[MPlayer-users] Firefox & mplayerplugin "Stopped"

[Chuck]

I've upgraded to FF 1.5, reloaded mplayerplug-in-3.17-fc4.i386.rpm,
w32codec-1.0_20050412-12.at.i386.rpm, move to the proper subdir.
However when I go to CNN and try to play a video or do a local
avi file I get: a popup window, Buffing 0%, (a very fast) flash
of ...260%26usa%26752%2680901%266%26-%26-%26-%262..
something like that) and  "Stopped"

If I, from the command line, do > mplayer mymovie.avi
and a window pops up and plays mymovie.  It's just FF that won't
play it.  Ideas?

Thanks
