And the commercial part which works is played in the same plugin player as the main part which doesn't work. Maybe I'm using the word stream in the wrong way? Maybe video clip is a better phrase in this case? When I right click in the Flash plugin that is failing to play the video clip, it says "Qbrick Professional: 3.8.1.211" and "OSMF Version: 1.0", if that has any relevance. The Flash plugin in my web browser is version 11.3.300.270. These video clips are free to view so if you have a proxy squid available you could try them. I don't think they are limited to Swedish clients, at least I don't see anything about limitations on their web. http://www.dn.se/webbtv/ Thanks! -- Peter Olsson pol@xxxxxxxxxxx
