Hi all.
Sorry for the cross-mailings, but I figure all three parties would be
interested in this: How I got mozilla and plugger to run mplayer under
FreeBSD, all natively, for various multimedia hyperlinks.
First, the formalities:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD sheol.localdomain 4.5-RELEASE-p23 FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p23 #1: Mon Dec 30 07:10:31 CST 2002 root@sheol.localdomain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SHEOL i386
Mozilla'a About window:

$ mplayer --help
MPlayer 0.90rc2-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS)
CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Stepping: 6)
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE
Mozilla and plugger (version 4.0) were built from the ports collections.
Mplayer was built from their RC2 tarball.
Here's the real scoop, relevant portions of /usr/X11R6/etc/pluggerrc:

The "nokill" flag is required for some video files. I don't know if mplayer
is forking, execing or whatever, nor do I know if plugger is killing 'em
off and restarting 'em, but a lot of experimentation shows the above to work
most predictably. However, this also means that plugger may leave mplayer
processes littering the field (as noted in mplayer-users@). Therefore, this
quick hack; not the best, but the easiest and surest:

if [ "$DEBUG_CORE_FILES" ]
then
if [ -f core ]
I'm not certain all this is 100% correct, but it's working for me, and
p'raps it'll help someone else. Now then, on to RealAudio...
