[gentoo-user] Konqueror & quicktime movies

Hi All,

I have for some years now survived without having mplayer on my machines 
<shock/horror!>  As a result I have not been able to play quicktime movies in 
Konqueror.  I have added the necessary link to gxine under File Associations 
but it won't launch it.  I see a noatun embedded front coming up instead 
which just stays there empty (no download takes place).

As a side issue, I have not yet been able to play HD clips from the Apple 
Trailers website using Xine or Gxine, but read in the forums and google that 
mplayer can play them alright.

Is there a way to make gxine work in Konqueror as a plugin?  Is mplayer really 
necessary to achieve either of the above?  What's your view and experience?

mplayer is available and in the portage tree. It plays any and every 
format I have ever thrown at it, and does it on any one of many audio 
and video devices and systems.

Why would anyone ever want to use something else?

IMHO mplayer is really necessary...
