I know that setting the correct mime type would help (and that info would be of use) but that's why I gave the sample video url, so folks could tell me why I can't just kick off (for example) either xine or maybe totem. Nothing works -- I mean, the windows of the executable I am calling open up, but no video appears, even if I wait a while for download (and I have quite a lot of bandwidth). I don't need the toolnames, I need to figure out how to get them to work with the browser. > HTH, > > Dan > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
