ARCHIVES - Multimedia Don't know how to watch DVDs using mplayer? Asking yourself what the heck mplayer is? This is the right place to ask.

after months of problems with mplayer plugin I decided to give the xine browser plugin a try.
It wo9rks flawlessly in playing various multimedia files.

The problem I have is that as soon as I try to unload the plugin - move to another page etc firefox crashes.
It does this 100% of the time after viewing a media file with the plugin and then browsing to another page.

Have entered a bug report over at xine hq - but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity over there.

using packmans libxine1 not the official xinelib.

There is also a vlc plugin you could try.
Have a look in YAST

Yeah - have already given that a whirl. More success with the 9.xx beta than the current release but still doesn't seem to handle the variety of websites that xine does without any problem.

Most of the problems I do have are those streaming sites set up specifically for Windows Media.
Both mplayer and VLC will play them just not that well.
