MPlayer and Ubuntu

[BarfBag]

Hey guys. I'm a former user of SUSE. I switched to Ubuntu because I really like the GNOME desktop it has. I'm using Breezy.

I installed MPlayer, the browser plug-in, and all the codecs via Automatix. When I try to watch a streaming Quicktime video, I get Totem (which doesn't work half the time). How do I fix this? Also, when it plays streaming WMA's and Real Player files, the sound and video are both very choppy. Is there a way to fix this as well?

This is a very urgent matter. If I can't get this working, I'm going to have to go back to SUSE. I've posted on two different forums and my topic died.

I am not so sure about the choppy streams but as for totem, remove the totem libs from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ (they all start with libtotem). You may not to delete them though just in case; you could move them to a different folder in the meantime.

Thanks! That fixed the Quicktime problem.

Does anyone know how I could fix the choppyness? I've tried multible streams, so I know it isn't the server.
