does anyone on the list listen to baseball via streaming audio on mlb.com? every year it's half way thru the sason before i can get it working on a linux box, though it works well on a windows machine. this year i am still stumped. a paid subscription is needed to listen to games but there are usually audio clips that can be heard gratis.
Its just realaudio with a secure connection front end. Its all contracted to SUN. You need javascript turned on, and cookies too. In KDE i connect with Kong and it makes me step thru this test screen and on that screen you tell it you have and older real player and you want to use it instead of downloading that RealOne piece of crap. Once you get past that test you can log in like you do in windows and it works fairly well. (Suse 8.1). I think all subscribers should send email to MLB and lobby for some other stream (mp3, ogg, anything) that gives a choice of players becasue Realplayer sucks big time. Go Mariners. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
