It's done on purpose. Watching videos at the CBC/Radio-Canada with Linux has been a problem from day one. The excuse is: Message from PaulNorth written on 2009-12-07 at Launchpad: It would not seem to be a technical problem at all I emailed CBC on behalf of us Linux users, and I got this reply. "Dear Paul, We have checked with our technical staff, and unfortunately, as you point out, the new Flash player we are installing does not work on Linux systems. However it does work on almost all other systems, including Windows and Mac. The number of systems that could not see the video in our new player is likely around the 1% or less range. We are not in a position to develop any workaround that would prevent revenue from being generated when users watch video on cbc.ca. Funding for CBC from the government of Canada has not been growing, and the funds from Parliament (less than $40 per Canadian taxpayer per year) only cover part of the Corporations broadcasting operations. I'm sorry you did not get an earlier response from CBC." Parker Bishop Communication Assistant CBC Audience Relations So, this seems to mean that - as a matter of policy, they refuse to "develop any workaround" unless they can make money from it. I sense the cold, grasping hand of our ideologically hysterical Conservative government in this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/455852 == When i wrote to the CEO of the CBC, the excuse was the same: budget. So I referred him to videos on the site of the Passionate Eye that didn't use the so-called "console": they played perfectly, but now, they not available, unless through the console, and they don't play anymore. So, my advice is: in the word workaround, there's the word "work" and, usually, it's just too much work. So don't spend too much time on it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
