Apologies guys if i didn't make it clear. I wanted to remove firefox. The -bin version i was talking of, was the xulrunner-bin package. And, by the way i agree that the bin version is really worse-off than firefox. > opera for what i know on amd64 is compiled for 64bit and not > for 32 bit and so the plugins you're using with also need to be amd64 > compiled. If you disable the "ia32" use flag. Unless ofcourse, if you are talking of no-multilib profile. IIRC 64-bit support was made available for opera sometime in the past few months (somewhere along the 9.x series). > said this i suggest you to use mplayerplug-in instead of > gecko-mediaplayer. since it's produced by the same devs of mplayer and > you won't have api problems with it. another reason for you to use > mplayerplug-in is that it works with latest xulrunner and firefox > codebase (it's not limited to second version of firefox) and you can > use either the latest xulrunner, seamonkey or firefox (still > maintained by mozilla). on multilib systems it also automatically > builds the 32bit and 64bit packages depending on mplayer and > mplayer-bin. > also xulrunner is a direct dependency for firefox and if a package > tells you that you can build that package on xulrunner then you don't > really need firefox. > > -- > dott. ing. beso I would love to use mplayerplug-in, only i wish it worked well for me. I would be glad if somebody could please suggest the process to get mplayerplug-in working with opera. My issues have been that i dont get the control buttons working and that is after i have employed a few hooks to enable the plugin. FWIW the erstwhile gentoo-wiki page (i dont the current status) on opera also suggested to use gecko-mediaplayer. -- Regards, Michael Moore <mikem.unet(at)gmail.com> About *NIX: If its not fun, why do it?
