That page listed default plugins and a link to a list of other plugins 
including Adobe PDF, Adobe Flash, Shockwave Flash, Realplayer, Windows 
Media Player. Did you download and install the last two of these?  How do 
you set them up to interact with mplayer?  It looks like you actually have 
to download the Realplayer11 plugin, which is probably quite large.

You mention Realplayer 9.

Following a link to linux got me to Realplayer 10 and an mplayer plugin 
which you are supposed to download and compile.  (The Java plugin section 
says to install java).
