I have just figured out how to watch webcasting on Linux OS, i would like to share this little trick with anyone interested and still wondering...

This method works on RedHat Linux 9 and Fadero Core 1, with mozilla browser, version 1.5. I guess it should be working with all linux distribution with all Mozilla-family browser.

here it goes:

1. download http://www.jinchen.org/mplayerplug-in-1.0.tar.gz
[the file should be named: mplayerplug-in-1.0.tar.gz]
after download, close(including doanload manager) mozilla!

2. $gunzip mplayerplug-in-1.0.tar.gz

3. $tar -xf mplayerplug-in-1.0.tar

4. $cd mplayerplug-in

5. $su

6. #./configure

7. #make

8. now, let's assume your mozilla directoy is /usr/local/mozilla, you have to find out your own mozilla directory, here is just an example. how to find it? oh... if you dont know, you have to read basic linux manual to find out. I am very lazy.

#cp mplayerplug-in.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/

9. start mozilla, and enjoy!


Wish all of you merry christmas and happy new year!

it should be self-sufficient. should be working without full mplayer support. I tried the NUS CS1101C and CS4217 lecture webcasting, it both works.. haha.. i think nus TV casting should be ok as well..
