titou2k, no problem bud - happy to test!

In fact, I'm seriously considering putting together some sort of nLite codecs package that consists of *just* the files required to play WMA/WMV, RealMedia and QT content in Firefox/MPC.

I know there are several codec packages already out there, but I'm sure they are not as clean or compact as they could be, with regard to extraneous files and registry entries.

Cheers,
James

That woulde an awesome idea, I will wait patiently to test it @ some point.

I have installed MPC and the plugin dll in to FireFox' plugin folder.
Furthermore I installed QT & real alternatives and streaming for the sites I visit regularly it works flawlessly now !

Good work titou !

@coch
Your lite process to install quicktime codec works but i have 1 pb:

If i copy and register QTPlugin.ocx with QuickTime.qts in the same folder, then the streaming doesn't work and a 0 byte QuickTime.qtp file is created.

Did you notice this problem?

Hi,

No I did not have this problem. Are you referring to streaming in IE? I must admit I had not tested IE streaming, not it seems that my methods for RealPlayer and Quicktime does not stream in IE (maybe I'm only missing the plugin). I only tested in Firefox amd I did not have this problem at all. My quicktime.qtp is 9 kb in size. I will investigate the issue (although the fact that streaming in IE does not wirk is of minor concern to me)

[titou2k]

As you said, the problem is only for IE.
I resolved it in the package but a reboot after installation is necessary.

[titou2k]

Let's go.
First ReaLite test (with coch process)

Will there be streaming support for Opera?

Hi does this mean you got streaming in both Firefox and IE working, would you mind indicating what was missing from my original process?

I do not use Opera, is there a plugin available for it? If there is one, I guess it is possible.

[jmbattle]

Wow, great work titou2k - you beat me to it!

The quicktime and real alternative-packages do have a plugin for Opera (and Mozilla).

[HeadHunter2]

do we need the ocx files? and IE support?
Its so that i'm not one that like to support ActiveX, the component which makes IE so unsafe.
only Mozilla browser support would be nice.
titou2k, can you please make 2 packs one for ie and one for mozilla browsers.

AFAIK is Opera an "independent" browser.
It doesn't need IE and it is not based on mozilla.

In QuicktimeAlt and RealAlt there is all plugin for (Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and netscape) I don't know how to use it and which one you need. You probably need to put it in a special folder like for firefox.

I don't think i will make a pack for each browser.
It depends of where you install your browser.
You should make a simple pack with all plugins you need (flash, quicktime, real, wmv...) and install it in the same time of your browser.
But i can make a special pack without IE ActiveX support. (i don't know if it will work after, i can test)

EDIT: for example msdxm.ocx is needed for firefox so...

opera works flawlessly with the test packages (page5). copy the npqtplugin.dll to progfiles/opera8beta3/program/plugins and there you go.

now gotta find a realmedia stream to test that too

[eben]

realmedia doenst load anything in opera.

and it makes firefox crash (only tested real, don't know about quicktime)

[eben]

btw: using ff plugins for opera also provided by titty2k. (opera uses netscape4 plugin architecture, just like ff does... makes sense to me since ff is one silly, bad opera clone)
