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.
I will look at that, but doesn't that news site look for (specifically) the
Windows Media Player.
And if that is the case, it wouldn't matter what Linux utility you might
have installed that would play these videos.
Or am I wrong on this??
