I cant seem to get the mplayer plugin working again. When I upgraded 
using synaptic the plugin stopped working and I havent been able to 
reinstall it using synaptic. kevin at kevinscomputer:~$ ls -l

So mplayer is here or back but its definietly not in about:plugins and I 
  do not any longer have the player on the gnome menu under video and 
sound.This is a regular amd 2100 xp 32 bit. At one time I thought I was 
doing right and tried to install the 32 bit for 64 bit systems but it 
would not of course as it said in terminal it was the wrong system type 
so I dont think I have it mucked up here.
