I had a shocker of a time with mplayerplugin... I would suggest trying
to install masked versions, including if need be hardmasked versions,
until you get a good combo. The version of mplayer shouldn't matter if
you have a very recent one, but you never know.
I know that version 2.66 works with mplayer 1.0pre5-r3 and mozilla
1.7.3, try those first.

I'm using mplayer-1.0_pre5-r3 and mplayerplug-in-2.66 with
mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre-r2 and
mozilla-1.7.3 with no problems. Do 'about:plugins' in either of the
mozilla products. If installed correctly, you should see 'QuickTime
Plug-in 6.0, Windows Media Player Plugin are supported by
mplayerplug-in' with a sh#tpot full of mime types. If not, check that
you have the appropriate symlink in /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins
and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. For me this is

mplayerplug-in.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so

I don't have a clue about plugins in konqueror. I've tried updating
the settings and adding the plugin to video -> quicktime, but it
doesn't work. Some kde gurus will need to crawl out of the bushes.

Hi Collins,
I'm trying this combination out with Mozilla-1.7.3. Mostly it looks
very good, but one thing I cannot do is use the Yahoo LaunchCast site.
I never get as far as audio since I get this message:

ERROR

To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x or 7.1
version. Download now.

Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help.
(Error Code: 12)

Try going to Yahoo, then looking for the Music link in the top area of
links, and then getting anything to work. I miss this site from my
Windows days.

Cheers,
Mark

I tried but ... no changed! I want to try with vlc plug in but vlc
doesn't compile (I use now gcc 3.4.1, probably is a compatible problem)
