This page is still a work in progress. It is here to point people at the pieces that tend to be missing on a Linux system.

Parcel Media with raw video (mp4 etc.)

The viewer needs gstreamer-0.10 to play Parcel Media without text/html successfully under Linux.

On 64 bit Linux systems the plugin also has to be installed as a 32 bit multilib.

Flash video

newer viewers with CEF

pepperflash is required.

older viewers with QtWebKit

here the Adobe version of the flashplayer plugin is required.

Depending on the viewer the 32 bit version is needed here too, which is awkward to set up on 64 bit systems because of the way it is wired in.
