(!apple video) with gnome-mplayer & gecko-mediaplayer

I'm trying to watch these video lectures for my trig class. Can't get them to play. installed firefox 3 (branded) along with gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer. I'm running arch32 and am having the same problem in kde as I had in gnome. Not sure what the deal is since it appears to start playing but stops almost immediately. Firefox doesnt crash or anything, but the video window just opens gnome-mplayer and displays stopped in the status bar.
Here is a link to the video
http://asp.mathxl.com/info/mmlib_mov.as … 4_MSTR.mov
BTW arch rocks.

Yepp, this doesn't seem to work... If you try to download the file, it actually only downloads a file named mmlib_mov.asp, which contains the following test

What a piece of bullcrap!

  • Where to put in the Wiki: problems with chromium and gecko-mediaplayer

    Hej,
    I had some problems to  watch embedded wmv files in chromium.
    The gecko-mediaplayer plugin did not work, but complained about not being able to load the windows media plugin, although it was correctly installed in the lib-dirs.
    Seems this is a common problem on a lot of *nixes, although I did not find a lot regarding arch.
    Solution was to use the totem-plugin instead of gecko-mediaplayer.
    I wonder what is the correct place to add this to the wiki. Should I just put a note on the browser plugin page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins)?
    Zane

    It's fairly old, but have you tried https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113548 ?
    However https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins can be a good place indeed, it already has a troubleshooting entry for gecko mediaplayer.

  • Sound working randomly in flash, vlc, gnome-mplayer since today

    Hello,
    My sound setup worked perfectly since my Arch install, but I see today that now my sound setup works randomly in flashplayer, vlc media player, and gnome-mplayer :S
    My channels aren't muted in alsamixer, of course my speakers are on...
    I don't see where the problem is :s
    Any idea ?
    Thank you

    Okay, I found the problem:
    I thought that this bug happened randomly, but it's not the case
    In fact, I don't lost the sound, but every time I start playing a file with gnome-mplayer, the PCM channel of my sound configuration is significantly decreased
    I saw that by running alsamixer when I noticed a sound problem
    Is that a "feature" or a bug ?

  • How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my bush LCD32TV022HD which does not have an HDMI port but does have 1)S-Video I/P, 2)Video I/P, 3) L

    How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
    This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
    1) S-Video I/P,
    2) Video I/P,
    3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
    4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
    5) DVI input
    6) VGA input

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • Having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video

    II'm having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video or it won't stay connected. Help!

    Is it naive of me to think that Apple should simply provide a portal on their Apple TV menu for me to access my Amazon Instant Video movies?
    Maybe a little.  Amazon is a direct competitor, so it is not really in Apple's best interest to go out of its way to add support for a competing service that will cause Apple to lose money.  The bigger problem though is all of these video services using DRM to encrypt their content and lock it away from consumers so we can only watch content we pay for on certain devices.  Compaired to before when you could buy a DVD and watch it on any TV.  Now when you buy content you can only using it on a few specific devices.
    Is their failure to do so about an Amazon/Apple rivalry, or because the two have to make some kind of deal before this can happen
    They are competitors, but a bigger issue is that it is an incredibility complex legal agreement they would have to work out.  First there are legal agreements that would have to be worked out with literally thousands of copyright holders to distribute their content.  Then there is the software licenncing since Apple and Amazon would have to disclose how their DRM encrption works, then there are pateint agreements that can be worth billions that have to be worked out.  And all of that work would be so that they support a competator.  So there is not a lot motivating them to do something that would cost a lot of money and time.
    If watching Amazon content is really your major priority you might want to return your ATV and get a Roku.

  • I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

    i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

    Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

  • Watching CNN and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin [SOLVED]

    I had a hell of a time trying to view CNN videos (http://www.cnn.com) and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin (firefox) and didn't seem to find any solutions in a forum search.
    The following worked for me:
    To get it working at all, I had to edit /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and add/edit the following options:
    noembed=1
    To get smooth video and sound without choppy playback, I had to add/edit the following options to /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf:
    cachesize = 1024
    These value for cachesize will obviously vary depending on your internet connection.  But, with my DSL/broadband connection, the default cachesize of 512 was for some reason resulting in *very* choppy playback.  The cachsize of 1024 fixed everything. 
    I can now view CNN and Yahoo videos with no problem.
    Just thought I'd share if anyone is having similar problems.

    Thanks

  • Trying to install Bootcamp 4 with non Apple video Card

    Hi folks
    So I had to buy a new video card (ATI HD 5850 1 GB DDR5) but of course, I lost acces to the boot screen, so I'm wondering how to install Bootcamp, since I don't have acces to the boot screen. In some point of the Bootcamp installation, the Mac re-boots but it freezes or something like that, so I have to turn it off.
    For the other hand, I have the original nVidia 8800 GT which came with the Mac Pro, but's fried and it only works on safe mode. So I'm wondering if it's possible to install Bootcamp by using the 8800 GT in safe mode.
    After failing on the Bootcamp installation, I have seen that the OSX already created a Bootcamp partition but in FAT 32 and we know it's neede din NTFS or such. So I was wondering if there is a way to sort this out somehow.
    I also have another Bootcamp with Win7 in other hard disk, but quite small, so now I have an empty disk of 300GB, I would like to put all the windows stuff there.
    So:
    1. It seems I cannot use the new video card because of the boot.
    2. It seems I cannot use the old video card because it's fried.
    3. The Bootcamp partition is already there but in FAT 32.
    Any ideas?
    Meanwhile, I'm going to try some kind of "ideas".
    Thanks in advance!
    Ø3

    Then I google it and I found my thread... Mmmhhh... :/ Anyway, somehow, when Mac boots in order to perform the Win7 installation, after the Apple' chime, a BIG and BLACK pixellated apple apears on a super white background. While it stays, the disk is scratching the surface, then appears an icon of a Folder with an ? on it, The again, the big apple and the scratch, then a Ø symbol ^^ and again, the  with the scratching sound and loops all the time there... I think it's because the non apple video card. But how can be possible... Installation is just, you know, a pair of graphics going there, not OpenGL stuff! xD

  • Need help with an Apple Video Conferencing webcam

    I am having a fit trying to get my Performa (6500/225) to work with the hardware I have. Previously I had a Performa 6400/180. I have an Apple Video Conferencing webcam that I was able to make work with OS 9.1. It worked with the original software that came with it and it worked with the software for the Logitech Quickcam (QuickPict setting) I was even able to use it with Ivisit (webcam program). Now that I've had to change the harddrive and reinstall everything, it doesn't work with anything but the original software.
    Can anyone tell me what extensions I might need or how to configure it so it will work with what I already have?
    Performa 6500/225   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    Thanks to all who tried to help. As it turned out it was not a problem with the cam. It took some time and some tweaking but I did get it to work. I had a problem with the webchat program iVisit and I was able to get that solved thru their tech support forum.
    This Apple Video Conference camera was a great find. I recommend it to anyone who still uses a vintage mac like mine. What a shame it was discontinued.

  • How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

    I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
    private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
    private static Media mLogo;
    private static Media mSaludo;
    private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
    private static MediaView mvLogo;
    private static Group gLogo;
    public void start(final Stage stage) {
    mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
    mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
    mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
    mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
    gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
    sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
    stage.setScene(sActual);
    stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo);
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
    I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    Can someone help me with this question, can the Apple iPod with color display Dock works for the fifth generation ipod????
    According to the local Apple Store here, the Color iPod dock (M9868G/A) will work with the 5G iPod but is a "loose fit" as far as the seating in the well goes.

  • Segfaults (firefox, gecko-mediaplayer, libc, xulrunner?)

    Hi,
    Dutch television has a large website with many videos to view online, but it doesn't work because it segfaults all the time. I use Firefox with the gecko-mediaplayer-plugins to stream the videos. I have all the latest software versions, but instead of videos I only get kernelmessages. As an example, the next link results in these kind of segfaults:
    http://player.omroep.nl/?serid=1437
    plugin-containe[12621]: segfault at 6 ip b5d06247 sp bf91c36c error 4 in libc-2.14.so[b5c8c000+162000]

    The website offers two formats (Windows Media Player, and Silverlight/Moonlight), but these segfaults happen with the WMP-setting (and Moonlight simply fails to install...)
    Does anybody know how to fix this? I reinstalled all the relevant programs I guess (firefox, gecko-mediaplayer, glibc, xulrunner) but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Rogier

    An  update on this: downgrading to 1.0.3 resolves the issue.
    Gecko-mediaplayer developer claims that it's mplayer the one at fault, and a newer version of it is needed. How new- still obscure to me.

  • [SOLVED] Gnome Mplayer Won't Work

    I have Gnome mplayer and gecko player installed on my maching with the mplayer-mt Aur package.  Gnome-mplayer won't play any files and just says "Stopped" on the bottom.  Can't figure it out, I've tried re-installing it and the regular mplayer package too without any luck.  Anybody know what the problem might be?

    Deleting the gnome-mplayer folder did the job.  It works now thanks.
    The only thing is, if I change any settings whatsoever in gnome-mplayer preferences, it stops again.  I guess I'll just stick to all the stock settings...
