[Mplayerplug-in-devel] MPlayerplug-in bug

[Alex B. <ale...@at...>]

Hi, I'd just like to point out a not so serious bug in mplayerplug-in. 
If you run your browser as root (not usually a good idea, but it
happens) and while browsing as root you view a video, the log files in
/tmp have root as their owner.  As it should be.  However, if you then
close your browser and open it as a normal user, when the plugin tries
to initialize it will crash the browser.  This is because it is trying
to erase/write to the log files that it does not have privileges to
access.  Simply rm'ing the files as root and then running the browser as
a normal user solves the problem but it's a hassle.  This isn't a huge
deal, but it's something to be aware of.
