[gentoo-amd64] web based media problem

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   When I visit a page such as the one this link points to and try to
play some music Firefox complains about a missing plugin - x-mplayer2:

http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?songs=609889&t=9495

   Since the link seems to diverge from reality through some sort of
javascript call it's unclear to me what media type this link is
pointing to or how to get Firefox to play the audio.

   Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Do you have net-www/mplayerplug-in installed?

Hi,
   Yes, I believe so. I am using firefox-bin.

lightning ~ # emerge -pv mplayerplug-in

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.35  USE="gtk quicktime -divx
-gmedia -realmedia -wmp" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
lightning ~ #

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Torsten,
   I find that mplayerplug-in is doing its job when I run the 64-bit
version of firefox  build here but not when I run firefox-bin which I
need for other types of web-based media.

   Can this work with firefox-bin?

   Thanks for the hint!

Cheers,
Mark
