Sorry, was refering to what's shown in about plug-ins. I have: chata@ubuntu:~/.mozilla$ aptitude search mplayerplug-in v mplayerplug-in - lchata@ubuntu:~/.mozilla$ aptitude show mplayerplug-in No candidate version found for mplayerplug-in Package: mplayerplug-in State: not a real package Provided by: mozilla-mplayer lchata@ubuntu:~/.mozilla$ wajig list mozilla-mplayer ii mozilla-mplayer 3.17-1ubuntu1 MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla lchata@ubuntu:~/.mozilla$ wajig list mozplugger ii mozplugger 1.7.1-1 Plugin allowing external viewers to be launched > So I would > suggest that you limit the number of plugins installed. Months ago, Ari Polack said the same thing then dropped the discorse saying he was too busy. So, I would be glad to keep and purge the plugins if I just knew which ones. Also, KDE's file > associatation dialog has nothing to do with the plugins in firefox, so > that is not the problem. Interesting to know. I didn't. BTW, everyone keeps mentioning firefox, but the problem is with mozilla browser which wont play the embeds. Upon a Ubuntu user reply that he had difficulty playing embeds with mozilla when firefox was installed, I remved/purged both firefox and swiftfox which both played the embeds. I get the impression that Ubuntu/kubuntu supports firefox but not mozilla as I've posted to both with no solutions. > mplayerplug-in 3.17 is kinda old, we are currently at 3.31. I've already downloaded mplayerplug-in 3.30 .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and .rpm files but don't complile. Could convert the rpm to deb. Also have the .xpi file but never found out where to put it or how to activate it. Suggestions/comments?

I have universe,multiverse, automatix, canonical and cipherfunk in my sources.list and every pkg mgr search/show doesn't list it. Could you supply the exact mirror to add if you want me to add mplayerplug-in ipo mozilla-mplayer. Even in Deb's, woody and sarge, where I could play the embeds with mozilla, I'm pretty sure I had only mozilla-mplayer installed, not mplayerplug-in. I could ask Kubuntu users what's the official way to get mplayerplug-in as an alternative. When you installed Kubuntu? Was it a total clean reinstall. If not > you may have brought some of the mess with you from the old install. It was a clean install, freshly partitioned and formated. I didn't want any part of the old Deb setup difficulties and did a clean install of Kubuntu. And it's much better than straight Deb except for playing embeds with mozilla browser. BTW, reading your reply has shown me just how little I know about linux and mplayerplug-ins. I've been using linux(Debian) for just over 2 yrs and and got pretty familiar with installing, updating/upgrading and even fixing a few problems with a user lists help. Now I know I wont ever be an expert. Thanks for the lesson. Also, had to cut and paste from the archive file to compose this reply. Is there a way to reply to the archive or digest without having to cut/paste the entire message and struggle to format it the way lists expect. > Kevin Leonard Chatagnier len...@sb... |

This post is specific for Kevin DeKorte; Hello Kevin, you haven't responded to my last post on this subject. Perhaps you thought I ask too much and perhaps I did. Let me try to correct. Currently, I only have Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_06-b05, Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25 and Default Plugin that shows in mozzila->help->about plug-ins. I have added: #Sid Debian Multimedia (packages, GPG key: 07DC563D1F41B907) deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main to my sources.list but, even with no errors in updating I only have mozilla-mplayer-3.17 in my cache file. When I left Debian Sid I had v3.25 installed but somehow the mirror wont download anything. I found the .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and rpm files for mplayerplug-in at sourceforge.net. I don't compile so converted the rpm to deb and installed with dpkg -i. Apt show and wajig list says it installed but it doesn't show in the "about plug-in" file and embeds don't play with it. Perhaps this is a setup issue but I don't know how ti fix. Since you last response to my post, I have tried mozilla-mplayer-3.17, mozplugger, gzineplugin, mplayerplug-in-3.30 rpm converted to deb and possibly some others I don't remember. None of which play the embeds; I mostly get a black player screen for the Yahoo news video player. The black player screen doesn't respond to any right/lift clicking of the mouse. This only applies to mozilla browser; I could play the embeds with firefox, swiftfox and Kongueror. The above concludes my follow up to your last post to the extent of my abilities. Would appreciate you picking up the thread again as you may be the only one to succeed in helping me fix this tough issue. I have posted and sought help on this issue on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, mplayer and now mplayerplugin users list but no solutions yet. Hope you can help further. Leonard Chatagnier len...@sb... |

It had been 3 days since I posted my response to your first reply and I just thought you may have been put out because I asked for too much. So, I did my homework and reposted to let you know. No offense intended. > I don't use debian so I don't know why the packages you are getting are > not current. I do know that removing all of the mplayerplug-in and > mozilla-mplayer packages and then reinstalling the correct package for > debian should work. Can you be more specific? I have actually installed and removed mplayerplug-in-3.30 after removing mozilla-mplayer then removed mplayerplug-in and reinstalled mozilla-mplayer-3.17. Still broke. If you could list specific packages to remove/install, I'd be happy to do it and report on results. If not, take that question up with the debian > packagers.

I have just uninstalled the mplayerplug-in-3.30 as it didn't work and reinstalled mozilla-mplayer-3.17, all I can get for now, and it still doesn't work getting same error message about application/x-mplayer2 requiring appropriate plugin. Ahhh. I'll post at Debian to see if I have the right mirror and gpg key. > Couple of questions.. > Are you running a 64 bit machine or anything other than a debian 32bit > 386/686 os install? No, I have specifically Kubuntu Dapper-6.0.6-1-i686 currently updated. My kernel is 2.6.15-26-686. There are some AMD X-64 drivers on the HD but not installed. Just Kubuntu's way of being user friendly, I think. > Yahoo, may not work in all cases. Make sure you using the testing pages > at http://mplayerplug-in.sf.net as those will tell you if the plugin is > working or not. The mplayer plays the test except for the .avi file. None of the testing uris for the plug-in play. Get same error with the blue-green double cross puzzle piece and the same error message with just the contents of () different for each file type. I've done this many times in past with same results. Sounds like a mozilla-mplayer and/or mplayerplug-in issue. I have played the videos on Yahoo in distant past with mplayerplug-in using Debian woody and sarge. It broke after going to Sid and remains broke in Kubuntu Dapper. > Also, what browser are you using? Firefox, Mozilla, Seamonkey or > something else. If you are using something else, then I don't support it. I'm using Mozilla browser and the post was only for Mozilla as the others will play the embeds. AAMF, I've uninstalled the others just to prevent any possible conflicts as suggested by a Ubuntu user who had that problem. BTW, when I removed mplayerplug-in-3.30, converted to deb, about plug-ins only listed: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_06-b05 Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63 Default Plugin When I reinstalled mozilla-mplayer these were added: Google VLC multimedia plugin 1.0 QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 RealPlayer 9(I have v10 installed) Windows Media Player Plugin mplayerplug-in 3.17 They all were added by mozilla-mplayer-3.17. I think you asked about this in your first response. Could any of these actually conflict with the other? Thanks for coming back. I really appreciate your help. > Kevin Leonard Chatagnier len...@sb... |

Those media plugins are designed to work together, they are all produced by the same code and each do specific things. Their mime types SHOULD NOT conflict. If they do you have something wrong. I don't know what is going on with your machine, but it really sounds like mplayerplug-in is not properly installed. One thing to try. Close all your browsers and then open an terminal and run firefox from that terminal and see if any errors come out.

And it has caused trouble ever since. Yeah, I know that Debian has a thing about doing it their way and it does cause a lot of confusion when googling for solutions. It just happens to be the distro I started using when changing over to linux two years ago. Look, I can download mozilla-mplayer=3.31 from debian packages sid and probably lesser version from sarge or testing without bothering my Kubuntu specific sources.list and possibly breaking my OS. Just say which one you think will do the job and I'll install it. If if doesn't break too many packages,and it works, I'll just put a hold on it until Kubuntu catches up. If that's all it takes for a solution I can handle it without too much trouble. >>> If not, take that question up with the debian >> > packagers.

This is > what is telling me that the mime type / plugin is not properly installed. Maybe I need to go over all the conf files again or go back to a local setup instead of the global one now using. There are some line entries in mplayerplug-in.conf that I'm not sure of and I have read the sourceforge list. My /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf is below: lchata@ubuntu:~/install_flash_player_7_linux$ cat /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf debug=2 vo=xv,x11 ao=arts,esd,oss download=1 dload-dir=$HOME/tmp keep-download=0 noembed=0 #cachesize=512 use-mimetypes=0 enable-ogg=1 enable-smil=1 enable-helix=1 qt-speed=med rtsp-use-tcp=0 nomediacache=0 framedrop=1 autosync=1 #mc=1 #black-background=0 user-agent=NSPlayer >> I have played the videos on Yahoo in distant past with >> mplayerplug-in using Debian woody and sarge.

Well, OK, but about plugins says its installed properly. But Debian does make you do a lot of manual setting up of things which is why I went to Kubuntu for user friendliness. I'm guessing there's still a setup issue somewhere, maybe a missing symlnk to /usr/lib/mozillla/plugins or something in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins, etc that the Debian/Kubuntu forgot to do. Seems those were the problem in the past. >> I'm using Mozilla browser and the post was only for >> Mozilla as the others will play the embeds.

Had to reinstall firefox as had removed in case of conflicts with mozilla. It did start from konsole but with a long list of errors shown below: I actuall finished this email with firefox and played an embedded video with it to see if it still worked. It did pop up the mplayerplug-in and went thru its routine of loading, buffering, etc an played the fixodent toothpaste ad video but didn't play the selected video as it did before I started messing with the system to get mozilla to play embedds. Guess I need to do an aptitude -f install and see what it says, but too late tonight(~ 3 am), will chech out tomorrow. Hope this long response doesn't ruin your eyes as it is mine and maybe give you some clues for a solution.

This to me sounds like you actually got firefox to load the plugin, this is good. If you run it from the terminal and open a video the reason why it is failing to play the media should appear. Please use the testing page with firefox. The Gecko Errors should be fixed in more recent versions of mplayerplug-in and firefox. But they are harmless anyway.

Easiest link to make: first find out where the plugin got installed. dpkg -L should be able to tell you that.

The config files don't matter, until you get the plugin loaded into the browser (making the missing plugins message go away) and the only way to do that is to get them loaded into the plugins directory.

Actually, I believe that /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins should also be picked up by mozilla. So it sounds like your mozilla browser is jacked up. Might try blowing it away and reinstalling.

Reinstalling mozilla browser didn't help either and I've already given Kubuntu several chances to help, but no solutions. Maybe I'll try the moailla user group and give them a shot, tried about everyone else. No need to reply.

According to [http://www.mail-archive.com/edgy-changes%40lists.ubuntu.com/msg04528.html] mplayerplug-in is included in the multiverse repository as mozilla-mplayer. So mplayerplug-in and mozilla-mplayer are the same thing. -- HTH Andreas |
