This is the wrong mailing this for this problem. mplayerplug-in and
mplayer are not the same project although they are related.

I would suggest that you upgrade to the current version of
mplayerplug-in (v 3.21). the version you are using 2.60 is nearly 2
years old and many features and bugs have been fixed during that period.
