Lately I've had troubles watching the clips on cnn.com. It's very
strange, when I select a video from the main cnn page, the clip starts,
plays a few frames (sometimes more sometimes less), then it stops and
the image goes blank.

Also, on www.dbfx.com there is a flash window that should display some
information (currency prices) in real time, but it doesn't, its all
blank to begin with.
I believe that is a java applet and not related to flash.


Does anybody have any clue what the problem might be? Other sites with
flash media work ok (e.g. youtube, google video). This is what I have:

[root@phoenix ~]# yum list | grep flash flash-plugin.i386
9.0.115.0-release installed
gallery2-flashvideo.noarch 2.2-0.7.svn20070831.fc
installed
libflashsupport.i386 000-0.1.svn20070904 installed

Is this going to involve RAW human ecstasy?
Is there anything wrong with java then? Can people see the cnn clips?

I just tried, and yes, for ca. 1 second I saw moving picture and heard
the sound. Then the screen went blank (grey).
When I tried CNN Live Video, the following error message appeared:

UNSUPPORTED PLATFORM ERROR:
This video is not supported on the current platform (browser/operating
system). For technical issues, use the FAQ

The fact that I could see the chosen clip for a second or so makes me
think that exclusion of Firefox/Linux is deliberate. I'm sure someone on
this list knows more about this...


"exclusion of Firefox/Linux is deliberate"? FUD and paranoia here. I can
watch CNN videos in Firefox and I can also see the currency rate window,
the one that changes, at the mentioned link. Somethings wrong with your
system.



I'm running F8 x86_64 on a desktop box with IcedTea Java and Flash
plugins. Youtube and many others providing video clips work just fine.
