Consider www/plugger-plugins-hubbe instead of www/plugger,
you'll have to do less configuration. Also www/mplayer-plugin
often helps.

Still, I haven't figured out how to watch webcasts from some
stupid sites that try to detect whether you have WMP
installed. Has anyone been able to play videos from cnn.com
for example? (Lately, I mean. They've switched from pay-
per-month realmedia to free wmv)
