Hi, I run Ubuntu and i have Firefox 1.5 and mplayerplug-in installed and for some reason when i click a wmv file, it won't play in browser. It asks to open an external player. I have these files in my plugin dir. mplayerplug-in-gmp.so mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt mplayerplug-in.so mplayerplug-in.xpt mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt mplayerplug-in-rm.so mplayerplug-in-wmp.so mplayerplug-in-qt.so mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt I have tried over and over. Seems like a file type problem. nix4me |

I found some test wmv's that work fine. No the real problem here is, when I click on a improper wmv, firefox disappears. Now that seems like a bug in Firefox to me. Should I file a bug report? This really pisses me off as Firefox gives no warning. Serious bug in my book. nix4me |

I can live with why it won't play in the browser, but having the browser crash and disappear is total crap. I will file a bug with Firefox. nix4me |

It will ask me to pick a program if i click the wmv first, BUT if a play a mpg first and then the wmv, it crashes every time. Ive tried on multiple versions of firefox and mplayer and mplayerplug-in. Same thing happens every time. I just installed the kde version of ubuntu on a different computer, same result. Mpg first then that wmv, boom, crash. Is this a debian only problem maybe? nix4me |

If you have something repeatable that would be helpful. Also have you tried using the firefox 1.5 from mozilla.org rather than the package from Ubuntu. Also, can answer these questions 1. Are you using Gnome or KDE as your Desktop Environment 2. What theme are you using 3. Are you using a single monitor 4. What video drivers do you have installed and what vo are you using. 5. If you use x11 as the vo for mplayerplug-in does it still crash Kevin - -- Get my public GnuPG key from http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/export?id=7574690260641978351 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDrBbiaR60qN0tF+8RAjy0AJ9eliDMn318uEx39+f6n8nbEq7k8wCgrrZS 1SQw8N0OOmVo1Q/G7drxFHA= =/VJj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

I opened the first url and let it play to completion 2. I then pasted the second url into the location bar and firefox asked me to play the file with Totem or save it.. I cancelled. Second try 1. I opened the first url and while it was playing I then changed the location URL to the second URL and it asked me to play with totem or to save. I chose cancel. In either case the browser worked as expected. Perhaps you could try running firefox under gdb? firefox -g at the gdb prompt type "run" when firefox crashes you should be able to type "bt" and send me that output and I can tell if mplayerplug-in is involved.
