Opera Playground

I use mplayerplug-in 3.21, compiled for Opera on my Fedora Core 6, to view movies. It works fine, both with wmv and divx. Some have still troubles with its plugins, like bend tail who tried to test GNOME MPlayer and Gecko Media Player, but he couldn't install them on his Ubuntu Edgy, then he had to wait Ubuntu Feisty, to succeed to play movies with Linux Opera.

(The names of Edgy, Feisty, or something like that, the Ubuntu or Debian users use them so often. I don't know which is the latest or what's their differences. The Fedora users don't use Zod, Bordeaux, Stentz or Heidelberg, to call our distro. Those are the name of Fedora Core 6, 5, 4 and 3, respectively.)

Usual mplayerplug-in, complied for Opera, uses enable-x option, so naturally it doesn't offer visual buttons to control, like stop, fast forward and others. The advantage of GNOME MPlayer is that it has such controls, even with Opera. Other Japanese Fedora user succeeded to install and use it, so I will try them later.

In my case, it, as a browser plugins nor separate player, doesn't work. It gave me the below messages and Seg Fault.
