I have a working mplayer with gui enabled. I love it.

Now, I'm trying to get the mplayer plugin (http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/) for mozilla to work. My mplayer is version .91, and the plugin is version .80.

The mplayerplugin-conf file looks like this (in my ~/.mozilla dir):

vo=xv,x11
enable-gui=no

I have tried it with and without the noembed=1 option, gui=yes, gui=mini, as well as having no conf file at all. Every time, the plugin hangs with the message " Connecting to media source ..." and then crashes Mozilla.

Running mozilla from the term produces the following when accessing the plugin:

$ mozilla &

The plugin homepage includes tests for mplayer and gmplayer. Those work without a problem. However, the tests for the plugin do not work.

I think that covers all of it. If anyone has experience with this, please help.
