configuring plugins for browser
ok, so far I have configured my browser to use flash, java, and some other mime types. I use Mozilla. There is a section under preferences called "helper applications" I tried to configure it to open some shorts that I like to check out from time to time but it didn't work. I have Mplayer installed with all the codecs, but even if I enter the exact plugin name in 'helper applications' and tell it to use mplayer, I still get the same message.
No, I do not want to use Xine, I prefer mplayer and I like Mozilla just fine, so how can I accomplish this task with these apps?
Here is the site I am trying to view shorts on:

Any insight would be appreciated. I am pretty used to linux now and am quite happy with it, but this is one of those 'little' things that nags me.

I would think that these things are taylored for Windows, but who knows? You could try the MPlayer Mozilla plugin.

Exactly where can I find the mplayer plugin? The webpage states "This Project Has Not Released Any Files."
The best things in life are free.

Yeah, sorry. The real URL is http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayerplug-in/.

Craig_mcd: I already had that plugin and it didn't help in the matter, thanks anyway.
Dolda - that's what I was thinking - that it was made for windows, but I was hoping there was a way around it. I already had the mplayer plugin and it didn't seem to make any difference. It irritates me though, cuz that is one of my favorite sites to visit.

Can you view all the videos, craig_mcd? Not all of them were flash animations.

click on "watch now" and tell me that it can play a video (I hope you're right, but I somehow doubt it):
