Cannot play songs from Raaga.com and smashhits.com

Hi,
Whenever, I try to play songs from these sites, the default site player opens and simply gets stuck on loading the song.
I have kmplayer, realplayer installed and the plugins are present in firefox plugins directory.

Please help.

Regards,
Abhay

Re: Cannot play songs from Raaga.com and smashhits.com

Just a bit of advice: if you have mplayer + plugin, you do not need Realplayer.

(I would go so far as to say that I do not trust Realplayer for Linux. The Windows version ranks among the world's sleeziest software. It's probably much tougher for software to have that sort of sleeze on *nix, given the package management, lack of a registry, etc., but I still am very distrustful of anything from Real.)

Hi,
I have mplayer plugins.

/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-gmp.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-qt.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-wmp.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in.xpt

I have removed realplayer
and my  ".mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat" reads


/opt/mozilla-plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.so:$

Still the site raaga.com cannot load the player, all it says is "Initializing player please wait" and the wait continues forever.

Please help.

Could be a problem with the current version of mplayer-plugin. Last time I used it, I noticed that tabs with embedded media playing in them would take several seconds to close (not an issue in the previous version). Maybe the current version is just buggy?
