[SOLVED] Need help watching shows on website

JosephS · 03-25-2010, 05:31 PM

Using Debian Lenny
Mozilla Iceweasel 3.0.6

I'm trying to watch shows from this website:
http://www.globaltv.com/entertainmen.../24/index.html

I can use this website with at a friend's place, but not on my
computer. I tried disabling the pop up blocker and firewall;
didn't make a difference.
I have Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 as well as libnpjp2.so installed as
plugins. I looked through the preferences in Iceweasel, but I'm
not sure what else to do.
Any suggestions?

What happens, their flash player doesn't come up? it says content not available? What does it do instead of playing the content for you? Do you have any needed codecs like the w32codecs package?

also, are you running 32 bit or 64 bit? Hulu at one time anyway had trouble playing flash content with the 64 bit flash player.

FWIW, I checked the site. When I clicked the link for a video, nothing happened. Not sure if the site is US only and that's why, or because there is another issue.

I'm on 32bit Debian Lenny with Adobe Flash.

Indeed, over here the same problem. Other sites work perfectly with flash and flashvideo, exept for this one.

Over here: Debian Squeeze with Mozilla Iceweasel, Opera and Google Chrome all the same.

It must be a country or provider filter.

Basically nothing happens when I try to watch a video.
I have w32codecs installed.
Using a 32 bit system.

It's not a country or provider filter. I watched videos
on the site at a friend's place and he lives in the same
city, and uses the same ISP. He uses Windows. I think XP, but maybe Windows 7 or Vista.

There must be something else I need to install.

When I clicked on the link from various linux distros came up to the show 24. When I clicked on the episodes nothing happened. Started up windows 7 did the same thing and a message came up that said the episodes were no longer available

I found the solution. I installed gxineplugin.
