sure...but my FireFox is not even registering the Plug-in...it's not an
issue of it appears to work, but doesn't...it's missing the plugin (even
though, according to all /plug-in directories - it should work?!)

when I enter the URL 'about:plugins' into my FireFox...the MPlayer Plugin
is no where to be found?....but:

linux-8eax:~ # rpm -qa | grep mplayer
mplayerplug-in-3.25-0.pm.7

> Yeah, use "ldd" on Firefox, MPlayer and MPlayer Plug-in.
> They must _all_ be x86-64 to work.
> And even then, things might break.

linux-8eax:~ # which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
linux-8eax:~ # ldd /usr/bin/firefox
        not a dynamic executable

linux-8eax:~ # which mplayer
/usr/bin/mplayer
linux-8eax:~ # ldd /usr/bin/mplayer
  (most are /usr/lib64 or /lib64)

linux-8eax:~ # find / -name "mplayerplug-in.so" -print
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
/home/dsimmons/.firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
/home/dsimmons/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
/home/dsimmons/.mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
linux-8eax:~ # ldd /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
   (they point to a lib64 directory - as do the rest)

It's gotta be something OBVIOUS but I'm missing...

Again...as usual...thanks, mucho, in advance - dave
