Mplayer-plugin doesnt show in about:plugins?

Why..
I have installed mplayer-plugin but it doesnt show when I type about:plugins in firefox?

Why is all mplayer plugins put here:
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/
I had to copy /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/*.* to .mozilla/plugins/ to make firefox notice all the mplayerplugins.. now it shows in about:plugins.

Idvd doesnt show picture on front

I have a quick question, I am putting a dvd together throwing my fcp into idvd 8 then I am putting a cover on the menu and throwing a 50 sec song in with it, now when I burn the dvd the song comes up right away but the pictures doesnt show until about 56sec after the song starts to loop from the beginning again then the picture finally appears, I need the picture to come up right away, now I know its something simple, am I not dropping something in the right spot?

Hello, bill,
What theme did you use, if any? Are you using One-Step iDVD?
Did you perhaps drop the photo into a Drop Zone instead of the background?
I tested out the iDVD7.0 themes, placing a background photo, and it showed up right away in all the themes I tried.

Apple's trailer site crashes Firefox w/ mplayer plugin

Okay, this is beyond weird. Basically, I can go and watch a video in high quality or otherwise pretty much anywhere that isn't Apple's website... If I go there, Firefox just crashes without an error or explanation. This is pretty unfortunate since I view the bulk of my streaming video from there. I know some people had this issue before, but it effected all videos with them... This is just effecting this one site with me.
Running Firefox from the terminal is completely unhelpful as it provides no useful info.
I've got the latest versions of Firefox and mplayer plugin and am running KDEmod 4.2 with the qt-gtk-engine thing.
Anyone have a solution to this annoying little issue?
Thanks!

I have the same problem...

and it happens on any browser (firefox, epiphany or midori), well... opera doesn't crash but I see the new pop-up window showing and disappearing very quickly.
Anyone knows why or has a fix that doesn't imply using a different player?

Sometimes, plugin is started without crash, but resolution of video stream is very low, because plugin use very low bitrate (about 5Kbytes/s), although bandwith of my ADSL connection is 2Mbit/s
FireFox-2.0.0.3 (2.0.0.4 crashed every time with the same error)
mplayer-plugin 3.40
glib2 2.12.11-1
ArchLinux 0.9 Duke
Thanks for any suggestions

berbae, thank you for answer.
I upgrade xulrunner to 1.8.1.4-1, firefox to 2.0.0.4 and rebuilt mplayer-plugin via ABS
Running firefox after upgrade first time mplayer-plugin works properly. But all next launches finished with crash.
Sometimes plugin started, but controls doesn't work and CPU load about 100%, so I can only terminate it.
The same problem in Slackware http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … p?t=549302
So, I built old mplayer-plugin 3.35 and installed it. No more crashes in firefox 2.0.0.4 for me. I need to rebuilt mplayer - some libraries upgraded after pacman -Syu
Full screen mode work normally, if video output switched to 'gl' (my videocard is Intel i855G)
Bitrate (or resolution) still detect unproperly on some streams.

How to use mplayer-plugin?

How do you use mplayer-plugin in Firefox?
I always just have empty mplayer window or area, when I click "play" I just see "stopped".
I have exactly same effect on two different computers with Arch.
Do I need some special configuration for mplayer-plugin?
What is so special in this plugin that it can't work just by default?

It should just work after installing Mplayer and the plugin. If you launch Firefox from a terminal, are you seeing any errors?

Mplayer-plugin

I have a problem with mplayer-plugin If I try to view apple trialers or streaming stuff firefox locks up ...
Is there any way I can trace the problem (in a term maybe!) ?

try moving ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf out of the way. the defaults in /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf are working with most apple trailers. they will be overridden by whatever you have in your user's configuration.
to trace what mplayer-plugin is doing, add
debug=[0-3]
in /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Mplayer-plugin - anyone can use it?

Could you tell me how to use mplayer-plugin?
Or could you point me to any documentation?
This is example site with movies:
http://www.galaxydynamics.org/cosmic_cruise.html
When I click on avi this plugin just blocks firefox.

The keyboard controls aren't working for me while the video is embedded. If you use the 'noembed=1' option in ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf, the video will launch in it's own window and the regular Mplayer controls will work.
As far as the cache goes, it looks like it starts over when the video is stopped then restarted. I'm not sure if this is editable or not.
What do you mean when you say it looks poopy?

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

[solved] Mplayer-plugin downloads files

Whenever I play an avi with mplayer-plugin, it gets downloaded to my homedir. There's nothing wrong with playback, everything still works, but I wonder why the file is in my homedir. :S I also have to remove the file manually.
Could it have something to do with caching?
I'm also having problems with some streams. They say 'buffering' and then it just stops. When I look into my homedir, sure enough there's a file named playlist (because it's a stream) but it doesn't play.

That worked. Thanks.

Update your pacman database (pacman -Sy) or really force it to update (pacman -Syy). The packages you are trying to download are not the latest versions
