viewing non-Youtube embedded video
Let's consider all the critiques of embedded flash to be made. After all, they have been. The mplayer plug-in with HQTube works quite well on Youtube, I'll grant, but most of the video that interests me is news related stuff that I find on other sites. Mplayerplug-in + HQTube does not often work here. Does anybody have a happy solution to this? -- Edward Ahlsen-Girard Ft Walton Beach, FL

I get this message: HQTube needs updating, it is no longer compatible. You Totem also fails to work with this message: YouTotem: Unable to find video source Using i386 and -current -- A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Re: viewing non-Youtube embedded video
You may want to look at www/mozplugger as a starting point, http://openports.se/www/mozplugger then http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html to have a look at the configuration script. If memory serves, I compiled the source 3 or 4 releases ago with no problem. On the plus side, when the config file exists but an application is not in the path, the browser will not stay pat or exit un-gracefully. This feature alone is a good reason to install mozplugger :-) Ed Ahlsen-Girard wrote: Let's consider all the critiques of embedded flash to be made. After all, they have been.

Does Gecko-mediaplayer want to run under gnome (which I don't use)? -- Edward Ahlsen-Girard Ft Walton Beach, FL

But you could have found that yourself. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
