Mplayer- if I chose play url gives an error message of some failure or other.
I have several other thiings, but first lets see if got answers or not...

If you have the java.uci mounted than all you need to do is create a symbolic link to the plugin.

ln -sf /opt/jre1_5_0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /opt/.firefox_plugins/

restart firefox and you should have java support

As for mplayer you'll probably have to load the plugin into the same firefox_plugins directory although I don't use that plugin so I can't help you there.

go to this page for plugin help:

I didn't notice that the mplayer plugins have been made into a dsl package. Get it here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....-in.dsl

It puts the plugins right in your /opt/.firefox_plugins/ directory.
