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= =20 then just stops with a blank window. The plugin worked in the previous=20 version of firefox. As for WMV, it didn't work even in the previous version= =2E=20 I googled the problem a while ago and ran across something about firefox no= t=20 working with helix anymore, so I just sort of gave up. After I accidentally= =20 nuked linuxpluginwrapper I deleted and reinstalled everything and it still= =20 didn't work for me yesterday. Realplay does work as a standalone if you copy the URL into it, so the prob= lem=20 is in the plugin. I don't know if any or all of this applies to mozilla. If= =20 linuxpluginwrapper isn't fixed soon I'll take all the pertinent info from= =20 the last couple of threads and write up a how-to, as I do have flash and=20 acroread working at this point with linuxpluginwrapper. Mplayer works great with WMV, but running real-anything does in fact crash= =20 firefox after a short time. Hopefully one of these apps will get fixed to r= un=20 both protocols as plugins, but for now I'll settle for mplayer and run=20 realplay stuff standalone.
