Definitely: I can confirm that, after adding the line video/ogg=mplayer.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list, Galeon now offers me to save the file or to open it with MPlayer (which is *not* the same as using the plugin). > > In any case, you should really try gecko-mediaplayer instead of this > package, since it's actually maintained upstream. Wow, I didn't noticed the warning in mozilla-mplayer package description, thanks for pointing out. Let's see if gecko-mediaplayer works. # aptitude --purge-unused purge mozilla-mplayer # aptitude install gecko-mediaplayer Yes! After restarting Galeon, it works!
