Sorry for the vague report, it was late, and I had been fighting with edgy for hours...
The problem was that after upgrading, and re-installing both mplayer and mozilla-mplayer plugin, neither of them would play video. I have since compiled mplayer from source and installed in properly. this now works as a standalone player, however for the life of me I can't get the plugin to work in firefox 2 I've tried installing from ubuntu repositories, and building myself. The build completes, but it won't work in firefox to play quicktime for example... this might be a problem with the 32 bit binayr win codecs, but I also run 32bit firefox and that won't work either... Maybe I have to build a 32bit mplayer plugin? Anyway, that's all the information I have. I realize that it doesn't help you much and am sorry. There are still problems with firefox and the plugins on 64bit - I was hoping that these would be solved a year after 64bit processors are available, but the sw houses just haven't come along yet. I know that this is not Ubunutu's task! I continue to support Ubuntu at all occaisions.
