Fox News Video

Hi Im using fire fox and when I go to the fox news website I cant view the videos.When I was using ubuntu I had to down load grease monkey. So I went toinstall software and searched for grease monkey, and nothing Im kind of new to linux any help would be appreciated Thanks Dan

three things here:

a: do you have the plugins ?(aboutlugins)
b: are you running 64bit OS?
c: Is it necessarily a BAD thing Fox news can't be watched? :lol:

I down loaded all the multimedia codecs, Im not running a 64 bit os Do they make grease monkey for suse 10.3 kde? Thanks Dan

huh, well like many browser add-ons you will have to install and see but did you check this site first to make sure you have covered your checklist....

mplayer and mplayer plugin installed with w32codecs all? are you sure?

I found greasemonkey at suse its there as one word But firefox still wont play fox news video, but konquer does I will keep searching the internet for info. Thanks Dan

I noticed that foxnews video here:

http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html

Will not play if you're user agent is reporting that you are using Linux. Konqueror can change that easily. As for firefox...

Install this plugin: http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/59 change your user agent to IE7 / Vista and it'll let you right in.

The site shouldn't have anythign to do with codecs. It's flash video just like youtube. IMO pretty stupid for Fox to go through the effort to block linux users for no good reason, but hey, it's Fox.

Interesting notice:

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center 2005, Mac OSX 10.3 or Mac OSX 10.4 is required to view this page[/b]

I guess that poor Vista and everyone else not wanted. Really a stupid idea on their part.

It works on all windows.

It works on all windows.

I meant to say it works on windows vista since mattb already named the rest. my comment sound as if I run all windows.

I think it's a drm issue.
