Video players, plugins, Firefox and 64 bit

[John Lagrue]

I am slowly going nuts here!

Is ther anywhere a clear explanation of how to get the BBC News player
working on a 64bit Fedora system with Firefox?

I have installed all the gxine stuff from livna which (according to
the blogs I've read) should handle any windows media stream.. I've
also got RealPlayer 10 installed. But neither of them does anything
when embedded in Firefox!

I never had this problem with Ubuntu; but I am *this* close to
slinging Fedora away; since installing F7 I've had more problems than
in years of any other Linux - including Fedora 1 to 6.

I've even resorted to installing firefox-32. And it made sod-all difference.

At my wits' end.......
