Sure you would see it. This jsut indicates the the plugin started a
subprocess where it normally calls the mplayer.sh. The next thing you
should see is a log line from the script, which is not happening, hence
the plugin cannot find (or maybe execute?) the script.

This definetely needed, but even without it one should see the script
running in the logs.
