mozilla media player

[swanley007]

Hello all;

I recently installed through yum
vlc
mozilla-vlc
libmms

this is playing streams perfect. I am having an issue getting vlc to be used by mozilla firefox though. I have gone to the pref page and mplayer and windows media player are listed, but not vlc. How can i use vlc as my player in firefox....

any help would be great!

did you link the plugin to the Firefox plugin folder
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

How would I go about doing that

Sorry for the last post....wasn't thinking libvlcplugin.so is in the folder usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

[JohnVV]

and did you remove/rename the gecko-mediaplayer ( this one should be safe)
and or mozpluger( mplayer)
and/or totem plugin (libtotem-)

[swanley007]

should I remove the player or just the .so file in the directory....and if I am to uninstall should I use yum erase ????

[JohnVV]

to test it is best to just rename them
example:
libtotem-basic-plugin.so
-- to --
libtotem-basic-plugin.so.off
