However, they are not directly played by the flash plugin. There is a wrapper around it called "v4.1.0.local 2009-09-03 7:59 PM" which appears not compatible with linux. I cannot play them and I don't have Omega to determine if it can. The second link contains several other links...which was referenced in Frank Murphy's response...and to which I replied. Therefore, all of my comments were based on Frank's response and dealt only with the second link. Those links are not being played by a flash player...but by gecko-mediaplayer. FWIW, I don't have totem installed on my Fedora system. And, if you look you'd find that gecko-mediaplayer is "mplayer" with a new name. -- Ever notice that the word "therapist" breaks down into "the rapist"? Simple coincidence? Maybe...
