Greetings;
Running FC2 here, with kde3.3.0.
What codec & the url to it, do I need to install to play a .wmv file?
I got this going using the mplayer-plugin. It also required grabbing a bunch of Windows codecs from the mplayer site.
Here is my recipe (may vary depending on the rpms you already have). You will need the livna repositories in your /etc/yum.repos.d
yum install mplayerplug-in mplayer-skins
cd /usr/lib/win32 wget http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2 tar xjvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2 cd essential-20050412 mv * .. rm essential-20050412.tar.bz2
Then point firefox at a wmv file. This also gives you quicktime, which was what I really wanted.
Cheers, Ben
