Hello and thank you for all the great assistance you provide through this forum.
I am having a strange problem with mplayer plug-in (N810 - 5.2008.43-7) for which I cannot find a solution despite having googled the issue to death!
I am finding mplayer plug-in very problematic on many sites, so I have decided to uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, I get a popup saying 'unable to uninstall mplyer plug-in' with no reason whatsoever. When I try to uninstall mplayer itself, I get a 'cannot uninstall because of dependencies...' with the dependency being mplayer plug-in! a vicious cycle indeed.
Even when I disable the mplayer plug-in component in the browser, it still remains active and shows up on media sites. This appears to be the plug-in from hell even though I love mplayer itself.
Is there a way to deal with this short of reflashing? I know how to get to root in the command line.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
