mjpeg playback possible?

Greetings everyone.

My company is working on an embedded device that will, among other
things, make certain IP cameras available for viewing using firefox.
Currently we are only supporting MJPEG streams.

We have found that when playing these streams in firefox with this
limited hardware, performance suffers greatly.  However, when using
mplayer from the command line like so:

mplayer -demuxer lavf http://<camera ip>/mjpg/video.mjpg

Performance is substantially better.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to open a MJPEG stream with
mplayerplug-in?  As far as I can tell this is not possible, since the
stream is essentially just jpeg images, and clearly we don't want to
associate all jpeg images with mplayerplug-in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
