The initial browser request doesn't affect the apple trailers, only the mplayer-plugin request is checked for user-agent.  When I set mplayerplug-in.conf as follows, the apple trailers work:

user-agent=QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)

So if the player itself could be configured to send different user-agent strings on a per domain basis then it will be easy to fix if domains require specific user-agent strings. (e.g. apple.com)
