I think it uses flash. Do you have a flash plug-in installed?

Which video? The ones on this page use the flash player
http://www.cnn.com/video

THE "Live Video" uses the Turner Media Plugin on Windows, and Flip4Mac with Quicktime on Macs. If you want to watch Live Videos on linux follow this

Funny you give him a link to resolve problem, but my Ubuntu works great no problems as well as my Mint Linux and my Suse linux have no problem running video?


Then the directive request he send in a complaint about the video feed now all users on this site were able to watch the video and had no problems...

This is a bad copy of Ubuntu I had one and deleted it after being unable to access Administrative tasks...


I almost guarantee this is a bad copy of Ubuntu...

This not a plug-in issue...


Download a new copy of Ubuntu install and problem is gone.....


later good luck,
