I've recently started ripping my DVD collection onto a WD MyBook Live
network hard drive, and I threw together a simple php page to display the
contents of each folder.

The web server that displays the files is on my CentOS web server, which
access the video archives over NFS with a path like
"/net/wdmybook/tv/Chuck/season1/Chuck-1x01-Pilot.mkv".

A google search yielded some gnome settings that got firefox on my desktop
machine to launch mplayer to play the videos when I click on the link, but
it first downloads the entire video to a temp file and then launches
mplayer to play the temp file.

Is there any way I could set this up to skip the download and instead
launch mplayer so it will play from the
"/net/wdmybook/tv/Chuck/season1/Chuck-1x01-Pilot.mkv" path directly? If not
at the gnome level, then perhaps from php?
