viewing videos with linux
« on: Dec 29, 2006, 06:02 AM »
I wasn't sure if this belongs in General or Off-topic...

At home I use linux (currently Suse 10.1), browse with Firefox using the mplayer plugin.  When I open a page on this site containing video(s), mplayer buffers the video but stop supposedly at 99%. When I go to play the video, mplayer gets a connection refused (refused by weightlifting exchange). Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to fix this situation?

Tom,

Can you use a different browser for this site? Perhaps John Clutter can help....

It may be a moot point for a while. I have trouble viewing some Microsoft oriented video formats, I guess that includes the format used here.  I'll get 'er fixed at my end.
