Students of the Tel Aviv University have videos of some lectures availible online. I'm trying to play these lectures in linux with a friend's computer. The lectures are ment to be played by Windows Media Player plugin in the browser, which is given a mms:// streaming address. Feeding this address to mplayer resulted the server respond with "no such video stream".
Was anyone able to play this lectures on some linux supporting software? I suspected it works in the browser because of the authentication (you must log in to view the lectures). But I don't understand, do the WMP plugin access your cookies when it runs in the browser? I assumed it doesn't (it works in chrome under windows, and I assumed the WMP plugin there won't know anything about chrome's internals) therefor I assumed authentication won't be an issue, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
