Re: [gentoo-user] mplayer plugin
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. I'm using it but can only download from a link to youtube in another web page or google, for example. Shouldn't there be a button on Youtube itself, once the 'downloiad helper' is installed that lets you download from the actual Youtube site? I've looked through Tools-Download Helper-Preferences without seeing any option for it. Maxim

Re: [gentoo-user] mplayer plugin
Got it. I clicked on the tri-color balls on the lower rt and it just gave me a list of sites where downloads may be found. The balls also appear above and to the left of the video window where the movie is supposed to appear. When I clicked on it I got the save-as window. But then I had to stop the browser and migrate away from the page on account of my tiny bandwidth. But it works, very kewl :) On 11/23/09, Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com wrote: Maxim Wexler wrote: If you have Firefox installed, you can use 'download helper' to grab those videos really easy.

[gentoo-user] mplayer plugin
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? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

With the download helper, you go to a site that has a video you want, instead of copying it from /tmp or where ever it is stored, you click on a button and save it where ever you want to save it. If you don't like the file format that it is in, it will convert it for you too. Just as a example, I go to youtube and find a neat Jeff Dunham video. I click for it to start playing the video as usual. Once it starts to play, I click on the little download button and then tell it to save it to my directory for videos. From that point on, I can play the video using mplayer or what ever. I currently use smplayer myself. I also noticed recently, it works with flash videos too. I don't know if it did this all the time or if it just started but it is nice especially since some videos get taken down sometimes. If it is on my system, I have it even if it gets removed later. The misunderstanding may be on my part. Maybe I don't quite get what you are doing. Dale :-) :-)

Hi,
since I am using net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.21.1_alpha ~amd64 I did not
have the need to install mplayerplug-in anymore. I would try the
mplayerplug-in-3.55.
Have a look at xulrunner. It might be causing the downgread problem.

So, I interpret this as the mplayer plugin not being available for firefox
3.0, which is why it's pulling in the 2.0 stream. So, my best solution is
probably just to uninstall the mplayer plugin, is that right?
It seems to work fine in firefox 3.0. If I want to run the risk and keep it,
is masking out firefox 2.0 the way to go?
Thanks,

After getting fed up with emerge/compile issues with mplayerplug-in i
switched to net-www/gecko-mediaplayer and it seems to work okay.

Perhaps the better solution is to move to the new gecko-mediaplayer which is
built for firefox 3 and is the successor to mplayer-plugin.
