Kaffeine plugin for Mozilla

[daihard]

Hi.

I am wondering if there's a Kaffeine plugin for Mozilla available for FC5? I am currently using totem-xine and mozplugger, both from livna I believe, to play back video on Firefox. It works fine, but since I usually use Kaffeine to view video files, I'd like to do that for movie viewing on the Web as well.

I did a bit of googling around, but I haven't been able to find any RPM or even plugin binaries. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dai

Maybe kaffeine-mozilla is what you want?
Be advised, I remember seeing another post today warning about pbone being atrpms. I might have
taken the comment out of context.

Thanks! Now, would you mind giving me a bit more info about this "pbone being atrpms" thing? I realize that there used to be a repo called "atrpms." Anything wrong with them?

[EDIT] I downloaded the SRPM and rebuilt it. The build process actually failed, but it went far eonugh to produce the necessary binaries. (The "install" step failed for some reason, but it's not critical.) I copied the three "kaffeineplugin.*" files into my MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH directory and restarted Firefox (after un-installing "mozplugger"). It now uses Kaffeine to play back embedded WMV files... exactly what I wanted to do.

There has been a warning about not using atrpms because it replaces core packages. I don't know what the deal is. I have
never used them. I don't know if installing packages from them is or can be a problem or if just installing their repo is the
problem or what. stanton Finleys installation notes has a link in the yum section you should read.

As for manually installing packages from them, I don't know, (and like I said, I might have taken the pbone
comment out of context. I just wanted to make sure you knew.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know there was a problem lke that with atrpms, though I've never used their packages before. It's definitely something to keep in mind.

As for this kaffeine-mozilla package, it should be okay since it only includes those three binaries. Well even if it included something else, I ended up extracting those three files and nothing else, instead of installing the package, anyway.

Have you considered using the mplayerplug-in for viewing videos in Firefox? See Fedora Core 5 Installation Notes for instructions.
