I tried video from cnn.com larouchepac.com news.bbc.co.uk The CNN page just pops the "No Windows Media Player Detected" window, which takes you to M$ if you click on the button The larouchepac.com videos pop an Opera dialog which asks what I want to do - selecting "Open" opens mplayer, but, then nothing happens The BBC video popped the which media do you want to use dialog; I tried realmedia first, but that produced an error message when it tried to play the actual file; then, I changed it Windows Media, and it didn't get past fully opening the play window before it just stalled with the window half open Yes, if you have any further insights, I'd be glad to hear them.
Did you write to CNN and the others? If you remind them that Linux users also exist, they might start catering to us as well. Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com/ http://essentialinux.com/
