So even the streaming asx uses the Move Networks stuff??? That
sounds a little impossible since you have to have their player to
play the content which is only in the browser. byu.tv is the site
that uses Move Networks and yeah, if you install the windows
version of firefox under wine you can install the player and it
runs really well. You may want to install the msttcorefonts package
(or something like that)...makes the fonts on the byu.tv page and
in the browser turn out nicer.
I stand corrected. I thought the old Windows Media streaming was
taken down. I guess it is still up. I tried it on my Powerbook,
and I got past the ShelfReliance ad, but the picture was so small
and the video so blocky that it was unwatchable, in my opinion. It
looked even worse than YouTube. I then tried it under BootCamp on
Windows XP, and it looked ok, but not as large or high quality as
the Move stream. So, it looks like if you can use the optimized WM9
codecs, it would give you an ok picture. I would also try the new
url that is posted on the BYU-TV site:
http://www.byutv.org/stream/byutv256b.asx
Woops, yes, I mean:
http://www.byutv.org/streaming/byutv250b.asx
Sorry for the typo.
