link downloaded the latest source for mplayer plugins 3.55 and built the plugins.

1. Download the built plugins from http://mo-de.net/d/mplayerplug-in_3.55.zip
2. Install mplayer plugins if you have not yet.

a. aptitude install mozilla-mplayer

1. Uncompress the plugins itheir should be ten files.

Open this folder \usr\lib\mozilla\plugins and cros reference what files are in the compressed file I gave you. If it exists within the \usr\lib\mozilla\plugins Then move them to a different folder named backup.

1. Place the files from within mplayerplug-in₃.55.zip into \usr\lib\mozilla\plugins

[What I Did Wrong Initially]

Initially I would build the plugins then uninstall mozilla-plugins. Mozilla-plugins has dependencies that it installs. I totally did not bother to take that into consideration. Now that you install version 3.4 and replaced the plugins files the dependencies are taken care of and Debian thinks you have 3.4 install but you actually have version 3.55 plugins running the show. You will notice when you type “about-plugins” into the browser windows it will tell you, the plugins are version 3.4. This update works for Realplayer, Apple and Windows Media streams.

You can test the plugins at these locations.
