gecko-mediaplayer?

[Knute Johnson]

I installed F9 and was trying to listen to my favorite radio station but 
I couldn't find mplayerplug-in.  Some of you said to get 
gecko-mediaplayer instead.  I downloaded it with no problems and it 
shows up in the plugins list but it doesn't work.  There is also a 
Mozplugger at the top that appears not to be configured properly.


    MozPlugger 1.10.1 handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin

    File name: nswrapper_32_32.mozplugger.so
    MozPlugger version 1.10.1, written by Fredrik Hübinette, Louis
    Bavoil and Peter Leese.
    For documentation on how to configure mozplugger, check the man
    page. (type man mozplugger)
    Configuration file: 	Not found!
    Helper binary: 	Not found!
    Controller binary: 	Not found!

It lists al the mime types below this and they are all enabled.  Any 
ideas where to start trying to figure out why it doesn't work?

Thanks,

knute...

Look like the correct location in Firefox 3.0b5 is now:

Ok, you are having real problems and it is time to get serious about
your problem. What do  mean about mozplugger being on top of your plugin
list? Please tell me again what media you are trying to play?

Now do this. Open firefox and go to: about:config.
Change the configuration:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extentions from true to false.
Now I have never tried this on firefox in F9 but it is worth trying.
Now under Edit->preferences->content there should be something on the
bottom half of the
page (Manage in earlier firefoxes) which when clicked on will allow you
to choose what program or plugin will be used for each kind of
mime.type. That might help you solve your problem.

I removed mozplugger and I'm closer but not working yet.  The player 
loads and it starts but the reports stopped almost immediately.  Below 
is the output from firefox -debug.  Any further ideas greatly appreciated.

Using mozplugger or mozpluggerrc is a completely different way to get
your firefox to recognize file-types than using plugins in:
/usr/lib/mozilla/pluggins or /usr/lib/firefox.../plugins or for that
matter using Firefox:Edit->Preferences->Content-> Manage

These alternate ways to accomplish the same thing is one of the
confusing things about firefox.

Try removing mozplugger. I don't have it and am not sure it's necessary
(plus it's apparently not configured correctly). Since it's at the top
of the plugin list it might be interfering with gecko-mediaplayer.
