i've open suse 10.2 and using firefox some time i have to listen to online mp3 , wav , rm and ram i have real player installed and vlc also in firefox extensions Media Player Connectivity but i can't play either online mp3 or wav but rm and ram is played with real player is just fine how to play these files ?? what do i need to do ?
I like Xmms. There are many other apps for you to look into as well. Such as Xaudio, AlsaPlayer,RythmBox, AmaroK and MPD. To mention a few.
i knew about xmms i downloaded it through yast but it doesn't play any files in the normal playback neither by open nor even by dragging files to the playlist but i'll check the list of players you gave to me and be back with results thanks
for the mp3 files, i use amarok. can you play .asx files? i tried media player connecti.. no success !
It's a matter of configuration (as I found out to my cost this week) I believe suse uses ALSA so you will need to link firefox to whichever player you decide to use, and ensure that the player is linked to your sound driver and not a null device. Sounds simple?..believe me it's not.
sorry for taking so long to replay i was out of town ok xmms not working for me also amarok I'm using firefox and realplayer also vlc how to link between them
I had a problem with m3u playlists. Did this. 1. Type "about:config" on the address bar to get to firefox config settings. 2. Do a filter search for "hide_plugins" and double click on "browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions" to change the settings value to "false". 3. Open up "Edit > Preferences", go to the "Downloads" area and click on "View & Edit Actions". 4. It should now list all the "File Type". Do a search for audio and change the "MP3 audio (streamed)" to open up in the external xmms player. [edit] without the quotes [/edit] Then restart firefox
Mine just works.. Don't know how as a search for audio brings up an empty box. When I click on a play link iceweasel asks me what player I want to use.
