viewing videos online


I am currently trying to view football games on espn360.com. however you must be running either windows or Mac OS to be able to view them. is there any way to be able to watch them through linux? also would having wine installed help here at all?

I have no problem watching their content (the free part of it since I'm not a subscriber). Do you have the latest flash player installed?

I think ESPN 360 uses MS silverlight(tm)
disable add Block Plus
and install THERE movie player ( win.exe)
On xp or vista
from other forums ( the NEW player will not run in wine)

It says on the site:
Quote:
ESPN360 uses Adobe Flash player 9. You can download the latest plugin by selecting the link.
So if you have flash player installed it should work.
