Yes it does work, but mplayerplug-in has not been maintained for quite
some time. I would recommend you look into gecko-mediaplayer

Typically, you use the embed tag like this

<embed src=3D"rtsp://host/path" height=3D"320" width=3D"200" />

There is a whole website here:

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/index.php

Ubuntu 8.04 is very very old (5 yrs) and so I'm surprised you are
still using it. In some cases the totem-plugin may need to be removed
(probably a package just for that part).
