Video in mozilla/firefox
This may be a very old FAQ, and if so, my apologies.
For several months now, I have been unable to watch video streams
from most sites (including e.g. cnn.com) using mozilla/firefox +
mozilla-mplayer. The stream seems to connect, plays for about 1/3
of a second, then stops, then starts all over again, does the same
thing.
Youtube and Google video are o.k., but most other sites are not.
I had been expecting that the problem would cure itself through
Sid dist-upgrades, but so far it has not.
Is this a known symptom? Is there a cure?
dpkg -l|grep mplayer says
ii mozilla-mplayer 3.31-1
ii mplayer 1.0-pre8cvs20061002-0.0
ii mplayer-doc 1.0-pre8cvs20061002-0.0
ii mplayer-skin-blue 1.5-0.5
ii mplayer-vidix-radeon 1.0-1
ii xmms-xmmplayer 0.3.3-1
Regards, Jan
