When using Mozilla, if I follow a link to a video clip, I get Xine with the option (-q? Don't recall offhand) that closes Xine as soon as the video has completed playing. I find this annoying, and would like to remove this from the handler.

Where do I find this behavior specified? Is it a part of Mozilla's, my desktop's, or something else's config? Does Mozilla's helper application support get better in v1.1?
 
my guess would be in mozilla edit-preferences->helper applications, but I don't know for sure.

Now see, that's what I would have thought. Here's the problems I encountered, though.

First of all, in Mozilla (1.0, YMMV with other versions) none of the existing helper apps configurations are displayed on the first sheet. No problem, I created a new type, "video/mpeg". The application I provide is "xine -p". It should run xine, load the mpeg, and immediately play the mpeg. Unfortunately, this had no effect. ps revealed that xine is still invoked with the -q option.

Here's a question - is my new MIME type incorrectly configured or is my new MIME type completely ignored in favor of whatever comes preconfigured with Mozilla?

I am no MIME master - should I add multiple MIME types? Do mpeg movies fall under different MIME types?

Thanks for the reply - it's good to hear that I was pushing the right buttons. I'm still unable to get those buttons to do what I want.
