:-(   Nope.  When I run mplayer from the command line (or ff) for 
something.avi  that works
but something.wmv  doesn't.  Missing a codec? or in the wrong place?  I 
have these:
/usr/local/lib/codecs/wmvdmod.dll
/usr/local/lib/codecs/wmvadvd.dll
/usr/local/lib/codecs/wmv9dmod.dll

My config is FC4, Firefox 1.5, mplayerplug-in-2.80-0.lvn.1.4.i386,
mplayer-1.0-0.lvn.0.30.pre7try2.4.i386.  Same results with kplayer.
HEY gmplayer works - pops up an Error! box (empty), buffers and
runs.  Hope that gives some ideas.
