I have Mozilla 1.3 and Mplayer installed on my RedHat 8.0 system. I can
play windows files fine if I play them from the hard drive, but when I
click a link to a wmv file in Mozilla, the file gets downloaded as a
text file (I just see a bunch of letters, numbers and symbols in the
browser screen). This happens 99 out of 100 times.
Under preferences I have the following helper applications set up
MIME Type: video/mpeg
Extension: mpg, mpeg, wmv
MIME Type: video/quicktime
Extension: mov qt
MIME Type: video/x-msvideo
Extension: avi
MIME Type: video/x-ms-wmv
Extension: wmv
***this is how the wmv files were set up under File Types and Programs
MIME Type: video/x-ms-wmv, video/mpeg
Extension: wmv
**** I'm not sure how this one got there? But the problem happened even
before this one appeared.
Long story short, how do I get all wmv files to play with mplayer?
