No info on FC4 but FC3 is fine for that site !
It can take a lllong time to start though - BBC slow ?
See below for details
Video from say
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/news/media/avdb/news_web/video/9012da68002ac70/bb/09012da68002adb9_16x9_bb.rm?title="BBC"&author=""©right="(C) British Broadcasting Corporation" also works

An aside
I also have centos41 on a machine and have just down loaded mplayerplug-
in. The site did not work until I copied over my /usr/lib/win32
directory from FC3 it now works OK
so there must be something in those dlls !!!!!
If I remember correctly there are extra dll's in there
in addition to those in all-20050412.tar.bz2
avisynth.dll found in AvisynthPackagerev2.00.zip
from videotools.net
This seems to be dependent on
avifil.dll,gdi32.dll and msacm32.dll from dll.yaroslavl.ru
Uppercase lower case problem here!!!!

It seemed a big struggle to get this working and I am
still not certain that all those dll's are required.
Any feedback welcome
