Dear folks,
I have been trying to watch a video on the following site:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight
If you go on there and click on a video clip you get a little firefox AV
window. The black box and some boxes with arrows appear to play the clip
but the clip refuses to start.
Javascipt etc is enabled. I don't think I have a kill the pop ups off
setting in the browser that could mess things up....
I also tried firing up totem movie player to see if it would help. Excuse
my ignorance but is it the free alternative to real player?
It can't seem to find the real player files on the web page. You can get
the web page to look for a Windows media player file instead of a real
player format file. If you do this then totem movie player says it can't
read the file type and so you need another plug in.....
What plug in might this be?
In my earlier posting I had thought to try to download real player for linux
but if other free alternatives are actually better then perhaps I should try
to use them instead.....
Comments appreciated.
Regards
Michael Fothergill
