problems with mplayer plug in [CIRCUMVENTED]

[nighty]

hi there,
the plugin loads, i can hear the sound of the video yet there is no video output.

any ideas?

This happens to me when I go to another tab in firefox while the video is loading. Changing tabs back-and-forth, or right-clicking and selecting 'play' often gets the image to reappear. It almost looks like firefox's background gets layered ontop of mplayerplugin. I don't know if this is the same as what you are discribing though. Does this also happen when you wait for the movie to load, without switching away?
(I'm assuming that's what you are doing, as the plugin seems to otherwise work fine)

thanks, this actually solved my problem. i guess its the very same error. just right clicking on the image and choosing some of the options made it come back.

i hope this plugin gets polished anytime soon.
