I recently installed the remi firefox2 on my FC4 machine, It works

frusatrating me.

If I go to to www.npr.org I can play the program stream which plays with
mplayer. But if I try to play one of the npr program audio streams
mplayer opens and processes the audio input but no continuous sound
comes out. Just instants of sound from time to time. Other radio music
stations play but not npr.

I really want to play the audio stream with realplay but when I feed the
strea, of realplay it complains of a missing audio type,
Any ideas.

I've just tried it, and it seems to want to use WM. This works ok as I have
Mplayerplugin installed.

freviously I have chosen to usw WM to play npr and it has worked. But
now it only works on the program stream not the stream drom a particular
program. This is an FC4 machine. On my FC6 machine both streams work but
it uses realplayer, So I am frustrated. But what is new about that. I
have a DSL line so the dialup problem is not my problem.
I'm only on dialup, but the hourly newscast plays ok, and so does the NPR
Program Stream.

I've been on sites that give you the choice of Realplayer, or Wm. Sometimes
one works , and the other doesn't.

I think you just have to go with the one that works. For me, as long as I can
hear some speech, or some music, I couldn't care less if it's using
Realplayer, Windows media player, Flash, or whatever.

Saying that though, I've just tried to play music from the site, and as I've
said. I am on dialup, and am just getting 1 or 2 seconds of music at a time,
followed by some buffering, then a bit more music.

Too much bandwidth needed for the music, but speech works ok.

Nigel.
