Viewing Online Audio and Video in Firefox
In order to view online audio and video streams in Firefox, you may need to install some plugins. Which plugin you choose to install depends on the media player which you prefer (see the section called "Video").
-
For the Totem Gstreamer plugin (the default Ubuntu media player), install the totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin package from the Universe repository (see Chapter 2, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
-
For the Totem Xine plugin, install the totem-xine-firefox-plugin package from the Universe repository (see Chapter 2, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
-
For the Mplayer plugin, install the mozilla-mplayer package from the Multiverse repository (see Chapter 2, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
-
The changes will take effect when you close and open Firefox.
[Note]
These steps will install the plugin for Firefox. However, to play some formats, you may need to add some extra codecs (see the section called "Multimedia Codecs").
