Well, guys, I wish I could be of more help, but, in tests just now, I tried
all the examples just cited in this thread and they all work on my machine.
I've posted extensively on the list over the past months about problems with
mplayer/mplayerplug-in but, for now, I've got it all working, and working
quite well.

The following command results in:

$ rpm -qa | grep mplayer
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5
mplayerplug-in-3.31-1.lvn5
mplayer-1.0-0.46.pre8.lvn5
kmplayer-0.9.2-2.a.fc5

As you can see, all my packages are now the current ones from Livna with the
exception of kmplayer - kmplayer also works, I noticed the other day, though
I can't remember how I invoked it, though I'm guessing it was from within
Konqueror... I tried all the mime types on the
http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html page, including the ones from
Linspire, and also the link to the site in Australia

my settings are:
mplayerplug-in-3.31-1.lvn5
xmmplayer-0.3.3-5.lvn5
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5
mplayer-gui-1.0-0.46.pre8.lvn5
mplayer-1.0-0.46.pre8.lvn5

it works with clips at

but not with http://media.smh.com.au/?sy=smh&category=bulletin&rid=22122&source=smh.com.au%2F&t=24G8UJ&player=wm6&rate=354&flash=0&ie=0
