Can you flashgot this?

[josephj]

When I play this using the Windows Media Player or Silverlight links on the page, the flashgot media icon appears in my addon bar but left clicking on it does nothing. I tried it using the Firefox builtin downloader and with DTA.

In the post preview, it looks like only part of the above link makes it into the hyperlink, so you might have to copy and paste it into your location bar.

If that link doesn't work, try

These links won't last for more than a few days.

Thanks.

(The Flash) is coming down via RTMP & FlashGot cannot see that.

Search for other "rtmp" threads & see if something there works for you.

Alternatively they offer WMP & Silverlight, but I did not test those so can't say if they would work or not?

That's why (although I didn't know the exact reason) I didn't list Flash as one of the links to try.

(installed WMP plugin)

The WMV (ASF as it is) is seen & downloads.

Code: Select all

mms://a535.m.akastream.net/7/535/1459/1333576065/video.vdat.com/EncodedMedia/videonewswire/audio/windows/156475_157849.asf

Took a long time before it actually started, but suspect that is just a server issue.

Changing the mms: to http: & was presented two links.

Code: Select all

mms://209.18.41.102/7/535/1459/1333576065/video.vdat.com/EncodedMedia/videonewswire/audio/windows/156475_157849.asf

The second of the two started much quicker?

Don't know if you'll have a plugin under Linux?
Though MPlayer (or whatever you have there) should be able to play the downloaded .asf (assuming you can actually see it).
