Yes.
Their home page and that page load fine (front page has lots of images and takes about ten seconds).Suppose I go to npr.org, then search for linux related stories. Now I click on one in the return list, say : http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5289411
My athlon XP box loads the main page in about 4-5 seconds, the search page in about 4-5 seconds, and the article of interest in about 3 seconds. I should have mentioned the article title is "Hundred-Dollar Laptop Draws Skeptics".
Can't find that link at all: need more info to try to confirm... Can you describe the link position in millimetres from top and left ?There is a SMIL link at the top. Click it.
There is a button-shaped, red icon with text "Listen", with a little graphic of a speaker. When that gets clicked, firefox downloads a SMIL file to /tmp. Hovering the mouse over the icon shows :
javascript:getMedia('ME', '20-Mar-2006', '6', 'RM,WM');
...in the lower left of FF.
Clicking the icon is currently exhibiting the problem for me about 1/3
tries. It was every time earlier.
...No. Once the page is up, if you do a ctrl-i, and look at the links and media, what types of files is the site using ?Has anyone else seen this problem?DaveT.
Mine is still doing it...I can duplicate this at will, just by trying a few times.
I am seeing this on many sites, many file types. Other stories on NPR do this as well. Always the situation where I am clicking on helper-application related content.
Now that I have RealPlayer 10 installed (and the requisite libstdc++-33), I notice that the hang occurs when retrieving the SMIL.
Once the SMIL is in downloads, I can open it every time, instantly. --- John
