Hi,

How can I install the MPlayer Plugin for Mozilla?

$ apt-cache search mozilla mplayer
mozilla-mplayer - MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla

Since the 'mozilla-mplayer' is already obsolete, and there is no other
package I found doing this. I don't know what to do.

Thanks



Hi, "gecko-mediaplayer" is supposed to be the replacement, but several
other choices exist though vlc, totem or xine plugins.



I'll embarrass myself and expose my ignorance but why is mozilla-mplayer
obsolete? Thanks - John
I don't have an "official" explanation, but upstream website sure doesn't show signs of a great activity... 

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/index.php
gecko-mediaplayer description says it's from the same author, surely he had reasons to abandon mplayer plugin or just lost interest, asking him is the best way to find out.
