Re: How to install vlc plugin to firefox??

besides the above I made it work by moving the files and linking all plugin folders to /usr/share/totem/plugins it works realy well  for me also installed all the plugins for totem and others that were needed like flash and bmp like bmp-wma... etc.
the onli problem I have is that under normal user I have no sound, so if I want to lisen to what i see I have to use root , also goes the same for my hauppage HVR-1600 only works under root
after installing the new drivers  and on ly under root i can see one channel an hear under root by command "mplayer -v0 x11 /dev/video0" that makes me some what happy since I could't make it work whit any other distro that I have tried .... many of them.....
