Greetings all;
I can see that its installed and should be calling kaffeine to service a quite wide range of video formats.
Unfortunately, while kaffeine is installed and runs for other digital than tv broadcast, neither firefox is actually calling it. So while I can see videos, some on cnn, and some on nbc news in firefox's postcard sized video, nothing that I have been able to add, will call up kaffeine to play a youtube video. If I launch a copy and have it running, it seems to me that firefox should pass the data stream to the running copy of kaffeine.
But its not happening, no reaction from kaffeine can be obtained from either version of firefox.
So I installed the gxine launcher plugin. Looks like an identical list of acceptable video formats to that of kaffeine.
Is there an about:config option to be set so this works? What else do I need to check?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

write in your url: about:plugins and check the output

Perhaps because kaffeine uses the same xine software?

Tools -> AddOns -> Plugins
you can manage whatever you have installed

Thats all there, looking good, but neither of the two new firefoxes will use it. I believe the only videos I can play are H264 stuff.
