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. This leads me to be suspicious about the stream you're trying to use. HTH Mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
