Strange thing is that opera opens the .wmv file if you click on it on the web page but not if you open the file in $HOME/.opera/temporary_download If you click right on it and choose mplayer it will open it.OK, Roland. I've just tried installing it and playing a selection of video files, but no success. I tried video from cnn.com larouchepac.com news.bbc.co.uk The CNN page just pops the "No Windows Media Player Detected" window, which takes you to M$ if you click on the button The larouchepac.com videos pop an Opera dialog which asks what I want to do - selecting "Open" opens mplayer, but, then nothing happens The BBC video popped the which media do you want to use dialog; I tried realmedia first, but that produced an error message when it tried to play the actual file; then, I changed it Windows Media, and it didn't get past fully opening the play window before it just stalled with the window half openNow, why does he or she does it on my installation and not in yours? I installed serveral plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla which are apparently used by opera. In Tools->Advanced->Plugins I find the following plugins: Shockwave Flashapplication/futuresplash spl application/x-shockwave-flash swf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so NS4PluginProxyapplication/x-opera-nsplugin - /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libnpp.so Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatibleaudio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin rpm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.soMy plugins look the same except I don't have Adobe Reader: Shockwave Flashapplication/futuresplash spl application/x-shockwave-flash swf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so NS4PluginProxyapplication/x-opera-nsplugin - /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libnpp.so Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatibleaudio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin rpm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.soCould you check this and if it still does not work I can look further or back in my history how I installed the plugins Roland
I looked up and found this: You have to do : yum install gcc-c++ and do what is in the pdf, I included in this mail. I hope I can attach a pdf file. You also can have a look at http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html Just pray it little bit like I did. Good luck If it doesn't work just get back to me.
