Ok this should be fixed in CVS. The problem was this

There were 3 basically 3 items on the playlist. The link to doubleclick,
and image url and the video. When mplayer tried to request the url of
the image url it returned a 'No stream found' message and mplayerplug-in
thought that the error was terminal and so it shut down mplayer. So I
have disabled that check for now.
