mplayerplug-in not working in firefox

[Niran Babalola]

The best solution I've found for video in web pages in Linux thus far
is Totem embedded using mozplugger. I've never been able to control
the video playing before using this. If you want to try it, follow the
directions here[1]. The Totem developers are working on an actual
Mozilla plugin actively now, and seem to be making pretty good
progress according to Planet Gnome. If you're planning on using
development versions of Bendy, you'll probably be able to use it soon.
