Abrowser won't let me associate Gnome's mplayer with MP4 files

Whatever app is associated with Abrowser, whenever I try to open an MP4 video from an HTML file, Abroswer's app insists that the video file is corrupt.

However, when I save the video file to my Documents folder, Mplayer runs it just fine. So does *indows 7, for that matter.

But I've not found a way to associate GNOME's Mplayer with MP4 files in the Abrowser preferences.

I'm running Trisquel 7 on a ThinkPad T420.

Trisquel 7 is up-to-date with apt-get.

Use the "Applications" tab of Abrowser's "Preferences".

Here's what my "Applications" tab reveals:

Debian package ? Always ask
DOS/Windows executable ? Always ask
ircs ? Always ask
mailto (W) Use KMailService (default)
Podcast ? Preview in ABrowser
Portable Document Format (PDF) ? Preview in ABrowser
Video Podcast ? Preview in ABrowser
Web Feed ? Preview in ABrowser

Browsing thru installed applications:
.gconf
.gnome2
.gnome2_private
.gstreamer-0.10
.mplayer

None of these changes the outcome, and there's no "reload" button in ABrowser, yet if I start GNOME MPlayer from the list of applications in the Trisquel menu, the same video plays just fine.

I have "Video MPEG-4" in this "Applications" tab. That may be thanks to the "mozplugger" package (in Trisquel's repository). Installing it may solve your problem.

The Plug-ins and Add-ons menus aren't helping, either.

The "Mozplugger" app appeared OK after I used apt-get to install it, but that pesky "corrupt file" appears nevertheless when I try to view that nasty MV4 file by clicking on the link in my HTML file in ABrowser. Worse, "Video MPEG-4" is nowhere to be found.

Mozplugger didn't show up until after I used Synaptic Package Manager to remove mplayer-2 and replace it with mplayer. That was just a stab in the dark. Fortunately, I can reach the MV4 file by other means - download to the hard drive first, then apply GNOME MPlayer. Alas, now I see that GNOME MPlayer is messed up. I'll go back to mplayer-2, I guess, and see what transpires ...

Oops. I meant "MP4" of course.

GNOME MPlayer played my video at triple time with mplayer2 replaced by mplayer, so I uninstalled GNOME MPlayer and then reinstalled it.

At first, I thought that ABrowser didn't like a couple of MP4 files that I had edited. But now I see that is doesn't like _any_ of my MP4 files. Maybe a certain flag has been set ? Where might that flag be ?

Here's my Mozplugger's video configuration file; note that the second set of commands covers MPEG4 OK:

True, they cover MP4 OK, but by the look of it they invoke xine not mplayer... try changing it to mplayer as you intend.

At leny2010's suggestion, I altered MozPlugger's configuration file thusly:

cat 60-video.conf

But it appears that I haven't gone far enough in banishing xine ... as I still get that "corrupt file" message, even though the MP4 opens & plays OK with anything other than ABrowser.

Sorry no, I expected you to read man mozplugger and the existing /etc/mozpluggerrc . The line is

nokill noisy: MP_NOEMBED("$file")

And if you're loading the HTML file from disk then don't forget to specify a *relative* URL for the video file. Attached find an example html file which works with that Mozplugger setup on my machine.
