gecko-mediaplayer doesn't stream mpeg, avi, quicktime, etc

[ronniew]

Not sure if this is a bug for everyone but, for the last two version of lubuntu either they way i have my system setup or a bug but gecko-mediaplayer does not play most streaming mpegs, avis, quicktime etc etc.,,, i have the restricted extras installed along with restricted addons also medibuntu enabled and the w32 and w64 codecs installed (since i'm on a 64bit pc) but even regular 32 bit won't play these files,

flash is fine, html5 is fine, movies and formats play find if downloaded but. streaming with gecko-mediaplayer in the browser in one of those codecs rarely works...

example

this page

click any of those and it doesn't work

heck even the vids on lubuntu site displaying their webcast don't work

better using the totem mozilla browser plugin
you may be better removing geckoMP

did not find the issue, thought i had but, no go, the only thing that works right now is either totem or vlc, gnome-mplayer works fine but the gecko-mediaplayer plugin is junk and has real issues streaming

is there going to be a fix for this???

just tried to listed to www.impact-radio.co.uk and error as above appears - was aok until I upgraded unbuntu.

gecko and totum re-installed but has made no difference.
