I have just switched to openSUSE 11.0 with Firefox 3.0. I can no longer listen to my favourite radio stations. Is there some plug-in that I need?
Depends what website or audio / video is being streamed.
Try installing from Yast 2 (you probably need the packman repositories enable)
mplayer
& the mplayer plugin
or easier
and search for
gecko-mediaplayer
this is an mplayer browser plugin and will install everything else it needs - including mplayer
I got the gecko-mediaplayer. This only had Mplayer. I got the plug-in through yast. It still doesn’t work. It looks like totem is running interference. Should I get rid of the totem plug-in?
either remove totem or go through firefox configuration and set which plugin to use from there.
The things you need to make it work
gecko-mediaplayer
Mplayer (packman in yast)
Gnome-mplayer (in yast - not 100% sure that name is correct as not at my Opensuse com at the moment)
Thank you, I did get this to work. I had two copies of Firefox open and therefore when I first tried it didn’t work.
