Hello. I cannot get the following video news site working:
<http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/Page/document/video/vs?id=RTGAM.20070531.wvclipoftheweek0529>

I use Etch, with epiphany. I have w32codecs, mplayer, and mozplugger
installed. Epiphany has both javascript and java enabled. Can anyone
else view videos here, or is this site a lost cause for Linux computers?

Mark

Because it's explicitly looking for WMP.

I've just tried the site on FC2, and I've got the mplayerplug-in installed.
That is the mozilla-mplayer package in Etch. I'm on dialup, so never expect
much, but am getting snippets of audio from the site. It says it's using
windows media for it's streams.

Hi Mark,
I'm running Debian Lenny. No joy using mplayer plug-ins on FF. These work
with just about everything else. The plugin just went into an endless loop.
Running mplayer from the commandline gave me this:

I managed to see the advert using vlc but that's all it showed and then
stopped (I fed it the url I got back copying it from the mplayer plugin.
Bloody doubleclick!
Cheers,
Jonathan

Follow up: I was able to play videos using the mplayer plugin on FF. The G&M
server is pig-slow so you have to wait but gnu/linux still rules!
