Following my most recent update world of Sept. 13, mplayer only produces a black screen when playing quicktime .mov files.
Ditto in firefox. This was working. But I'm not sure really what is playing the videos ... I do have gecko installed but in the firefox settings/applications it lists: quicktime files as being handled by `Use quicktime plugin 7.4.5 All other video formats are listed as being handled by gecko. I'm not sure if firefox settings were changed by update world. Can anyone throw some light on what might be the problem here. Does anyone know if the new version of mplayer(1.0_rc4_p20090919-r1) offered in portage (which is not yet available in gentoo repos)... might fix the problem? ===== * ===== * ===== * ===== A list of
