Dear Moiristo,
I'm more than willing to copy the videolan.dll to '/Plugins/ExternalPlayers' in the MP folder....but there is no zip from the videolan website and there is no file called videolan.dll...

And what is this all about. To me, it only raises questions:

You say there is already a default videolan plugin in the MP installation. Where can I find and install that plugin?
You say it's the same as the Mplayer plugin. So why is this plugin made?
It's not clear what "HERE" is and when one has to use it...Is it a replacement for the download from the videolan.org website?

Maybe you can make the opening post more workable and understandable for morons like myself

I've never used an external player, so excuse me for the following (probeably to most users) obvious questions:
How does fast forward/rewind work?
Are the skip steps still available with this plugin?
It is possible to use this plugin for just one file format, right?
Is it possible to resume from where you left, like with partly watched recordings? And is this also the case for webstreams?
