Known Issues:
- Mozilla do caching of plugin information in order to speed the program
loading. however xine-plugin capabilities (mime types) may change every
time xine-lib is updated. in order to make sure that mozilla cache
is up-to-date just erase the file ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat
- This software is still under development. If any crash/freeze problem is
experienced please try to load the URL manually on xine-ui to check if
it is a specific xine-plugin bug or on xine engine itself. bug reports
should be sent to xine developer's mailing list.
