Sorry to be downer. But it don’t work in Firefox 3.5 Their demo video played once for me and that is the end of it. Non-functional after then. There was no sound and no full screen. Windows XP machine and all that. As a roll out it is reminiscent of Ubuntu including a non functional Network Manager for their netbook remix

Thank you for your reply. I’ll stick to wget & mplayer for now.

We’re generally a little slower than some of the players out there because we go through the web’s rendering infrastucture – i.e. being able to clip it through HTML, SVG, etc. We’re working on improving that performance so you’ll have to see in a later version if it’s going to be fast enough or not.

PPC. When I download the video with wget and play it with mplayer, it plays very smoothly.

Interesting – I had no such problems on my mini. PPC or Intel?

I have a Mac Mini, 1 Ghz CPU, 512 Mo RAM, and Firefox 3.5 plays those videos very slowly, making them unviewable.

With mplayer I can play any kind of videos, even DVDs, at normal speed with no problem. But the videos on openvideo.dailymotion.com, even with a small definition, won’t play normally.

Does the problem belong to Firefox or am I doing something wrong ?
