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.
