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.

Run a root terminal and type

Thank you for the reply Bundyo. I just executed the command you recommended and this came back:

(Reading database ... 17968 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mplayerplug-in ...

Thanks again for your time.

Type (as root) "rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/mplayerplug-in.postrm" and try again.

Many thanks to both of you as you saved me a reflash. qwerty12, I ran your command followed by Bundyo's and all is well in Nokiaville again : )
Since you guys are the masters, I am emboldened to ask you if there is indeed a stable multimedia plug-in which is a kind of cure-all for the N810 that you would recommend. I am very happy with Canola2 for local files, so my main interest is a web solution for the browser.
Cheers

Darveesh:

If I understand what you are asking for, have you looked at www.orb.com?

Of course, if you meant as a plug-in for your existing browser, this would not be the case.

Thanks for the reply coosbaytv. I actually meant a plug-in for the microbrowser on the N810 to handle the media on various websites.
That said, however, I love the link you provided and will be utilizing it immediately given its amazing capabilities.
Thanks again for your time.

Sorry, there are no other media plugins available. Even for desktop linux, mplayerplug-in handles streams best IMHO (but not good enough ).

Thanks for the reply Bundyo. I was afraid that was the answer, but wanted to make sure by hearing it directly from you guys!
Cheers
