Interesting. Works for me with Chromium (linux), but not SM, FF, or
Opera (linux). However, I can pretty much verify that that is most
likely a configuration issue as entering the video URL
(http://mfile.akamai.com/18569/live/reflector:59445.asx?bkup=32644)
directly into VLC fetches and plays the webcast just fine.
Thanks for the confirmation. It would then appear to be a SM problem.
As I mentioned, I think in my case it's a configuration issue (PEBKAC).
For example: the wmv on this site:
http://www.ifactorystream.eu/wmtest.html
Played fine in Chromium. But in FF, SM, and Opera I only got a black
window. I then reinstalled an mplayer package (again linux), reloaded FF
and SM, and now the video plays just fine in FF, SM, and Opera.
So, were I you I'd go looking for similar streams as you were viewing on
the NASA site and see if perhaps the issue is a plugin (installed or
lack thereof).
This link iFactorystream works perfect. There is an issue with the
server serving the material.
On a Mac, running OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

SeaMonkey - Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X

Safari - Version 5.1.4 (6534.54.16) - FAILS
Firefox 11.0 - asks to restart in 32-bit mode - FAILS (after a long time)
Chrome 17.0.963.83 - FAILS
probably has to do with being of type video/x-ms-asf
On the other hand, http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
(main NASA TV page)
SeaMonkey - video on main page plays, click through to ustream (flash)
worked, click through to quicktime didn't
Firefox - same as SeaMonkey
Safari - http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html, ustream
works, quicktime launches realplayer, doesn't play
Chrome - same
note: I'm pretty sure this has to do with quicktime missing the right
codec on a Mac
