TEC: Playing movies within browsers?

[lsam]

Dear all,

I just wonder if there is a way to view clips from say NBA.COM or Quicktime.com?

I am able to use mplayer to view most wmv, avi, asf and Quicktime files but not from the browsers say in Firefox. Any hints perhaps?


Thanks!

I guess VLC would do the job. I will see if it really do ...

Anyway, thanks for checking.

You should use mplayerplugin for mozilla/firefox.
I think you didn't do it yet,so if yes just reply me to see how can i help you.

Dear Aliov,

I am here at the office and am going to install that plugin (32-bit) into the Lenovo X60. My main concern to it is actually WHICH directory should I be installing that to. I use Firefox, Seamonkey and also Opera, so where should I put them at? I was at home last night putting those plugins into ./home/myname/.mozilla/firefox/plugins last night in my home AMD64 installation last night but it did not work.

Thanks!

In my case it's /usr/lib/firefox/plugins ,for other browser i think seamonky use the same directory of the plugins as firefox but in any case mplayerplugin are not more than 1.4MB,so go to /usr and type (find -name plugins)
and the directories of your plugins for your browsers should appear copy the mplayerplugin files into these directories and that's it

Hope this help.
