 |
|
I have mplayer and mplayerplug-in installed but cannot view streaming media from the following site:
www.muzikmedia.com
Select video top 10 and "play video" (any video)
It streams perfectly in Windows but does nothing in Linux
Any ideas...anyone? |

It may be because it is designed for Windows Media Player?

It should still work with the mplayerplug-in, it works fine for me.
Have you emerged win32codecs?

| I've had win32codecs since i emerged kaffeine. Streaming (video) media just doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if there are any extra browser configurations that I need to perform. |

I'm no expert but, to get this working it is very dependent on the USE flags used when emerging mplayer. Here are mine:
| Code: |
emerge -av mplayer
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I would check your USE flags, obviously make sure mplayer is compiled with the win32codecs USE flag. I thik the live flag is significant too....
