Your mplayerplugin files should be replaced every time you install an updated version of the mplayer package. If you have backlevel versions of those, they might cause problems. (On the other hand, some of them might not have been changed, however you never know. Best update 'em.) However, at least on the Mandriva that I've been using, those mplayer files don't often change between releases. The Java link has changed, but the flashplayer plugin location doesn't, even when that's updated. Here's what I've got in /usr/local/firefox/plugins : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-10-19 17:40 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 2010-10-19 17:35 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_22/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15716 2010-10-12 11:55 libnullplugin.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283484 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-dvx.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283484 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-gmp.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283484 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-qt.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283484 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-rm.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283480 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in.so* - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283484 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-wmp.so* - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1067 2010-04-03 16:44 mplayerplug-in.xpt - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 179552 2010-10-21 17:29 nppdf.so* When I update to a new release of firefox, I copy it all to ~./plugins then copy it back. My firefox browser and all these plugins work great. If Mandriva catches up (it has happened), then I just copy all that to the plugins directory under the official location and delete the local directory tree.
