Hey Roger,
Yes, I have w32codecs, also libavcodecs(think that's
right) and maybe some others. Sorry, I overlooked it
on last reply.
Re: mplayerplug-in and mozilla-mplayer. I am aware
that mozilla-mplayer(kubuntu 3.17) provides the
plugin. I had it installed but mozilla didn't play the
embeds. A user, maybe you as I'm all confused over
this issue, said he could play the embeds with mozilla
using gxineplugin so I rmed mozilla-mplayer and
installed qxineplugin which didn't work for me and it
was in the about plugins list. Kevin DeKortes, of
mplayer-plugin-develop fame, suggested I remove
mozilla-mplayer and install mplayerplug-in which is
not in Kubuntu distro mirrors as far as I can tell. I
did find an rpm googling,
mplayerplug-in-3.30-fc5.i386.rpm and converted it to a
deb with wajig rpmtodeb, and installed it with dpkg
-i, but it doesn't show up in about plugins. I can run
the apt show or wajig list and it shows to be
installed but I can't find it with locate.
I will try to reinstall mozilla-mplayer eventually but
I want a newer version(had v3.25 before leaving Deb)
to reinstall and also want to get some feedback from
Kevin on just what he wants me to try. I did add a deb
mirror that should have gotten me a later version:
#Sid Debian Multimedia (packages, GPG key:
07DC563D1F41B907)
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main
Update gave no error for the mirror after adding the
key. However, apt search still shows v3.17, the
kubuntu  uptodate version. I'm not that familiar
adding the gpg key and may have an error.
so, that's were I stand. Of course, I'm very much open
to any suggestion you might have and will try them out
while waiting on Kevin.
Do appreciate your help,
