mplayer plugin for firefox/mozilla

I want to know if it possible to install mplayerplug-in with installing mplayer? Because I tried installing by itself and I get the following:
Quote:
[root@myfc3 mplayer]# rpm -ivh mplayerplug-in-2.75-0.FC3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer > 0.90 is needed by mplayerplug-in-2.75-0.FC3.i386
[root@myfc3 mplayer]#
I dont want to use mplayer for music or video just the plugin! Thanks.

Yes, you can safely install the mplayerplug-in with --nodeps. The reason for the dependency is that the plugins are installed into the /usr/lib/mozilla directory. Firefox will use them from there as well:

$ rpm -ql mplayerplug-in
/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
/etc/mplayerplug-in.types
/usr/lib/mozilla/components/mplayerplug-in.xpt
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
/usr/share/doc/mplayerplug-in-2.75
/usr/share/doc/mplayerplug-in-2.75/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/mplayerplug-in-2.75/INSTALL
/usr/share/doc/mplayerplug-in-2.75/README
/usr/share/doc/mplayerplug-in-2.75/TODO

Thanks for your help. I tried doing it with --nodeps but did not work. How exactly should the command be given?

The command should be:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps mplayerplug-in-2.75-0.FC3.i386.rpm

Unless I'm installing a kernel (and so want multiple copies of the same package installed), I use "-Uvh". This insures that any existing package is updated (and installs if there isn't). Using "-ivh" can install multiple copies of the same package.

Thanks. I finally got it working. I had previously intalled mplayer using yum and for some reasons those packages dont work properly. Then I tried using this packages: http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/mplayer/ and I got conflicts. So I remove all traces of mplayer I installed via yum (and I mean all folders and links and so on....) then I tried the mplayer from tchung and now it WORKS!!

I was p*** off because with mandrake I had no issues but I dont have issues any more. Someone should tell those folks from livna there is something wrong with their packages.

Funnily enough I just installed those mplayer rpms too and built the plugin rpm. The mplayer check script failed on lame-libs which I dont have installed but I went ahead and did it anyway and it all works. Those apple adverts mentioned on that site look well cool, it's good to have such a plugin for firefox on linux
