I can't speak to specific links, however, I have it working. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
AMD64 firefox-bin, realplayer 10.5 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I am able to play the videos from 'audio/video' in the bar across |
| 24 |
the top, and the ones mentioned at the bottom of the right hand |
| 25 |
column under Video. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I am unable to play the video via the link |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Local video from WWL-TV |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
At first nothing worked. I ran realplay standalone and accepted |
| 32 |
the license. After that the embedded browser stuff starting working, |
| 33 |
but others have reported that step is not necessary. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If I run firefox-bin from a window I get lots of output from the |
| 36 |
invoked realplay session which helps. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I also have |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
/opt/firefox/components/nphelix.xpt |
| 41 |
and |
| 42 |
/opt/firefox/plugins/nphelix.so |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I recall having to put them there myself. |
