After installing the new mplayer-plugin package with pacman -Syu I visited a review on arstechnica.com and a video failed to load. I have visited several other sites since then; none of the videos will load.
This task depends upon

is this somewhat related to 3593?

That's my guess too :)

It's working for me. I was able to view the low resolution Cars trailer at apple.com/trailers (scroll down past the HD section). The HD videos however will not display. mplayer itself won't play them. It's opening the audio decoder (faad), then "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec"

i have upgraded mplayer-plugin due to  FS#3271 . i also tried hd videos from apple.com which were available on the page Eugenia mentioned. could you try those please?

I have found that in my case this is because I am running firefox-1.5 Downgrading solved it, but downgrading mplayer-plugin did not do the trick for me.

it's strange, i tried mplayer-plugin both with firefox 1.0.7 in a plain current+extra system plus with firefox-1.5 with testing enabled an fully upgraded. in both cases it seems to work except for the "Save as" option which on the other hand looks like an mplayer-plugin issue.
