    rekonq and firefox wont play video stream?

    i have a linksys wireless webcam that i use as a security cam. even with wine, the monitor software wont work, but thankfully you can access the camera video via remote website (ie. ip address on the net of the camera) I can get to the camera fine via rekonq or firefix (tried chrome too) but none of them display the video. it should be simple java... it displays the page, all the options, but there just isnt a video stream or control buttons for the camera, they should be center of the screen. now, neither rekonq nor firefox prompt me to download any additional extenssions or whatever like IE did, so what am i missing?

    heres the page source if it helps anyone determin what i need to install to view it.

    Re: rekonq and firefox wont play video stream?

    Read this page to decide what you need but I installed the repository and the encrypted DVD files and non-native media format choose 32bit or 64..... this page is about playing media in web browser not sure it will help

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

    then look at plugins for your browers

      Yep, thanx Irishman (Irish way, Irish ruleZ? ) it helped me to play some videos, e.g. TV on the net etc.
      However, I've met a problem of playing .mov in Kubuntu 10.10. There is played just video but no music and I have tested many players

      [Maybe I'll create net thread with .mov question but I'm just curious if anyone met the same problem]
