application/x-mplayer2 ?

Okay...I'm trying to play a video on a certain website on Safari on my MacBook, and I keep getting this error message that says that the page "has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."

What does this mean, and how can I get this application?

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Do you have the latest version of Flip4Mac or Real Player installed?
Have you tried to view in another browser? If the video works in another browser, then the problem is with Safari.

Which version of Safari are you using?

It would also help if you still have trouble, please provide a specific URL/link for people to look at.

It's okay now. I just went into the preferences and chose the MIME settings. Or maybe it's because I had that flip4Mac; i dunno, but it just worked now.

Thanks for your help, though 🙂
