Public bug reported:
Updated to 8.04 from 7.10. Had Firefox 2 working with mplayer and
codecs to view video news clips. After update, which included Firefox 3
Beta 5, the mplayer would only play the sound. Checked the add-ons, and
finally disabled all related to video. Tried playing video again, and
was asked whether to use mplayer as default. Responded yes, at which
point I was told that the correct codec was missing. Allowed Update
Manager to get missing codecs, and mplayer was able to play video with
no problem.
Seems there is a problem if the plug-in comes preinstalled and the
codecs are not available. No error is given, and no solution proposed.
