Any clues any body??
Thanks, Michael
Oddly enough, even with realplayer installed, I tell it I want realplayer and it
tells me it can't find a realplay or hxplay in the system search path (it being iceweasel).
But if I tell it Windows media, up pops mozilla-mplayer plugin and all is well.
It seems that abcnews videos play now. They wouldn't before - but I'm just checking this
new beta i-caught service on ABC news and those videos seem to play.
On the realplay issue specifically, I got some error messages from the player when I tried the
OP's bbc web content with the "realplay" option, stuff about ignoring an unknown attribute and
seeing data after a newline so it is probably confused about something. That's not very helpful,
and it's difficult for me to copy the terminal output and paste it in iceweasel/gmail - the $*$*
editor thing highlights all my entered text and when I try and paste I lose everything I typed.. it's
irritating.. ;(
