 I'm able to watch PBS video clips using mplayer-plugin under native 
 firefox on 5.5-R. I don't know about streams, because I couldn't find 
 one after a cursory look through http://www.pbs.org/. Can you post a URL 
 for something you are unable to watch? It may also be helpful to know 
 what versions of everything that you are using (you know the drill).
 

I thoughtthey were streams.  *BZZT*  Video clips is more 
likely.  When I click on the Windows row of options, nothing
happens.  My router is not flashing, so nothing is coming across.
Sounds like a misconfiguration problem because I've rarely gotten
mplayer to work, even with windows audio.  Suggestions??

I was aiming at the Wired Sci-Tech series... that I missed :-(

streaming video (at 144kbps)?

2007-01-05 Thread Gary Kline

People,

Any ideas how///what tools to use to watch PBS streams?
Nothing/zip works with [linux-] firefox plus the flashplugin7
and mplayer.  Same on my one Ubuntu server (although I may have
pitched mlayer).  I realize I'll be watching a postage stamp
sized movie, but no-prob.

thanks for any tips,

gary
