VLC was being so difficult we took a crack at getting mplayer going. It is coming along okay, but I’m running into issues with visibility of the js api (same as we had with VLC actually). I’ve got a testcase up in a simple HTML page. I can see the API but calling it only forces a reload of the page. Check out bug 274 to see the current status.

In other news, the work mig has been doing to get metadata to show up is working on linux and there is finally metadata for the local tracks.
