I'm not able to view movies using mplayer's plugin in Mozilla. I am
however, able to view them off-line using mplayer. Here's what I've done:
dowloaded the source mplayerplug-in-1.0pre2.tar.gz
logged in as root
tar -xzvf mplayerplug-in-1.0pre2.tar.gz
cd mplayerplug-in
./configure
make
cp mplayerplug-in.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
restarted mozilla
I did verify that mplayerplug-in.so is in the plugins directory:
[clint at localhost plugins]$ ls
libflashplayer.so mozplugger.so raclass.zip
libjavaplugin_oji.so mplayerplug-in.so rpnp.so
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mozilla shows that it has the mplayer plugin when I open the About
Plugins in Mozilla:
mplayerplug-in v1.0pre2 handles QuickTime Windows Media Player Plugin
File name: mplayerplug-in.so
Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime and Windows Media Player streams
using mplayer
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
video/quicktime Quicktime mov Yes
video/x-quicktime Quicktime mov Yes
video/quicktime Quicktime mp4 Yes
[...many more lines deleted...]
but when I visit http://www.apple.com/trailers/ to try to view any of
the Quicktime trailers, a white box opens and a text message says:
mplayerplug-in
Playing http://a772.g.akamai.net/(blah blah blah)
and the video doesn't ever start.
This is on a FC1 machine upgraded from RH9.
If anyone has any ideas for what to try or sites that describe how to
solve the problem, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Clint
