Is any one having trouble viewing videos here?

AccuWeather.com

I filed a complaint with them and actually got a response. Of course they were asking me to try in IE. Ain't gonna happen. Perhaps the service tech didn't see that I was using operating system 'other'. And I mentioned in comments that OS is openSUSE. I'm in 11.1 and 11.2 RC2 x86_64 KDE 4.3.2 [problem is in both]. I've tried in Firefox, Konqueror, and Opera.

Would like to know if others are encountering this so I can add to my report with them.

Doesn't play for me in 11.2
However my F10 box works fine. All browsers.

which tends to mean it is not a Linux problem nor a AccuWeather site
problem, but rather an openSUSE problem..

which does not make me happy, since their video won't play here on
10.3, in any browser

i note that AccuWeather is using Microsoft-IIS/6.0 to serve, and
wonder since Novell and Mr. Steve are now buddies if we couldn't get
MS to tutor our developers on how to setup openSUSE to play friendly
with their stuff..

For 11.2 KDE 4.3.2:

Does not work in Konqueror
Works in Firefox (3.5.3 from the opensuse mozilla repo)

I just tried in a 64-bit openSUSE-11.1 with MozillaFirefox-3.5.3. I also have flash-player-10.0.32.18-0.1.1 and nspluginwrapper-1.2.2-7.1 and the depreciated mplayerplug-in-3.55+cvs20090923-0.pm.2.2 . It works fine.

Tried 11.1 and 11.2 RC1 with FF3.5.3 and got the same result - a black
screen and greyed-out controls. I've Adobe Flash 10.0.32.18 on both systems.

How long did you wait? I had to wait 30 seconds on a very high speed connection for the video to stream.

Starts up in a few secs on my F10 Box and my adsl is slower than your line Lee.
But openSUSE is no go. I just don't have the time or inclination to look into it ATM.

Update:
It's ok for me with Opera 10 in openSUSE, not with Konqueror.

wow....me too (works in Opera [but not in konqueror or firefox]..

and that, Maria Molina sure has big . . . eyes!! ;-)
