I have the same problem : viewing these videos with mplayer-plugin in
firefox leads to see connected or connecting to the server ... but no
videos. If i right click to the mplayer-plugin window and copy the url i
can go to a terminal and launch mplayer and copy the url and i can view
the video without any problem so i think the problem is related to the
mplayer-plugin.
