Hi Mark,
I'm running Debian Lenny. No joy using mplayer plug-ins on FF. These work
with just about everything else. The plugin just went into an endless loop.
Running mplayer from the commandline gave me this:

I managed to see the advert using vlc but that's all it showed and then
stopped (I fed it the url I got back copying it from the mplayer plugin.
Bloody doubleclick!
Cheers,
