Description Christopher Yeleighton 2010-12-13 12:40:31 UTC 
Version:           2.14 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Ark deletes the temporary file after handing it to the plug-in.  The MPlayer plug-in refuses to work in such a setting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. 
Tell Ark to open the album "Once Nomadic" [1].

  2. 
Tell Ark to preview the file kahvi297a_speaK-I_love_it_here.ogg

  3. 
Tell the plug-in to copy the URL.  Examine the URL.

Actual Results:  
  2. 
The MPlayer plug-in loads into the Ark preview window but it is unable to load the music.

  3. 
The file [2] does not exist.

Expected Results:  
  2.
The MPlayer plug-in should be able to play the music all right.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc

And neither does it work with KHTMLPart for viewing archived manual pages (file.1).  Or rather sometimes it does, sometimes it does not (it looks like a race condition).
