Dunno if this helps, I'm a newbie.

I only use mplayer (Linux RedHat RHEL 3, Mozilla 1.4.1, Gnome 2 on a
Compaq Presario laptop!) to avoid having to boot f¤&!# Windows XP just
to see my favorite 20-minute news program every weekday. I compiled
(*CVS*, important) mplayer, gmplayer - and mplayer plugin for Mozilla.

The mplayer plugin (for me it goes into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin) does
what you want, if you have a broadband  connection (get it from
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/index.html, there's a HOWTO there
too). I have a 56k2 modem connection, and the plugin as supplied is
useless - doesn't respect all the mplayer parameters and no-one on this
list seems to care or know anything about it. Though while it's running,
you can go to a command line and see how it's calling mplayer (ps -efw |
grep mplayer) and with what parameters, so you can copy these to some
text file somewhere. It has a config file (using the *compiled
sourcecode, not the rpm or apt or whatever*, which probably go to /etc)
/usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf or
~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf and you can put what's in the HOWTO -
nothing else - into that. But the rest that you want, you can put into
/usr/local/etc/mplayer/config or ~/.mplayer/config - including bandwidth
and player display axes.

Now everything works as I want - and does what you want ;) My two config
files are below (keep in mind that if you use the gmplayer GUI, you'll
have to have a lot more in config for the GUI). Neither has anything to
do with mplayer.conf.

HTH,
