Hi All,
I was using mplayerplug-in until it was substituted in the tree for gnome-
mplayer. I was happier with mplayerplug-in because I could also access the
stream/file in /tmp/ and save it, resize it, replay it, etc.
With gnome-mplayer all I get is a socket in /tmp which I can't access directly
- mplayer won't play it. The embedded video is always at maximum size filling
up the browser window and at poor quality videos the picture deteriorates. On
top of it I find gnome-mplayer is a bit clunky with regards to its controls (I
can't just drag the cursor to watch a previous point in the video as smoothly
as I could with mplayerplug-in). Is there a better alternative, more akin to
the mplayerplug-in?
If you have Firefox installed, you can use 'download helper' to grab
those videos really easy. It works on youtube and other sites really well.
