I've had problems with this too but recently MPlayer has been working
very well to stream (and capture) content of any type. What

Viewing. I presume that these videos are buried behind ActiveX crap and
are Internet Explorer-only.
If you can grab the file, most of the ffmpeg-based players can chew
through it. The big advance was the ability to cope with WMV9.

I have to confess that my being impressed with
Ubuntu/Kubuntu end results regarding multimedia
is tempered with the fact that it took a whole
heck of a lot of digging to find all the tips,
tricks, hints and gotcha's to actually make it
happen, but it did happen. In addition I set
these boxes up for my nephews that want to
basically do:
YouTube
Google Earth
Cartoon Network (and others)
Play video clips from science news sources
If you know of a clip/URL that has been a
problem I'd like to look at it and take a stab
at it.
MPlayer's ability to handle anything I have
thrown at it so far has been impressive given
that if you can play it you can pretty much
capture it too.
