[SOLVED] loading windows media 11 site with slackware

multios · 05-08-2011, 01:33 PM

Just curious if anybody can watch this site with slackware/gxine or other program?
http://www.peregrinefund.org/falconcam/

gxine says there is no file to load.

I'm using slackware 13.1 and xfce.

Thanks

Can't play with my MPlayer plug-in either, but I did copy the video's url and paste it to VLC, it's loading and playing. Try VLC then.

I tried the suggestion to copy url and paste to vlc on 2 different computers and can not get it to work. Is there any suggestions? Using 13.1 and xfce

You need to enter the video's URL in VLC: http://www2.fiberpipe.net/falconcam/live.asx

Thanks every one.
I'll try vlc when I get back on Slackware. I think I have to install vlc also.

Installed vlc and pasted the video url into vlc and started viewing the stream.
Thanks for the help.

I was able to get it going using vlc, The reason there were problems was that the url was not showing up as the correct one, Thanks everyone!
