Hi! I use konqueror as a browser, with Mandriva 2006. I want to be able
to play video from inside konqueror, and kaffeine mozilla plugin is
starting to get old (last update was May of 2004). Is it any good?
Mandriva comes with kaffeine, but not the plugin. I don't want to use
crossover/wine, as it is kind of unstable. Are there any other decent
video players (xine or gstreamer compatible) that can be used under a
mozilla (compatible) browser? I don't want to use the real/helix plugin,
because it doesn't support wmv, which xine does. Thanks!
   

      

Have you tried the MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla?  I don't use Mandriva, I use 
Xandros and the plugin also works for Konqueror and Opera.

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/

This is the same thing I use but in Xandros it is called mozilla-mplayer.

Stupid me!! Kaffeine 0.7 automatically embeds iteself in konqueror! I 
forgot to check that! Thanks for the mplayer tip, though.

I have trouble with the Kaffeine-Mozilla as noted below. I posted the text below on a kaffeine user group but have had no response. Essentially I am asking how do you get both real format and other format streaming video/audio to work within your mozilla-compatible browser under recent Suse/KDE releases?

My post:
Sorry if this has been replied to many times previously. Couldn't find it in recent archive posts.

I am running Firefox 1.0.7 within KDE 3.4.2 and Suse 9.2. My kaffeine installation is 0.7.1.

If I do not install the kaffeine-mozilla plugin I can view my favourite real format (bbc.co.uk) streaming services using the real player 10 plugin. I cannot view other (non-real) streaming format like .wmv, .wma, .mov etc, which I why I would like to get the kaffeine plugin working.

If I do install the kaffeine-mozilla plugin, then it tries and fails to take over real streaming functionality (puts up a black screen area with "start kaffeine plugin" and then error message boxes about failure to load cook.so.6.0).

Stand-alone kaffeine (not the browser plug-in) works fine for all media types I have thrown at it, having installed the windows codecs according to kaffeine faqs.
