[gst-devel] GStreamer as Mozilla plugin

[Laurent Lacaze]

hello,

I work with Mozilla and I am very interesting by your plugin !
To bypass the writing of a plugin I customized the gstmediaplay
as an extern-app of Mozilla to play mp3, but a plugin is better.

Then, if you need help, there is no problem.

To solve your second problem, you should check if your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ok
to find all the libraries needed by Gstreamer.
