Can I get UStream TV to run on my xfce4.4.2 box

NightSky · 02-27-2008, 12:58 PM

Running Slackware12, Xfce4.4.2, piii600e, pc100, 640mb x2swap, ATI Rage128 AGP32mb...Firefox 2.0.0.4
This is my goto box in other words the only one I use to go online with and
want to go into a Ustream TV chat session. I think maybe I don't have enough buffering and don't know howto increase it for Firefox and or Xfce?

Anyone know what I have to do? #I am not trying to hook a cam to this box, just want to watch and listen to the video feed from a particular chat event and use text messaging. Thanks

I've just watched a few (flash) videos and posted a remark. All went well. What exactly does not work for you?

I just can't get a connection.. Have no trouble connectiing with my mac laptop using same
isp att dsl service. So I thought it is related to buffer? I can view video tutorials @

So apparently you have the flash plugin installed and it's working.
It looks like some program is blocking this site.
Are you behind a proxy?
Some kind of filter?

ardiv, I don't know what you meanif I am behing a proxy or filter? Could you explain? Sorry just don't know?
Yes, flash plugin on firefox is installed and works. Thanks

Info about proxies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server
and about content filtering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-control_software

But I guess you don't use them, otherwise you would have known.

Other possibilities:
Does it work with another browser?
Do you use Firefox? If so, try (from a terminal) firefox -safe-mode. Does that help?
