Missing Plugins On Tagworld.com


Recommended Posts

Hey gang! I was just wondering (again). In order for me to listen to music or hear my notification alerts on TagWorld.com, it says "Additional Plugins Are Required To Display All The Media On This Page, Install Missing Plugins". How do I do this? I received help a while back when I had the same problem with another site but I forgot what to do. I appreciate your help if there's any available.

if you are using firefox, a tag at the top of the page, if you click that you will get a option to install the plug in, but it all depends what plug in it is asking for?

you mentioned in your PM that you use ubuntu. I would reccomend automatix, it will install most of your commonly used plugins and other goodies. Below is a link, if you have questions about installation, post them here, I or someone else will be able to walk you thru it :-)

http://www.getautomatix.com/index.php?opti...ge&Itemid=1

this below seems like the easiest way to install, just enter these three commands into a terminal, one after another

wget http://www.getautomatix.com/files/automatix-installer
chmod +x automatix-installer
./automatix-installer

then after it has installed, you can run the program by typing the following command into the terminal

automatix

you may have to type in your password several times as the script is run. It gives you the choice to install all kinds of cool stuff: dvd support, audio and video codecs, flash support, java support, mplayer and ff support(plays video clips from websites), plus many other cool programs.

I just ran it on my ubunutu virtual machine, it worked really smoothe. I am impressed.

I was able to find the Automatix program thru my applications with no problem. However, it wasn't clear as to which plugins to check off on the list. I chose Multimedia codecs (as a wild guess) but now when I go to my TagWorld.com site there's that annoying yellow bar across the top that still says "Additional Plugins Are Required To Display All The Media On This Page, Install Missing Plugins" and I'd never seen that on my page before until tonight when I unpackaged that Mulitmedia codecs thingie and it's making the page run a little slower. I might've checked off the wrong plugin or I did't choose enough. Could some one please tell me what to do here? Thx.

I would reccomend checking the folowing items, you will probably use most of them:

AUD-DVD codecs

Flash Player (this one is needed for tagworld)

Mplayer and FF plugin

Media Players

Multimedia Codecs

SUN JAVAv 1.5JRE

nVidia Driver (choose this only if you have an nvidia video card installled)

I just did everything you advised me to do and while watching the unpackaging of the programs in the Auto Script Box everything seems to be going ok unil these error messeges pop up in the Automatix download box.

RealPlayer

Audio And DVD codecs

Sun Java JRE 1.5

"Could NOT be downloaded please try again later". Later came around and I tried it again but still got the same thing. Then at the end of the installation it says "All selected installation and configuration complete" How could it be complete if the three main components could not be downloaded? I'm so confused right now it's crazy. :rolleyes:

And that annoying yellow bar across the top that still says "Additional Plugins Are Required To Display All The Media On This Page, Install Missing Plugins" . It's driving me nuts because it's making my page real slow.

Yes I installed the Mplayer and FF plugin. And yes I'm getting the missing plugin message as soon as I go to TagWorlds homepage. :( .. Where do I find the mozilla-mplayer and w32codecs and how do I install them because I don't see them on the Automatix screen?

Yes I did. and it's still not working correctly.

Can you link to some specific pages? The audio I tried worked fine, but I didn't navigate the site much. I suspect the content you want is written in flash 9 which wont be out for linux until early 2007 (as of now), bu at least it is coming.

From that error it could be just a typo, you dont have a space between mozilla-mplayer and w32codecs. Can you post your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)?

cant he use synaptic to do this??

Probably, I tend to use a terminal to install and forget there are semi-decent gui tools to do it aswell.

@Mychal007

There may be an error in your sources.list can you post it?

Yep. Also, he can go into his synaptic preferences and add repos like universe and multiverse which will have more software.

And how do I do this?.. As you all know I have no idea unless you tell me step by step. and Oh..BTW.. I'm a girl.. it's pronounced My-Kal..lol
