Media Plugins in Linux

Hi, I've just installed Flock on Ubuntu Linux 7.10, where I was previously using Firefox. I'm having trouble getting the Totem media plugin installed (it worked perfectly on Firefox).

Flock seems to have automatically detected the libflashplayer.so and libjavaplugin_oji.so plugins automatically, without them needing to be copied to the plugins folder. The only file in the plugins folder when I started was libnullplugin.so. These three plugins are the only ones displayed in about:plugins.

I have copied all of the files from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins to my ~/.Flock/plugins folder, but with no success. The about:plugins page has not changed and media requiring totem says I need to install a plugin then sends me to windows media player. I have restarted flock and also my computer. Help?!
