Copying as root not adequate for streaming video

To be more precise, to get a firefox plugin to work, it has to be installed by tazpkg in root mode. That's why flash-plugin works fine, and xine-plugin without tazpkg installation gives slow-motion video. You can demonstrate this also by getting flash-plugin.tazpkg, unpacking it, changing the flash plugin from /usr/share/xine to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, then repacking it manually, and passing it to tazpkg to install.

Re: Copying as root not adequate for streaming video

Here is the corrected installation line for 'receipt' in xine-plugin-1.0.2.tazpkg:

# Pre and post install commands for Tazpkg.

post_install()

{

        cp -a /usr/share/xine/* $1/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

}

If you reconstruct xine*.tazpkg with the above change, doing 'tazpkg install *.tazpkg' from a root terminal succeeds and the problem of no video or slow video goes away.
