Are there any tutorials out there that teach someone with no experience setting mime types, or any other types in a browser, such as OWB, and otherwise tie in external programs like mplayer and others to play different content that is often found on the Internet, but is not already supported in OWB itself?
No tutorial, but it's not supposed to be very hard to configure either. Example: an asx URL.
- You would need to add a new mimetype matching asx: video/x-ms-asx. Good servers/sites send the mimetype correctly as video/x-ms-asx in which case no extension matching is needed. If they don't, then you would also add "asx" to the extensions field to make sure there's a way to know that a .asx URL is related to that mimetype entry.
-Below, you choose the action type, which would be in that case "external viewer" (or "ask" if you still want to be able to display it in browser, in case it would be a false positive).
- Finally you just need to pass the path/options to mplayer: path:to/mplayer -gui 1 -playlist
and %l in the last string, to indicate the URL to pass to mplayer.

The new OWB Flash plug-in is great news, but limited and as described in the notes, cannot play clips like those found on YouTube yet.
If you read the youtube note in the readme, then you'll see it *can* play them (no comment about the speed, though it's not far from real time on mini with the adequate options).
