I've been trying a few things but just can't get mozilla (unstable) to
view the videos (realaudio plugin?)

Any clues any body??

Thanks, Michael



Oddly enough, even with realplayer installed, I tell it I want realplayer
and it
tells me it can't find a realplay or hxplay in the system search path (it
being iceweasel).

But if I tell it Windows media, up pops mozilla-mplayer plugin and all is
well.

It seems that abcnews videos play now. They wouldn't before - but I'm just
checking this
new beta i-caught service on ABC news and those videos seem to play.

On the realplay issue specifically, I got some error messages from the
player when I tried the
OP's bbc web content with the "realplay" option, stuff about ignoring an
unknown attribute and
seeing data after a newline so it is probably confused about something.
That's not very helpful,
and it's difficult for me to copy the terminal output and paste it in
iceweasel/gmail - the $*$*
editor thing highlights all my entered text and when I try and paste I lose
everything I typed.. it's
irritating.. ;(
