firefox to stream, not download

Hi on opensuse11.2 id do not have any plugin to handle streaming like quicktime, windows media etc.

If I take the url directly into vlc:
% vlc -vvv “http://mywebserver/clips/clip1.avi
it streams fine.

I’ve tried adding variation this to mimetypes.rdf:


  <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:video/x-msvideo"
      NC:path="/usr/bin/X11/vlc"
      NC:fileExtensions="avi"
      NC:prettyName="vlc stream avi"
      NC:editable="true"
      NC:saveToDisk="false"
      NC:alwaysAsk="false"
      NC:handleInternal="false">
    <NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:video/x-msvideo"/>
    <NC:possibleApplication RDF:resource="urn:handler:local:/usr/bin/X11/vlc"/>
  </RDF:Description>

But it always start downloading.
I can alter the NC:alwaysAsk parameter so I see it is being used.

All I want is a one click streamer, maybe I must use the mplayer plugin?. I just find it strange I cant just pipe the data direcly to vlc.

Thanks

I also have the vlc-mozillaplugin installed


% rpm -qal vlc-mozillaplugin
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libvlcplugin.so

and about:plugins in firefox says:
VLC Multimedia Plug-in
    File name: libvlcplugin.so

But it does not seem to work anyway.
