You know, Ric, you kept talking about it, and
mplayer/mplayerplug-in kept flaking out on me - it would work for
a good while, and then, it would just quit - so I tried your
suggested extension - it does seem to work well. No long delay on
the CNN site, which has become my metric - that seems to be one
of the harder ones -
I have a question tho - when I click on a CNN video link, I now
get three windows popping up in order to get the video - there's
the video play window, there's the second video play window that
appears when you click on the arrow, and there's an error
message "Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6:" followed by a URL -
I tried removing mplayerplug-in but that just leads me back to
the old "Can't detect Windows Media Player present error dialog"
so I reinstalled mplayerplug-in. I can live with the two popup
windows to get snappy video playback, but are you also getting
that mysterious message about AF_INET6?
