Hi; I have embarked on figuring out how video etc. should work. Up to now I just followed what I was told and banged random keys until it worked. I got Firefox to use mplayer that way. I now want to take the time to figure out what I am doing and I need some stupidity help? For example; Firefox seems to grab video players, totem, mplayer, realplayer etc. at random as plugins. I can't find anywhere that sets up which plugin to use ??. Gstreamer talks about plugins for its use but doesn't indicate what plugs in where? There are no -- at least I can't find -- man pages for gstreamer or its many variations (gst-inspect, gst-launch etc.)? What is and how do I use the ~/.gstreamer-0.10/?? Fedora includes totem and gstreamer as part of its base install yet everybody seems to be throwing it away and running something else. That may be an easy solution but I would like to get both of them going. And understand why. There is lots to read but I am still at the greek stage of understanding. -- Regards Bill
