Michael,

No, I didn't add the mimetype as I'm not sure it is of any real benefit.
On Firefox you can get a list of the active plugins with the
navigator.plug-ins array

Example of its use

<html>
<script>

function listplugins() {
	
    if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins.length > 0) {
	var pluginsArrayLength = navigator.plugins.length;
	// for each plugin...
	for (pluginsArrayCounter=0; pluginsArrayCounter < pluginsArrayLength;
pluginsArrayCounter++ ) {

		document.writeln(navigator.plugins[pluginsArrayCounter].name);
		document.writeln("<br>");
		document.writeln(navigator.plugins[pluginsArrayCounter].description);
		document.writeln("<br><br>");

	}
    }
    return pluginFound;

}

</script>
<body onload='listplugins();'>
Testing
</body>
</html>

That should be more than sufficient to detect mplayerplug-in
