After reading your post, I feel like I have an idea of your problem but would like a specific test case. So, please provide a web site with an embedded video that exhibits the problem you have and which browser you would like to view it with. <div>On 8/19/06, Leonard Chatagnier <<a href="mailto:lenc5570@sbcglobal.net">lenc5570@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> This issue dates back to Debian Sid(several months ago) and now with Ubuntu/Kubuntu distros. I hope someone will assist as I have posted to Ubuntu but no solution. Here's the situation: The embedded videos on my yahoo home page(AP, ABC, Reuters, etc.) play well(almost; some bluring, smearing at times) with firefox but dont't play with konqueror or mozilla browser(the one I want to use). Since it plays on firefox I don't think it's a flash8 issue. The last time I had the mozilla browser play embedded videos was with woody and sarge and it played with mplayerplug-in but I had help to get it to play. With firefox the mplayerplug-in player comes up as it used to in mozilla browser when it worked a long time ago. It may recycle through the usual(connecting, buffering, playing, etc) but it eventually plays. In moz browser everything loads and finally ends up with blank greyed out player screen with a teal green double crossed image in the middle of the screen. When you click the image the message is: "This page contains information of a type(application/x-mplayer2)that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in(exact quote). The message is entitled: Default Plugin. The "application/x-mplayer2" is listed in KDE's file association listing. When I came accross this before under Deb Sid, the mime type wasn't in the list, was added manually but didn't fix the prob. I'm using a global setup for Mozilla and mplayer. I have installed w32 codecs, libxine-extracodecs, mozilla-mplayer, mplayer, kmplayer, totem-xine-firefox-plugin, kmplayer-kong-plugins, kaffeine-xine, gxine, xine-ui, totem-xine, sun-java5-jre 1.5.0-06-1(1.5.0-07 installed but doesn't show in kde about plugins, flash player 7.0.63 and everything video related I know of. I wont say I've read every related man but have read many and have googled many months on this issue. I may not know what to look for. I'm not exactly a noobie but have only been using linux for just over 2 years and still consider myself a novice, please treat me a such. The reason I left debian for ubuntu/kubunto is that Debian is too geeky for me. I elected not to post any config files as I would post everything I could think of which would make this long post much longer. I prefer for the gurus and experienced user to ask for what they want to see and I'll gladly post it. My personal feeling is that this is a setup/config issue of some sort; maybe a simple one I'm just overlooking, but I just can't find it. Any and all comments welcomed. I'll try anything; just don't know what.
