Perhaps because they don't want people grabbing the videos and watching them without browsing to their site, or reposting them elsewhere? > Maybe I'll just remove this gecko plugin; there's no point in having it > installed when it doesn't work or when it doesn't do anything. Why are > people creating plugins that don't work or don't do anything? You're being rather shortsighted; just because it doesn't work *for you* doesn't mean that it categorically "doesn't work" and "doesn't do anything". I've used it many times to watch / download media that I couldn't access any other way. [I'm not particularly interested in watching / listening in a browser, so I usually use the plugin to start up some mplayer processes, then use 'ps ax | grep mplayer' to get the stream url and feed it to vlc to save the stream. Yes, I know mplayer itself can save streams, but vlc has been much more reliable for me.] Celejar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
