Does anyone else have problems with playing video/audio files under
firefox with mplayer? Almost everything I try (the latest were some
.asf and .wmv clips) craps out under firefox, but if I save to disk
and play with mplayer, they work just fine.

CentOS 4.1 with latest updates and the following related to the problem.

mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.0.rf
mplayerplug-in-3.11-1.2.el4.rf
mplayer-1.0-0.17.pre7.2.el4.rf
firefox-1.0.6-1.4.2.centos4
