Jeez, but > I'd like one app that worked all the time. On the latest firefox it will recognize and launch the helix plugin, but it then just stops with a blank window. The plugin worked in the previous version of firefox. As for WMV, it didn't work even in the previous version. I googled the problem a while ago and ran across something about firefox not working with helix anymore, so I just sort of gave up. After I accidentally nuked linuxpluginwrapper I deleted and reinstalled everything and it still didn't work for me yesterday. Realplay does work as a standalone if you copy the URL into it, so the problem is in the plugin. I don't know if any or all of this applies to mozilla. If linuxpluginwrapper isn't fixed soon I'll take all the pertinent info from the last couple of threads and write up a how-to, as I do have flash and acroread working at this point with linuxpluginwrapper. Mplayer works great with WMV, but running real-anything does in fact crash firefox after a short time. Hopefully one of these apps will get fixed to run both protocols as plugins, but for now I'll settle for mplayer and run realplay stuff standalone.
