Here is how I got divx files to playback in Iceweasel (Firefox) on my Knoppmyth box:

1. Install Iceweasel if you don't already have it:

Code:
apt-get install firefox


2. Install the Mozilla-Mplayer plug in:

Code:
apt-get install mozilla-mplayer


3. Add two symlinks to Iceweasel to enable plugins:

Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so

ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt


4. Edit the Mplayer plug in config:

Code:
nano /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf


5. Change and add the following options:

Code:
#cachesize=1000
#cache-percent=30
#download=0
#showlogo=0
#black-background=1


6. Start the browser (Type firefox in xterm) and go to the following website to test playback out:

http://www.stage6.com

7. Click the play button for the feature video on the front page and enjoy! Videos can be launched to full screen using the fullscreen button in the bottom right of the video.

Hello :)

I already have firefox installed, but I'm having a little trouble installing mplayer.

I ran 'apt-get install mozilla-mplayer' as root and it returned the following:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mozilla-mplayer: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.5-7 is to be installed
                   Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.10.12-3) but 2.8.20-7 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Did you run "apt-get update" before running "apt-get install mozilla-mplayer" ?

That is strange! I have succesfully installed this on two Knoppmyth boxes with Iceweasel / Firefox 2.02.

What version of Firefox do you have?

I just tried this independently and got the same problem as Gibble. I'm still on r5f1 and I thought that might be an issue but since Gibble is on r5f27 then I guess it isn't. I even got the same error messages and everything.

Thanks to all above. I added FLASH9 to my Mozilla.
Now I have a nice DVR for instant replay/pause and such and I can check the stats on sportscenter.com (there is a link to adobe.flash dload)
The installation folder for mozilla it asks for during the flash install is
Code:
/usr/lib/iceweasel

I also love the recommendation of stage6.com with divx videos. Insanely good quality (DVD & HD). Won't go back to youtube's poor quality again.

Be careful which release of the Flash 9 plugin you use. The latest, 9.0.115.0, gave me all kinds of problems on my workstation box. I ended up reverting to 9.0.48.0 to get everything working again. YMMV.

No joy...


Code:
root@mythtv:/home/mkaz# apt-get install iceweasel
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package iceweasel is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package iceweasel has no installation candidate

Hi,

Check the /etc/apt/sources.list first line is set to stable. Then re-run apt-get update.

I have had no trouble installing firefox (iceweasle) just last week on F27.
