Um i am using an incredibly crap pc at the mo when it comes to flash and videos and internet and streaming, but I have FF2.0.0.16 (actually iceweasel) on Debian with Flash 10 beta and the video is working. Played beyond 1 minute and I've got smooth sound. Have a go with Flash 10 if you haven't got it sorted yet. there's guides somewhere on how to get it installed. make sure flash 9 is completely gone as well as the plugin wrapper (unless you're on 64 bit, then it gets mighty complicated) and then just copy the plugin into the right folder. Hope that made sense! btw i went to scifi.dragonfly.com/renegade/stogamst448 instead of stogamst443 cos it said it couldn't find 443 :S === Farran Lee I'm only 15 :-P (16 in 13 days) <>-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I get the same results as you except I also get video using 8.04 + FF3. I tried the same URL using Vista with both FF and IE. The video would only play for around a minute. -- SteveM Linux User #290313 http://counter.li.org -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Philip >>> I've just tried to play a video on the page you give the URL for, using Ubuntu 7.10 + FF2, and Ubuntu 8.04 with FF2 and FF3. It plays (video and sound) for about a minute with 7.10 + FF2. Then it stops, as if buffering, but it has actually hung and does not restart. I could hear the sound for under a minute in 8.04 + FF3, but no video. FF3 then simply terminated. My media stuff is set up (apologies to RMS, though!) according to the excellent HowTo at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 Using this configuration, I have been able to play all types of media and streams without any difficulty - apart from the URL you sent.
