 |
|
Hi!
I am trying to see the videos at the following site but I cannot!
http://www.necksurgery.com/articles-exercise.html
Is this a problem of my configuration or is it impossible
in Linux?
If anybody can see these videos, please tell me how.
I have mplayer compiled with USE=win32codecs.
I also have emerged win32codecs and mplayerplug-in.
firefox2 has the appropriate entry for mms (I think).
network.protocol-handler.app.mms mplayer
Thanks for any comments on this. |

Looks like your configuration is at fault: I was able to play one of the vids with mplayer. Here are the relevant bits it spat out when I played one the video URLs from a terminal:
| mplayer wrote: | MPlayer 1.0pre8-3.4.6 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
Playing mms://medtronic.earthchannel.com/medtronic/neckreference/pike.wmv.
STREAM_ASF, URL: mms://medtronic.earthchannel.com/medtronic/neckreference/pike.wmv
ASF file format detected.
VIDEO: [MP43] 360x240 24bpp 1000.000 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 40.0 kbit/3.91% (ratio: 5000->128000)
Selected audio codec: [ffwmav2] afm: ffmpeg (DivX audio v2 (FFmpeg))
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
Selected video codec: [ffdivx] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg DivX ;-) (MS MPEG-4 v3))
==========================================================================

Based on that, I'd try installing media-video/ffmpeg. If mplayer still isn't happy, try rebuilding it with USE=xvid (I think that flag might be needed to handle DivX-coded video).

Same problem here, with Firefox 1.5 (source). But mine tries to use the Totem plugin these days, and I already knew Totem can't cope with MMS. I thought that if mplayer could handle it in a terminal, it would work in FF if I were using the mplayer plugin, like you. Apparently the plugin, or getting Firefox to use it, is the problem.
By reading the source of the web page (View|Page Source). 
Sorry I couldn't be of further help.

See  That helps anyway ...
I checked konqueror and it displays the play/pause/stop buttons at least
and then claims that it does not know mms. Do you know how do I
link mms to the mplayer in konqueror? |
