On my 9.0 Pro system the path is /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins for the .so file/link and /opt/mozilla/lib/components for the .xpt file/link. (I landed the actual files in these directories instead of keeping the links. It works fine here, but YMMV, of course. Note: I had to manually relocate the .xpt file to /components because the installation didn't agree with the documentation. This location seems to be consistent with all of the other .xpt files in that directory.
I noticed that the documentation for RealPlayer says to put the .xpt link in components, but for Firefox anyway, it works fine if they are both in the plugins directory. --snip--
Now, everything is working as it should. I can view all on-line multimedia content from within Mozilla (1.6) except for live streams (rtsp & mms) served from masked locations -- where the web pages call them up using intermediary (usually javascript) routines.
Example: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html
To access content served in this manner using my current configuration, I have to use Konqueror -- which correctly identifies and captures the streams being handed off and launches them in the appropriate standalone applications.
I can view that site's content in Firefox, so I'm surprised that it doesn't work with Mozilla.
One final note: I don't know if Firefox is the same, but in Mozilla (1.6), it was necessary to open about:config (using the address bar) to register Real Player and Windows Media Player streaming content, as follows:
Preference Name: network.protocol-handler.app.mms Status: user set Type: string Value: /usr/bin/gmplayer
Preference Name: network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp Status: user set Type: string Value: /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay
No, not necessary with Firefox. David -- Registered Linux User No 207521 The Linux Counter: http://counter.li.org/ "The above is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of the little voices in my head."
