FWIW, I looked at the site just now.. Firefox/Linux. No activex needed. The video is just a standard embedded object.. perhaps they've changed things since you brought it up? Here's the URL for those who want to watch out of the browser: mms://ndpwmedia.staging.qala.com.sg/stream03 I imagine once the telecast starts, $ mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile ndp2007.wmv \ mms://ndpwmedia.staging.qala.com.sg/stream03 would be a nice hack ;-) Of course... why windows media has been chosen as the streaming platform is a different matter. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
