hola,
i have a slight issue with my recently installed mplayerplugin.
(running suse10.0 and Firefix 1.5 in kde).
Previously, i could not get any news-related videos to play at websites like
http://news.yahoo.com
I asked around, and the solution was to install the mplayerplugin. it works great!
but now there is a side effect.
Whenever i am surfing and click on a Link to a .wmv file, the file
automatically starts to open within my firefox browser window!
Previously, i would get a window that asked if i wanted to Play it (in Kaffeine) or just save it.
but not anymore. Now my whole browser stalls (maybe 12 seconds) while it attempts to start playing the file. Not a good thing.
Whats Interesting is that this problem only happens for .wmv files.
For mpg's, mov's, mp3's, & avi's files, it acts normal (i get the window popup asking if i want Kaffeine, etc).
Is there a way i can disassociate .WMVs from opening in Firefox? i checked the plugins section with Firefox, but i didnt see any listing for the WMV type.
Just wondering if anyone ever had the same problem.
Thanks! = ]
