Hi...

I can't get this streaming video to play on my system and I wonder if it's gentoo compatible.

Does anyone have the ability to watch it?

Thanks!

It works ok here in seamonkey. You should need just flash, and -maybe- javascript, for the rest, it should work (tm). Konqueror, though, fails miserably... surely another konqi javascript issue (also tm).

Well, I don't remember. I know before there were times that I've had to link to a codec. Enter about:plugins in your address bar and it will show you what is enabled. It also links to mozdev.

I apologize for sending you to the docs. If I could remember the process.........

This appears to be it. Decompress it, then copy libflashplayer.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and flashplayer.xpt to your Mozilla components directory.

I am using seamonkey with nsplugins-wrapper and flash 9 on amd64. And it works with a 64 bit seanmonkey (no -bin).

With my usual browser which is konqueror, it fails to play, but I don't think it is a plugins issue, since the page doesn't load at all. It is more likely to be a javascript issue.

I have a 32-bit environment... At that site I get a blue video screen with a "loading" message, that eventually times out, without any video appearing.

This is a new laptop, and I haven't installed java yet. That makes 6thpink's suggestion of it being a javascript issue very plausible. Have to decide between sun and blackdown...

Any suggestion??

That shows my limited knowledge about multimedia things...

I love firefox extensions, but they can be a hassle when one of them breaks a web page. I wish firefox had an option to disable all extensions in one swoop to help figuring these things out.
