I had the same issue as the OP, and the suggestion on this site did the trick nicely. Very easy, too ... bonus! "2) go to a video site of your choice (cnn, etc.) I used cnn. click on a video. When it starts trying to start up, "right click" on the screen and select "configure. choose a video and audio output option that seems to work with your website of choice. ***Be very careful about these settings. I chose "x11" for video output and alsa for audio output. SO FAR this is working well with the exception of the first 2 or 3 seconds of the video is stop and go for some reason but then it smooths out and plays fine. I've played 14 videos off cnn so far before posting this and haven't gotten the usual looping that I used to get."

Thanks to everyone who responded and the great ideas and fixes.f However, I ended up noticing that an RPM I had for 10.1 called kaffeine-mozilla from packman was missing from packman 10.2. So I wrote the maintainer who was kind enough to make it available. Thought you all would like to know. This worked fine for me.

so, does that mean, basically, that after installing this package you substituted Kaffeine for mplayer as the mozilla plugin that plays streaming media?

Is this going to be added to packman for 10.2?

Peter Yes to both questions. Go fetch it from packman now. It was placed on their web site within 2-hrs after I wrote. Try to get anything done for mickysoft that quickly ;-) It provided instant relief for this issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Now on to Fox, abc, cbs, nbc and pbs:)) (on an x86-64  running 64 bit suse 10.2. any ideas there?

On Fox.... I haven't been able to play a video for many months and on three different distros and either Flash 7 or 9. I think they have something screwed up with their Java which they use for videos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Any suggestions for how to get video working on sites that return:

Mplayer did come up but went into a continuous loop and never played the video from this site. Does anyone have this working?

http://www.cnn.com/video/

Click on any of the videos on the right hand side will probably reproduce the issue I am talking about.

What version of mplayer do you have?

I currently have MPlayer 1.0rc1-1.pm.1@586 and mplayerplug-in 3.31-0.pm.2@586 running on Firefox 1.5 or 2.0 with the same results...

I will occasionally get the symptoms you wrote about when there is network congestion but usually get the video requested.

MPlayer-1.0rc1-1.pm.1 mplayerplug-in-3.31-0.pm.2 However, now that I have the Kaffeine kaffeine-mozilla-0.2-0.pm.1 rpm installed I can watch the videos. Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
