Most of my streaming woes have been solved by using the totem-mozilla plugin with the totem-xine backend. Make sure to install the libxine-extracodecs and the w32codecs packages. You may need to enable the Medibuntu repositories for w32codecs <http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/>.
Hope that helps! -Erik On Saturday April 7, 2007 12:00:21 am UM-LINUX automatic digest system wrote: > Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2007 12:28:27 -0400 > From: Justin Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Playing WMP audio streams in Firefox (under Linux) > > Hey everybody! > > I was trying to listen to my satellite radio internet stream at work, > and I can't figure out how to force it to work (I use Ubuntu Edgy > [6.10]).
