Fox News Channels videos won't play

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've come back to this issue of the Fox News Channel videos not wanting 
to play, because perhaps I have some more information that might provide 
a clue.

Fox News Channel hosts a number of videos, and provides an embedding 
link to each one. About an hour ago, I went to find one. When my Fedora 
12/Firefox 3.5.8 setup wouldn't play nice, I went to another machine 
that had Windows XP on it. I was able to play the video there, and to 
get the embedding script. I got it and pasted it into an article I wrote.

And when I went to display my article, guess what? The video wouldn't play.

Here is the link to the article I wrote, that has the embedded video:

<http://www.examiner.com/x-28973-Essex-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m3d31-Census-bureau-can-only-blame-itself-for-nonresponse>

Here is the embedding URL I used:

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=4106724&w=400&h=249";></script><noscript>Watch 
the latest news video at <a 
href="http://video.foxnews.com/";>video.foxnews.com</a></noscript>

And now: here is what that script embed.js contains:

if(document.domain.indexOf('rightscoop') < 0) { document.write(''); }

And that's it.

Every other video site I have visited will play nice--YouTube, Google 
Video, everyone. What is wrong with Fox?

Am I missing a plugin, perhaps? Here's the output of about:plugins on my 
browser:
