Just installed Fedora 13 and was getting a "Get QuickTime" prompt when trying to view trailers at www.apple.com/trailers:
The Fix:
yum install gecko-mediaplayer mozilla-vlc
Caveats:
Works with Firefox.
Google Chrome, although it looks at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins doesn't pickup and use the Gecko MPlayer plugins for some reason.
Update: Google Chrome (version 5.0.375.55) Seems to work for me now... Here is my plugin list I have added VLC recently and it's seems to be using Totem. But the video controls don't show when you do a mouseover on the lower part of the video screen.
Google Chrome Totem Plugin that mostly works for Apple.com
List of all plugins in Google Chrome...
On my machine which is an old P4 I have to adjust the audio volume down a little in order for the sound to start playing. I also have to right click in an area of the screen to start displaying the video.
My current F13 plugins list:
ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so libtotem-cone-plugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
libflashplayer.so libvlcplugin.so
libjavaplugin.so
Google Chrome Apple.com Trailers Missing Video Controls
Mozilla Firefox Apple.com Trailers Show Video Controls
Same here, I can actually watch the video in firefox (3.6, mandriva 2010, gecko media player 0.9.9.2), but chrome doesn't show the controls, nor does it play, even though the about:plugins are there (chrome 11). Stumped.
