Apparently, wmv videos work ok. It asks to open the videos with totem.

The problem is with quicktime. It displays a "click to download plugin" message in epiphany. Firefox works ok.

this is probably a problem with epiphany's mime-types. mplayer-plugin uses mozilla's mime database per default as of version 3.17-2 where it first came with a config file. my guess is that it is simply bypassed by epiphany which has totem associated with it automaticly.

try to unset the corresponding mime-types if possible and see if that helps.

mplayer-plugin links to a ton of libraries it can't resolve when running from within epiphany or any other embedded xulrunner application. Removing the libraries from LDFLAGS in the mplayerplug-in source fixes the package, it works in konqueror also then.

Will fix this later tonight.
