How to install a text/html decoder plugin

[sashag]

Hi!

I tried to listen to a radio station here in Canada, and when I typed in
the URL of the radio station through the Ubuntu music player, I got a popup
that said that the text/html decoder was not installed. How do I go about doing that? Thanks!

I don't recall seeing that particular message before myself. Would it be possible for you to give the url of the radio station?

Hi!

Yes, here's the URL of the radio station:

http://www.650cisl.com

Hope that helps! Thanks.

I am running Firefox 3.6 under 64 bit Ubuntu 10.4


I have just run into the same problem trying to play my voicemail online with Comcast Digital Voice.

It searches for a package with the plugin and cannot find one.

It turns out (another thread) the SOLUTION is simply to go to Synaptic and install

gecko-mediaplayer

and restart your browser.

Works fine.

Just emailed Comcast (for what good it will do) and am online with their chat trying to communicate there as well.

This is great and all, and fixes it for firefox, but google chrome is still broken. Any one have any thoughts?

Here are all the plugins chrome is using:

These are what firefox is using:

Does anyone know exactly which firefox plugin is getting this working? Also, how do I add that to google chrome?

The Liberian Geek reference is interesting... what the heck is "gksu " ??



As to plugins for Chromium, I really couldn't say. I ONLY use Chromium if I run into a site problem with Firefox. I'm one of those 'brand loyal' guys.
