[MPlayer-dev-eng] Re: Mozilla Plugin

[Andrew Docherty]

After having a look at the options, plugger (which i could never get to work
with mozilla) and mozstreamer which I could never compile, I would like
to see the following in an mplayer plugin:

* ability to play embedded media player files (asx asf)
	(as mplayer does this already it only requires passing
	the correct window and src info to mplayer)
* minimal gui components, initially play, pause, stop and a progress
 	bar.
* XPCOM components to enable script interaction with the plugin
	(compatible with media player)
* Interactive stream download (ala quicktime) so the stream can be
	progressivly saved and replayed.

I plan to do use the existing gui implementation get embedded and
mplayer output and minimal buttons running. The other points can
wait for that to be acheived.
