Reposting because need help and haven't gotten a response. Thanks for any help. Since the orig. post I have also copied all the mplayerplug-in-*.so files to my .mozilla/plugin dir including the totem and mozplugger plug-ins which got rid of the teal green double cross but the videos still wont play.
