Thks for the straightforward answer. It's a pity Freshrpms (my 3rd party
repo of choice) and ATrpms can't mix, but I understand your POV and the
problems involved, and I know it's not really your or Axel's fault. I've
raised this issue on ATrpms ML as well, and Axel made some comments there,
maybe it would be worth a look:

Anyway, I can confirm mplayerplug-in 3.55 (which ATrpms is already
providing) fixes the issue with Apple trailers site.

Regards,

Andre
