I got this going using the mplayer-plugin. It also required grabbing a
bunch of Windows codecs from the mplayer site.
Here is my recipe (may vary depending on the rpms you already have). You
will need the livna repositories in your /etc/yum.repos.d
yum install mplayerplug-in mplayer-skins
cd /usr/lib/win32
wget
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2
tar xjvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2
cd essential-20050412
mv * ..
rm essential-20050412.tar.bz2
Then point firefox at a wmv file. This also gives you quicktime, which was what I
really wanted.
Cheers, Ben
How can I point firefox to this directory /usr/lib/win32?
I hope this is not a stupid question.
