You didnt provide a URL, so I googled and assume this is what you're talking about? http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ I just tried visiting this (albeit not in Ubuntu) on a brand new Asus Eee PC running Xandros and it Just Works. Worth noting that it uses mplayer with the mplayer mozilla plugin (which I do indeed also use under Ubuntu), so would assume it will work on my Ubuntu laptop too). I would use the package manager to install the mozila-mplayer package. Interestingly I also use this package to play real media based streams such as the BBC, and again, it Just Works.
