How to play .wmv in SeaMonkey?

#1 Post by DaveS »

I want to be able to play embedded .wmv files within Seamonkey, but cant find a plug-in. I guess this has come up before, so could someone please point me to the link I need? Thanks................... Dave.

Hi,
in puppy there should be the gxine plugin but it opens an external player window. If you want embedded video you should try the mplayer plugin.
I found a reference here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25591 (even though I don't know which puppy version are you using and I didn't try this pup myself).
Otherwise it is also listed here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... uppylinux/
In my experience, I have to say that I had the best result using gxine player (not the plugin).
Ciao
Libero

I am seeing real serious problems with gxine - trying to view common video file formats I get audio only - and no error.

4.12-Normal Frugal ext3

Will be interested to hear how things work out for you.
