Hi, I am writing to ask how to set up some links in Firefox to start Mplayer when I click on a link to an audio stream.
Have you set "edit -> preferences -> applications" ?
I don't know what you are feeding mplayer, but I've set it up for .wav files and it downloads the file then fires up KMplayer.
I prefer to use the embedded xine player for .wav files, though. It seems to get the sound started a lot faster.
Hi, thanks for the info. I set the preferences like you wrote, and that allows mplayer to start when I click on the hyperlink to the audio stream. I had used that method I described in my first post in the past on opensuse 10.1-10.3 to get things working, but haven't used it since I started to use one-click to get the multimedia working. I think that maybe the reason that it didn't work is that the string should be /usr/bin/gmplayer instead of /usr/bin/mplayer. I tried clicking on the gmplayer gear icon when I opened /usr/bin/ in konqueror, and that started mplayer. I opened about:config in Firefox again, and since I set "edit>preferences>applications", my previous preferences that I set are gone from about:config. I'll play with this more this evening when I have some free time to figure out what happened. But for now your advice works, so thanks!
