Hi! My name is Chris and I have some questions about the Firefox mplayerplug-in. Since I'm not so familiar with this plugin the questions are of a more general nature: 1) Can I use the plugin for playing in HTML pages embedded live video-streams (RTP/RTSP). And if it is possible, how would I do this? I found the option "rtsp-use-tcp=[0|1]" so I guess there should be something possible? 2) I installed the plugin on Ubuntu 8.04 with apt-get and Firefox is configured to play videos with mplayer but still the totem-plugin is used when opening an mpeg video file (not a stream) with Firefox. Is deleting the totem plugin from the plugin-directory of Firefox a solution to this issue? Thanking you in anticipation Best regards Christoph Jacob |

Yes it does work, but mplayerplug-in has not been maintained for quite some time. I would recommend you look into gecko-mediaplayer Typically, you use the embed tag like this <embed src="rtsp://host/path" height="320" width="200" /> There is a whole website here: http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/index.php > 2) I installed the plugin on Ubuntu 8.04 with apt-get and Firefox > is configured to play videos with mplayer but still the > totem-plugin is used when opening an mpeg video file (not a stream) > with Firefox.

In some cases the totem-plugin may need to be removed (probably a package just for that part).

With this embed tag I can play video from a rtsp stream server. > > 2) I installed the plugin on Ubuntu 8.04 with apt-get and Firefox is > > configured to play videos with mplayer but still the totem-plugin is > > used when opening an mpeg video file (not a stream) with Firefox.

Yes I know, this Ubuntu version is really old :-) But for now I must use this old system.. > In some cases the totem-plugin may need to be removed (probably a > package just for that part). I just removed the totem packages, then it worked. Thank you so much for your support! Your plugin is really nice. One additional question: Is it possible to play Motion JPEG? (this file format is not listed on the project website under supported media types. Many greetings from Berlin, Germany Chris |
