Same here too but it always stucks in something trying to play but
never happens.
After continuing the media player notice, it goes to the video and
there I can see the mplayer plugin working.

Connected

this goes on and on but I can't see a thing in my screen.

I have all the windows codecs installed. In normal movie palyback, I
can watch AVI, wmv, mp4 etc etc. without a problem. What could be
wrong??
