It should not require installation of additional plugins when the browser can play a video natively. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://blip.tv/file/2093960?filename=Pravi-FreeSoftwareAndTheMatrixByAlexandreOliva119.ogv# 2. Look for the embedded video 3. Actual Results: Displays 'click to download plugin' message, though the browser can play it natively. Expected Results: Play with native ogg player
The issue is that blip.tv is using an <embed> element for the video, which will only be handled by plugins. What they can do instead is to use the <object> element which will play video in Firefox and in other browsers with the right plugins (see bug 487398 comment 9).
