Close your Firefox
Remove the plugins you will no longer be using:
Code:sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla mozilla-plugin-vlc
Install the awesome mplayer plugin:
Code:sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
Add these symlinks that enable the plugin to handle Stage6's DIVXs
Code:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so
Code:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt
Configure the plugin to with approriate Buffer / Cache size; this fixes the BBC / CBC windows media stream stuttering
Open the config file:
Code:sudo gedit /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
Add the following lines in the file: (this works great in my system; you might have to do some tuning of the cachesize and cache-percent)
cachesize=1000
cache-percent=30
download=0
showlogo=0
black-background=1
Start your browser, check your new setup in www.cbc.ca and Stage6
Enjoy!
