Hey, I'm kind of a linux newbie, but I've spent about 30 hours trying to configure my plugins in Linux, so any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. I've got mplayerplug working for most video files, although I can't seem to get it to work for RealPlayer videos. However, I'd like to set it up so that it uses the mini GUI when I watch the media files. This should be quite easy, and it's explained in the sourceforge page how to do this. However, I can't for the life of me seem to find the mplayerplug-in.conf file that I should modify. I installed mplayerplug-in using the rpm for Red Hat 9 and it's working well, but I find the configuration file to make it play mini GUI. I've checked the directories give on the website (/etc $HOME/.mozilla/ and $HOME/.mplayer) and it's not in any of these. Might it be somewhere else, and I just have to hunt for it, or is there a better way of telling it to use the GUI? Second, I can't seem to get it to play RealPlayer files. I'd like to use another RealPlayer plugin program to view these files, but in order to do this, I have to disable mplayerplug-in from trying to play them. The way that seems to be suggested is to edit the source code. So, I downloaded the source code and tried to compile it, but make wouldn't work. The compiler complains about a bunch of things, but the complaints that caught my eye were the claims that X11/ files did not exist. Is this a common problem? How do I fix this? As I said, right now I've got the plugin working using the rpm file, but it won't compile from source.

Dylan, 1. if you need the mplayerplug-in.conf file just create it in one of the three spots mentioned on the web page. Any text editor will be fine to make it. Also, I should warn you that the mini-gui has issues... I find that using the plugin without it gives better results. 2. Real player files are still not working 100% in mplayer so using another player is better. The missing files can be found if you install the XFree86 development kit.
