ON linux what do you use to play the streaming content?
I need both opera & FF extensions which can seamlessly play the songs.

mplayerplug-in works great for firefox

is there a straight way to install this , I am new to linux & not so used to write all those commands in terminal.

how to install mplayerplug-in-3.50.tar.gz file which I downloaded.
I unzipped it & got a folder where I see a file named install.sh.in but on clicking that nothing happens.

thats the source package you downloaded.why try and compile from source?search for binaries in your distro's repos.
BTW what distro?

It gets even easier with Ubuntu. If you are on Ubuntu, Just install the package named "totem-mozilla" from synaptic.

Oh I did not know that the plugin will also be available in repos, I was looking at mozilla addon site & google.

I got that now finally & can play the WMP content now.
But the youtube site still not having the sound, I can see the video, what else do I need to get sound at youtube. My sound cards are working fine nothing is mute
