Comment:
I'm (once again) getting increasingly baffled by this - but for the moment
I've got a system without ffmpeg and I'll eventually get that closer to a
normal full system, so taking the ticket.
Meanwhile, on my haswell where I first built ff48 and noticed there were
no obviou s links to system ffmpeg, in the firefox preferences for
Applications the only relevant things seem to be:
{{{
MPEG-4 video Always ask
Video podcast Preview in firefox
}}}
What ''actually'' happens there is -
{{{
mp4 - plays automatically in firefox
mkv - offers the option to open with xine (default) or else to save it
ogv - plays automatically in firefox
wmv - offers the option to open with xine (default) or else to save it
avi - offers the option to open with vlc (default) or download
mov - commercial files play in firefox, but those from my own camera
report that the file can't be played because it is corrupt!
