/.mozilla/mplayerplug-in.conf
/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
but i dont have either of these files after installing mplayer plugin. now this is confusing.
I even copied mplayerplug-in.conf from the source to /etc and did the changes so that it would play rm files but still no use.
You just need to install the realmedia codecs for mplayer, then set the association inside Firefox/Mozilla preferences.
The plugins are available via mplayers website.
from the top of my head....
mplayer plugin will be installed in user home directory. it will look for
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins
it means that if you installed as root, you have the user problem... need to copy.
about real player, did you compile MPlayer after you installed the codecs?
afaik real player plugin should just work fine also..
the helix player plugin supports :
Support MIME types:
application/smil, application/streamingmedia, application/vnd.rn-realmedia, application/vnd.rn-realplayer, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rjs, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rjt, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmj, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmx, application/vnd.rn-rn_music_package, application/vnd.rn-rsml, audio/vnd.rn-realaudio, audio/x-realaudio, audio/x-pn-realaudio, audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin, audio/x-realaudio, image/vnd.rn-realflash, image/vnd.rn-realpix, text/vnd.rn-realtext, text/vnd.rn-realtext3d, video/vnd.rn-realvideo
Support file extensions:
.rpm
and i have installed helix player too and have nphelix.so and xpt in their respective places so that firefox and netscape and mozilla can use them
and when i see aboutlugins for all the three browsers they show the helix plugin and also mplayer plugin now includes
I got Dishant.com working with konqueror 3.3 and 3.4 (kde 3.4 upgrade) with KMPlayer 0.9.0-pre3, i can listen to songs at www.dishant.com but unfortunately firefox and others are not working even after installing the mplayerplugin. And konqueror + embedded kmplayer won't play at Raaga.com only the player window. Got any suggestion to improve the situation?
I've got these:
1. Xine 1.0.1
2. Mplayer 1.0pre7 (with Real and XVid, LIVE streaming support compiled)
3. kmplayer 0.9.0-pre3
4. Win32codecs (all) in /usr/lib/win32
if you have other player like Kaffeine installed then KMPlayer might not get the chance to play the embedded media. please remove kaffeine if you want to play with kmplayer.
Is there any way to use KMPlayer with Firefox or Mozilla or Netscape?
I'd go with mplayer, myself.... get the codecs and such. compile... then get the nice mozilla plugin for it. I've tried it with mozilla and firefox and it works with both.. it works great.
go through some of the documentation and make sure you configure it properly and the cache settings to fit your internet connection and (if it's good) greatly improve the performance of the plugin.
rizvan i think the sites have some stupid java scripts running to avoid ripping the streams off their site, and this is causing us linux users problems.
well i am giving up trying to get these sites to play. I am happy with shoutcast radio stations on xmms.
I am closely following this thread and i've tried to open sites mentioned by rizvan and gtgoku. I have mplayer compiled with all codecs, I have mplayerplugin compiled and installed and works fine with other online music sites but for the two sites mentioned. I also have real player installed and as far as I know everything should be fine but it seems those sites are designed with obscure tools which allow only windows to play their media and not any other OS...strange...anyway...I dont have any suggestion but I just wanted to post one more confirmation of the discussion that has taken place in this thread.
