Firefox and windows media streams

Juggernaut · Mar 13, 2005, 03:37 PM

Hey guys

I got a problem. I made a 155mb XP installation but also removed explorer, windows media player etc.

I cant play .wmv files now unless i use VLC media player.
but the biggest problem is, when i go to stream websites with Firefox it says 'unknown plugin'

and i REALLY don't want this s^%& media player back on my pc.
Any1 know a good alternative? like quicktime/real alternative program?

hmm, i thought vlc media player had an option to install a plugin for mozilla in the installer, download the latest installer, and reinstall vlc media player with the mozilla plugin option checked in the installer.

gewoon het vinkje aanklikken dus,

probably the plugin only works for mozilla suite then, and not for firefox.
