[gentoo-user] mplayerplug-in downloads but doesn't play
Does anyone have this problem? I click a link, such as on the page I put in this email, I get a new Firefox window, mplayerplug-in seems to be downloading, but then never plays. If I look at processes using top and ps aux I do not see mplayer at all. http://blog.dis-dot-dat.net/2005/11/more-music.html There are ogg and mp3 links to try. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What version of mplayerplug-in are you running? I *greatly* recommend using at least 3.11 (which is still marked ~x86) - it's the first that works really well for me (the earlier releases would crash firefox when you left the page with the video on it.) I'd also see the problem you see with earlier versions - the page would appear to download the video but nothing would happen. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am still running version 2.80 of the mplayerplug-in and it works just fine. Though I must admit that I had the same problem as Mark at the beginning. It came from the default video driver used by mplayer/mplayerplug-in which wasn't compatible with my video card. I had to edit the ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf file: vo=xv ao=alsa osdlevel=1 I hope that it helps. -- Nicolas Litchinko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Stay with 3.11. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Two questions: 1) Is xv a driver that you use for your video card? The specific system I'm looking at has this in xorg.conf: Section Device Identifier Intel 810 Driver i810 #VideoRam65536 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate EndSection Would I choose 'i810' where you used 'xv'? 2) The system in question doesn't have a file ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf. Did you create this file or was it there for you to modify? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Did you create this file or was it there for you to modify? I think I had to create this file. I see that there is a file /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf. Everything is commented out so I tried starting with that. It turns out that my AMD64 box already used 3.11 and I took the P4HT box back to 3.11. The AMD64 does play audio, but strangely. mplayer starts in the background. The audio plays but there is no way to stop it short of killing mplayer. The P4 still just downloads and doesn't play. I can download a file and play it in the mplayer gui just fine on the P4, but not from the link within Firefox so far. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
