Weird...so I went to the BYU tv website...the link below was wrong...and clicked on the http://www.byutv.org/streaming/byutv250b.asx link. Without paying attention I played it using Amarok instead of the Movie Player. Amarok actually got past the shelf reliance commercial and I could hear someone speaking...only thing is...I don't know how/if amarok can play the video...
I tried the same link with mplayer, gmplayer, gxine, and totem...and none of them got past the commercial...gxine didn't even get there, it just froze.. So, anyone know how to play video in Amarok? -Brandon On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 11:12 AM, Grant Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jun 3, 2008, at 10:23 AM, Brandon Pedersen wrote: > > So even the streaming asx uses the Move Networks stuff???
