Yep it does look that way, I can use that site with konq but ff just bombs I
still cannot narrow down what exactly is causing it but did notice that a
time or 2 even konq was struggling to start to play and the stream seems OK.
However I could not spend much time on it today as I got called out.

I just tried it (iPlayer Real Converter - Audio on Demand - the original link) and it gives me a real audio file. Perhaps you need to get the real audio plugin.
In both Firefox and Seamonkey, I get a segmentation fault. With Konqueror, clicking on an entry on the “Converter” page, gets to download a real audio file. The file plays in Amarok and Kaffeine, the audio is clear. However, it only streams a short clip from BBC Radio 7 advertising upcoming programmes. It ends before playing the actual programme described in the original link. What a waste of time!
This may be true, however it doesn’t explain or ‘justify’ the failure of Firefox when using any other form of media player. Shouldn’t this be raised as a bug with the team at Mozilla Foundation?
Firstly no as FF does no media playback that is plugins. Next FF albeit a PGO build and a later mplayer on another distro plays those files fine for me. So it is either a packaging problem or config.
the original poster’s link plays fine here in the FF addon
mediaplayerconnectivity 0.9.2 in FF 3.0.12 in KDE3.5.7 all loving
openSUSE 10.3 with desktop effects off
just have to get your priorities straight: do you want pretty which
doesn’t work, or working fine and STILL light years ahead of XP…

Which player have you got linked to mediaplayerconnectivity addon?
I still get a complete crash and exit of ff with the mplayer, but at the
moment only on this site.

Ahh… now that is one I have not tried.
When I have more time I will install that and see if it makes any
difference.
Cheers Goldie.
