My apologies. You can thank the VPN for being down last night (I had no way to get this post until this morning).
I did confirm it works. Here's what you need to do to get it functional in Firefox. - Install mplayer - Install mplayerplugin-in - Check to make sure they're showing up in Firefox by going to about:plugins - Install the GreaseMonkey Firefox Extension: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ - Exit Firefox, and re-open. - Install pkLaunch: http://www.pooyak.com/p/pklaunch/ (Right click over "Open pklaunch-0.8.user.js" and select Install User Script). Or, click on the link, go to Tools > Install User Script - Click on any music video at Yahoo Music (Including the one you mentioned in this post). Also, if you decide that you can't do without watching the video at least a thousand times more, then: - Install mencoder - After you click on the music video, right click in the video and select Copy Url. - Open a terminal with a paste option (gnome-terminal / konsole ...etc). - In the terminal window, use the following command: mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o myvideo.wmv "paste_the_link_here", and press Enter. (YMMV, so try .avi if .wmv does not work for you). - Rinse, wash, repeat. For those using Gentoo, if you'd like to see my /etc/make.conf, I'd be glad to share :). eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 12:20 PM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Yahoo videos did you try http://music.yahoo.com/vid-34917451--Original-Fire I cant get the stupid javascript window to pop up and play it.
