As I can play Flash videos anywhere in the world... if the tv broadcaster allows them to go outside the county and unless a special home made plug-in is requested such as at ABC. Do you have any idea can possibly be the use of such a wrapper, except to prevent Linux from reading the videos? > The second link contains several other links...which was referenced in > Frank Murphy's response...and to which I replied.

If tou go to Prefrences Applications, you see gecko-mediaplayer listed for asf, asx and Windows Media??? I doubt it. > FWIW, I don't have totem installed on my Fedora system.

"Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in a browser." http://kdekorte.googlepages.com/gecko-mediaplayer But, in the Preferences, Applications options, you sometimes have mplayer, sometimes Gecko Media Player and sometimes GNOME Media Player. If this is all the same, it's rather confusing. There's also a MozPlugger option. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
