Firefox does not recognize rtsp


Recommended Posts

For playing Real player formats I use MPC with the real alternative plug-in...If I klick on a link to a media stream with the ".rtsp" format I get the warning shown in the picture. But if I copy the address of the link into MPC it plays the stream....How and where should I set Firefox to recognize the extension and play the stream automatically in MPC?

thanks in advance....

Unfortunately, MPC doesn't have an option to register that protocol so it has to be done manually. Merge this into your registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp]
@="URL:RealTime Streaming Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rtsp\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Media Player Classic\\mplayerc.exe\" \"%1\""

Make sure the path to MPC matches the location on your system.

I guess I have to use registry editor to merge it.(I'm asking just because I never used it before, so I have little experience but I guess it's not so complicated)...Anyway, Thanks

copy & paste it into notepad. save as whatever.reg, then double click the file.

Thanks a bunch....

But shouldn't I save the two registry changes as separate .reg files? And apply them one after the other?

Makes no difference. It should work either way.
