When I attempt to load a video, Mozilla 1.6 crashes.
I'm running:
Slackware 9.1
Gnome 2.4
Linux 2.4.25
Mozilla 1.6 (mozilla-1.6-xft-pc-linux.tar.bz2)
MPlayer 1.0pre2-3.2.3 built from source
mplayerplug-in-2.40 built with gecko-sdk-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.6.
My ~/.mplayer/config looks like this:
vo=x11,xv
ao=esd,arts,oss
I've tried swapping xv & x11 in the above. I'm running Gnome so esd seems appropriate as the first value in the ao line.
My ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf looks like this:
Mozilla, mplayer were both installed from rpm's that came with Mandrake 10. I'm not very experienced with Linux, but I have all the codecs in the right place, they show up only in the mozilla plugins but not firefox... I basically need a step by step on the install or what is wrong with it please. I also installed Netscape's newest version, but no plugins show up in there either... Thanks to anyone with directions on which way to go.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
All right so I went to that page and followed all of those instructions. I configured it with gecko that i just downloaded and got the .so file and all in the right places. Now both mozilla and firefox show up the plugins when i start them. So, I went and tested them out. So far I only testes quick time, which had no sound but good picture, and windows media, which did not load but only showed the source call (html) for the particular page it was on. Thanks for at least making it not crash :) Now on to the sound.

I'm sorry to keep soamming the forum. I just wanted to say that the windows media did not work as it came from secured streams which is currently unsupported and has a few bugs. The sound is still not present but at least one of the issues has a resolve.

To get sound with QuickTime 6 files, you need to make sure your version of mplayer is compiled with FAAD support. This is documented on the install page.

I successfully ran all the mplayer tests detailed in the HOWTO. Pointing Mozilla 1.6 at http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/daredevil/trailer_medium.html results in a Mozilla crash. Doing so from the shell generates this output:

Those Gtk-WARNING messages seem to be fairly chronic, which leads me to discount theor significance.
Any help would be appreciated.
Looks to me like you are compiling the plugin in gtk2 mode and your browser is using gtk1 widgets. Try this
./configure --enable-gtk1 --with-gecko-sdk={path}
make
Then install it and see if that helps. Also you may want to get 2.45 it is more stable.
That did the trick. Thanks.
I have the same problem with mozilla 1.6 crashing. I have:
Mandrake 10 default kernel
Mplayer 1.0pre3.1.3
mplayerplug-in 2.50
Mozilla 1.6
Firefox 0.8
Mozilla, mplayer were both installed from rpm's that came with Mandrake 10. I'm not very experienced with Linux, but I have all the codecs in the right place, they show up only in the mozilla plugins but not firefox... I basically need a step by step on the install or what is wrong with it please. I also installed Netscape's newest version, but no plugins show up in there either... Thanks to anyone with directions on which way to go.
Please read the other replys under this topic and the following web page.

If you can send me a URL of a site that is not working I can work on resolving the issue.
