Was wondering if there is anything that will take the place of the
'Windows Media Player' which wants to be used when trying to view videos
while in www.cnn.com .
I occasionally like to look at the various video clips that come with the news
website and it asks me to 'GET PLAYER' when I click on these videos.
Am I out of luck when trying to view these news videos when I am running
Linux? Or is there a way around this obstacle??
You could install mplayer + mplayer plugin for mozilla/firefox or the
plugin along with any other player based on mplayer, like kmediaplayer.
Personally, I prefer kaffeine+kaffeine plugin, because I like better to
watch the clip on a separate, redimensionable window rather than
embedded in the web page. Such sites often offer clips in real player
format, which is available for Linux as well.

There's also xine, which should work (haven't tried it myself on CNN's
site). BTW, if you can get RealPlayer to work on CNN's site, please let
me know. I was following the Space Shuttle landing, starting at 3:00
A.M. EDT this morning & had to go to nasa.gov in order to get a
RealPlayer friendly feed ;-)
