You will need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5.0. If you are using a Macintosh, you will need Mac OS 10.4 at the minimum. It has been tested on Linux (Fedora 4), Mac OS X (10.4.7) and Windows (XP). --------- -- Voytek ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 06:46:59 +0100 From: Kris Steenhaut Subject: Re: java/2 versions ?

It works fairly well and better than any that I have tried to install in Linux as it's a problem getting and installing the decoder for wmv files in Linux. All my wmv files play OK with Mplayer. However it would be good if it had a GUI as the command line is a bit of a pain.

I have searched through the Preferences in Mozilla and can't identify what might be similar. The instructions are below. I presume there is a Mozilla equivalent.
