    Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto

    Ubuntu freak, I get the following readout in terminal when trying to get other sites working (youtube is fine, but cnn and others crash it)

    sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo mkdir /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree && sudo cp -f ~/Desktop/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ && sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin && sudo ln -sf /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/flashplayer-alternative.so

    Do I have to delete /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree to try this?

    Just put 4 QT7 entries in and restarted FF with the file open

    "The file /home/jos/.mozilla/firef…yp.newbuild/pluginreg.dat changed on disk."

    Clicked reload and noticed that all entries have now gone.

    Strange thing is, it was working fine up until last week when I installed dansguardian. I had difficulty uninstalling DG, ended up doing a force purge deletion of it and had been having some curious FF profile issues, hence my re-install of Hardy, but wouldn't the install of removed all of the dansguardian anyway?

    I'm toying with the idea of backing everything up and formatting and starting again, but that's really a last resort.

    Ok, I've even renamed the plugin file and restarted the tutorial to make sure all the entries are there in a fresh pluginreg.dat.

    Again, manually added the Q7 line and noticed it's removal on restarting FF. However I have found this in all the pluginreg.dat including the renamed files :

    "1211904982000:1:5:$
    <a href="http://dekorte.homeip.net/download/gnome-mplayer/">Gecko Media Player</a> 0.6.0<br><br>Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using <a href="http://mplayerhq.hu">MPlayer</a>:$
    QuickTime Plug-in 7.0 / 7:$"

    The Q6 line is still present in the file.
    "[PLUGINS]
    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so:$
    :$
    1211904982000:1:1:$
    <a href="http://dekorte.homeip.net/download/gnome-mplayer/">Gecko Media Player</a> 0.6.0<br><br>Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using <a href="http://mplayerhq.hu">MPlayer</a>:$
    QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 / 7:$"

    May give OPTION 2, MPLAYERPLUG-IN instead of the gecko media player and see what happens that way

    It's simple really, either install flashplugin-nonfree and execute the command again, or skip the first two commands and start from "sudo cp -f".

    I don't know what you can do to solve your issue. I do know that these Quicktime playback issues will be fixed in Ubuntu 8.10, but it's too risky to install those versions of GNOME MPlayer and Gecko Mediaplayer in Hardy.

    Didn't resolve it for me, but hey if the fix is in 8.10 then so be it. It's not as if missing a few websites with embedded quicktime files is going to make me lose any sleep.

    I followed this and now I can't get compwiz animations to work. I told it to reinstall and it didn't work. Uninstalled and reinstalled, and it didn't work. What do I do?
