Well, I've just done some experimenting with BBC videos and found they seem to have hired the same butt-heads that CNN did to revamp their video web support. I did eventually get at least one video to play, but it wasn't easy. Running 32 bit firefox I did this: 1. I have to have the user agent switcher plugin in firefox so I can lie to their web server and claim to be netscape. Without that, all I get are 403 Forbidden messages. 2. After that, I was finally able to get through to their web site, and after a bit of experimentation in the video preferences page I get I picked "standard" speed and "real player" over windows media. 3. That finally gets me to what claims to be a media player, but no media ever plays, however if I right click in the black video window, I get an option "play with kplayer", and if I pick that, I get a new kplayer window and the video actually plays! P.S. I already have installed on my system just about every media player and multi-media support rpm from the livna repo, as well as all the misc windows codecs in the /usr/lib/codecs location mplayer will look for them. No doubt some of that stuff contributes to my ability to finally play the video, but I have no idea exactly which bit might be involved. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
