gxine comes with a mozilla plugin that launches an external copy of gxine. Kaffeine has a working plugin for at least Konqueror. However, all xine-based players offer suboptimal sound quality (crackling very noticeable if the sampling rate is below 32 kHz but existing at all rates not equal to 48 kHz, see http://bugs.debian.org/396881), so I avoid them. I have not tried mplayerplug-in. The NoScript extension has a setting that places a clickable "block" tab near all active elements (including videos). This tab is also right-clickable, so one can copy-and paste the media URL into an external player - that's what I use now. Of course, the same URL is available without any extensions, in the Page Information box, on the Multimedia tab. -- Alexander E.
