sights that want windows media in Linux firefox


Hi there folks.

I've been giving myself a nasty headache trying to figure out how to deal with this all morning. I keep finding references that say CNN/MSNBC will work but the only explanations given is the mplayer/kaffeine plugin install what I have already done.

I can get windows streaming media from cspan but not from MSBC. It always asks me to install windows media player.

Any suggestions on what to do? java plugins are installed as well

I have the same problem with weather.com. I have the mplayer plugin and can watch embedded .wmv files, but not on weather.com for some reason.
