Not an answer to your question, rather a follow-up: mplayerplug-in
appears not to exist for Fedora 9, at least not in the usual repos. I've
been unable to view trailers at apple.com since installing F9.
Have you tried gecko-mediaplayer?
Yes.
To be frank, I suspect that my real problem is I have *too many* plugins
and they're probably clashing with each other (even though some are
currently disabled). This is basically a result of a lack of clear
guidelines as to what is a recommended setup, plus that fact that so
many of the various tools (xine, mplayer, vlc etc.) have overlapping
funcionality. Sometimes freedom of choice is a pain in the neck :-)
Been there, done that, have an overloaded /plugins directory.
I can't express how deeply I don't care about which video player I use.
If I can get one of them to do everything reliably, I'll stick to it and
dump the rest, but I suspect that isn't possible.
I'm happy to be proved wrong ...
I have gecko-mediaplayer happily playing most of my embedded videos
using mplayer or something else. Flash was a bit of struggle, until I
got *both* versions of libflashsupport installed on my x86_64 laptop.
However, I cannot play the Apple trailers either. Maybe they have
versioned their quicktime stuff and we have to wait for updates to the
FOSS stuff?
If you want to look at it, I'm attaching a cut/paste of my about:plugins
page....
