[MPlayer-users] realplayer files on the web: rm, ram, mov

[Klaus Becker]

Hi Kevin,

I shall try what you told me. But the real problem is not how to start mplayer 
from mozilla or firefox, but how can mplayer find the video files on the web? 
(see the description of the problem at the bottom of this mail).

best regards
Klaus
