If I load and play a long (2 hr) DIVX movie in the browser using the mplayer-mozilla plugin, the player stops playing after a period of time and resets itself, losing the loaded video buffer, so that the movie needs to be re-downloaded.

Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Environment: Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10 Firefox 3.5.8 mplayer-mozilla player
