Yes I can. You are running into the same problem I have been running into, which is javascripts that shield the raw url from you. What we need is a javascript plugin that will extract the raw links from the embedded javascript. Then you can play whatever you want to play; mplayer is fully capable, as you already know; we just need the raw links. Perhaps some fiddling with file associations might work. I use Opera and have "Open Javascript console on error". When I pick the "Face the Nation" video I get: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Inline script thread Error: name: TypeError message: Statement on line 47: Expression evaluated to null or undefined and is not convertible to Object: navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-mplayer2"] Backtrace: Line 47 of linked script http://www.comedycentral.com/mp/detectWM.js var player = navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-mplayer2"].enabledPlugin; Line 100 of linked script http://www.comedycentral.com/mp/detectWM.js var detectionResults = detectWMP(); Line 3 of inline#1 script in http://www.comedycentral.com/mp/play.php?player=realplayer&type=v&quality=high&reposid=/multimedia/tds/headlines/9035.html checkRedirect("error.php"); ------------------------------------ So it looks like it's a realplayer stream. The last line looks sort of like a raw URL, but it isn't because native realplayer won't pull it up. We need a way to extract raw urls from javascript. LX
