Hi Folks.

Anyone else having this issue?  When I try to use the mozilla-mplayer
plugin to play a video (say off the http://www.cbc.ca/news frontpage)
the video never plays and mplayer pops up in a separate window - it is
not embedded like it used to be.

Any video I try to play from a webpage with the mozilla-mplayer plugin
exhibits this behaviour.

This started happening for me when I upgraded from Feisty, it happens on
all my machines.  It happens on fresh installs of Ubuntu/Firefox and
mozilla-mplayer plugin.

I've tried the mozilla vlc plugin (sucks, doesn't play reliably and when
it does there are no video controls even though the hotkeys are
recognized and the OSD recognizes that I pressed ffwd or pause for
example), totem-mozilla (doesn't play the CBC videos at all it seems,
even on a fresh install although this used to work), and the
xine-plugin.  Xine-plugin works the best - the videos actually play but
I don't have any video controls (like pause for example) which I always
find useful.
