Yes, I could play them with firefox(default) and
swiftfox too, but I want to use the mozilla browser
which doesn't play them. I think the problem is that
Ubuntu/Kubuntu supports the default firefox but not so
much the mozilla browser. I wonder if anyone in
Kubuntu land uses the mozilla browser?
I have mozilla-mplayer installed and can't find
mplayerplug-in in the cached programs to install.
Kevin DeKorte, from mplayerplug-in development user
list has suggested I install it from the Kubuntu
mirrors or from Debian. However. its not in the cache
and I have universe, multiverse, backports, automatix,
cipherfunk, canonical and wine.budgetdedicated in my
sources.list.
What mirror do I need to add to sources.list to get
mplayerplug-in? According to Mr. DeKorte it conflicts
with mozilla-mplayer.

That may be the

Firefox are:

> Google VLC Multimedia (mplayerplug-in 3.17)
>QuickTime Plug-in 6.0
> RealPlayer 9.0 (mplayerplug-in 3.17)
> Windows Media Player Plug-in (mplayerplug-in 3.17)
> mplayerplug-in 3.17

I have these(later version on some) and mozplugger as
shown by Help>about plugins, in the mozilla browser.
How do you remove(feel stupid asking but don't know)
the plugins you don't want? Just remove them from
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? I think most of them came in
via moziller-mplayer. Should I remove it? Ari Pollack
said to remove a bunch too but left the discorse
before sayhing how. I really don't know the corret way
to do this.

I'm using a fresh install of kubuntu dapper with
kubuntu.desktop installed and upgraded to 6.0.
6-1.

Thanks for your input. I think we're getting closer to
the real issue but you can see from above that I'm a
little lost in the details.
