Item11358: Embedding an mpg uses the default template, which produces html that doesn't work.

Embedding mpg movies using MediaPlugin does not produce a playable movie.

In Opera you see a "Plug-in not available" placeholder but with no plug-in to install. In Firefox nothing is seen at all.

The html source shows an object tag with no metadata, and a number of child param tags including one called "type" with "video/mpeg" as the content.

Fix

In templates/mediaplugin.tmpl changing the "syntax:object_attributes_only" label to "syntax:object_attributes" changes the generated html to include "classid" and a "pluginpath" metadata to the object tag, amongst other things. The movie is then playable in both Opera and Firefox.

Given that the latest release notes mention changes to the template, I assume this bug was introduced in 1.3.4
