Hmm. I'm getting the impression that most Linux users steal the url and load it into a stand-alone player. I'm determined to get to the bottom of this, as having a web-browser that can't play embedded videos in a multimedia distro is somewhat embarrassing. I have had reports that mplayer/xine do work for some people, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. I'm particularly interested in real and windows media formats. It would also be nice to get qt working. I have succeeded so far in just getting iceweasel not to crash when I attempt to play a quicktime file. Which is something I suppose. I haven't really checked out the behaviour relating to mp3 and ogg formats. From a brief investigation, it looks like there might be some future in creating some additional definitions in /etc/mozpluggerrc - It's more complicated than the man page suggests, so I'll have to tackle this later. If anyone has any bright ideas, I'm open to suggestions. :) cheers, tim _______________________________________________ 64studio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel
