Re: ninemsn catchup

[Daniel Sobey]

Hello Tom,

It is not possible to use ninemsn catchup under linux.
While moonlight exists for linux and you can get it working for some
apps ninemsn includes drm extensions that are windows only that are
built to use the win32 api.
It may be possible to use a windows version of firefox with wine and
mono but i have no idea if this is going to work.
There has been recent updates for wine to allow this sort of thing but
i do not know if that is complete enough to use.

Regards,

Daniel

far more complex than the product it is restricting, meaning that
the user experience (even on supported platforms) is bad.



I like the way Cisco Press is doing their eBooks (not quite the same
thing as TV catch-ups, i know): when i buy an ebook, i get a
DRM-free PDF or ePUB file with my name in it as a watermark.  And
the books are pretty cheap, too.  Gives me lots of incentive to buy
from them over their competitors, and i know that the files are
going to work with whatever device i care to put them on.

I'd be surprised if you didn't have trouble tbh.

This is as far as I went with ninemsn:
