Gxine in Mozilla & Co.

Gxine in Mozilla & Co.

[Peter]

Hi,

Lately mozilla, netscape and firefox open by default gxine to play music or
video which unfortunately does not work giving errors about missing plugins
and if not that will buffer for ever.

I then have to go through several steps to open with either realplayer or
totem.

Where do I change the default settings to either realplayer or totem. I can't
find it in the preference settings of those browsers.

I noticed as well that the BBC Radio Player does not open anymore instead will
try gxine.

Lately above could mean after upgrading in slackware 10.1 to
dropline-gnome-2.20.2.

Thanks & regards

I found the answer. First I installed the latest realplayer10. Then in
mozilla in Preferences>Navigator>Helper-Applications I had to do the settings
to point for video to ~/Realplayer/realplay

This then will do the settings as well for netscape and firefox where
strangely I cannot find such helper-application. After this the BBC Radio
Player works again.

Does it say anywhere settings for netscpe or firefox have to be done in
mozilla? I have not looked for it.
