mplayer plugin

[dkarlmt]

Hey...got another problem. I have been able to get all my plugins to play wmv, mpg, avi and such and it also works in firefox. I came across a couple sites that I was having a problem with when I was using the Xandros distro of Linux, so I am hoping to have better luck here.

I am running SLED 10 and using Firefox 2.0. The file is a windows media player file that I believe runs directly in firefox. When I try to run the media it comes up saying need to install additional plugins. Here is the message:

No suitable plugins were found.

Unkown Plugin (application/x-mplayer2) <<<Manual Install>>>

When I click on Manual Install it takes me to the Windows Media Player Page telling me I need to download Windows Media Player 10.

Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

Can you provide the sites, so we can see if it works for us, before we suggest an approach?

Also, I have a 32-bit SuSE, but I have read that getting streaming audio/video on some sites to work with 64-bit SuSE can be tricky.

it all depends...I mostly use Myspace, and I get that on a few media pieces, sometimes on cnn...I don't know...I can't isolate what kind of file it is that causes that message to come up

do you have win32 codecs installed.

If not install those and try again

[dkarlmt]

Myspace and cnn work for me. Random type failures are the worst kind to track down. If you can make note next time it happens, posting the URL here, then perhaps we can follow up from there.

Hmmm ... that url works for me, no problem on my SuSE 10.1 with MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.1-29.1, MPlayer-1.0rc1-1.pm.1, mplayerplug-in-3.31-0.pm.2 and w32codec-all-20061022-0.pm.0.

I suspect your /home/richmond/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf file is not configured correctly.
