Firefox says download plugin for x-ms-wmp. Why won't
mplayerplug-in catch that? What do I need to watch those
videos, other than use a Windows box?

AFAIK there is no support yet in Linux for WMP format -- nothing
that I
found on Google anyway.

x-ms-wmp should be supported from mplayerplug-in but you need a
compatible player. AFAIK MPlayer is able to play that (I'm not sure if
only with the w32libs or native though).



Yes, windows media player is well-supported under mplayer and the
various plugins. AFAIK, Yahoo uses Flash9 for their news videos. I've
had no issues watching them.

I'm beginning to wonder why I pay for a TV...
