I saw a Linux-compatible streaming video links list on avsforum: Linux-compatible streaming video links - AVS Forum and it made me think it may be useful to maintain such a list for openSUSE (on an adhoc basis) on a thread under our multimedia subforum area. Of course the list in the thread would quickly go out of date, … but then just as quickly come back in date again when users test various web sites (and report on their progress). Some users visit the same stream sites day after day, so when something breaks, the news (on the breakage) could come pretty quick.
… it might also be useful to specify which openSUSE version number in our list works, and also which pluggin/browser works with the streaming media …
We could get a moderator to maintain the first page … (where the “current” list is kept).
The scope would need be agreed, … ie should the thread include support requests? or just refer to other threads where support was wanted (if one can not get a site to work) ? My preference is to have a thread with just contributions (ie site-x works, or site-x no longer works) but not support requests. Instead, if one believes site-x no longer works, then start a new thread, and if the new thread concludes site-x no longer works, then post a note requesting the summary (1st) post of the Linux-compatible streaming thread be updated.
We could start by checking the list from the above URL (although these tend to be very TV orientated, likely due to the site from which it comes):

Its possible some sites will not be “cut and dry” where some URLs (for streaming media) work on a site, but other ULRs (for streaming media) do not work on the same site.
