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.
Unnecessarily strong words here, don't you think? I didn't mention it
but yesterday I tried CNN on IE7/WindowsXP (this same dual-boot box) and
it worked all right once I downloaded the necessary plugin. No
"UNSUPPORTED PLATFORM ERROR" then.
I can
watch CNN videos in Firefox and I can also see the currency rate window,
the one that changes, at the mentioned link.
Good for you.
Somethings wrong with your system.

No doubt. It's a clean install of F8 with (AFAIK) the latest flash
plugin. Instead of criticizing me for reporting what I found (and
thought), why don't you tell me and the OP what your system has to make
it work with CNN?


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.
