Streaming video in Kubuntu. arrrg!

[majkmil]

I am new to kubuntu but have been using ubuntu for a year now. I can't get video embeded in konqueror or firefox. I think I am using xine. I have mplayer installed but I can't find mozilla-plugin in the repositories. This is a new install of kubuntu on a ibook ppc. I used to have ubuntu with kubuntu-desktop installed on top of it. I could get video in ubuntu (firefox) and when I booted to kubuntu I had video in konqueror but with the fresh install a kubuntu I get no video. I know I can't get w32codecs for ppc but I should be able to view some web sites like Apple Trailers. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Mark

Is that for the plugin? Is ther anything else I need to install or configure. I installed automatix but when I try to run it it gives me the start screen and then nothing happens. Has anyone had this problem or know why it won't start. Thanks

Re: Streaming video in Kubuntu. arrrg!

i suggest you to install mplayer for firefox plugin :

sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer

or even more faster and easier you can try :

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/446/

and choose the video-reader..... (vlc, mplayer....)
