That's all this gives you? Can't mplayerplug-in do this already? |

There are some streams that you can't get with mplayer. The bigger issue is that there are no legal concerns if you get the codecs from Microsoft. |

According to http://abock.org/2009/02/11/announcing-moonshine-the-project... it also has the added feature: "Additionally, a further piece of JavaScript is bound to the plugin object that emulates pieces of the standard Windows Media ActiveX/object API for further compatibility." Which is something mplayerplug-in doesn't do afaik. |

I'm going to have to try this and see if it works with CastUp. mplayerplug-in doesn't. It would be really nice to be able to get some streaming video from Israel that I can't get now. |

@caitlyn - do let us know if it works. |

@herzeleid: It doesn't work. I no longer get ther error that I have to install Windows Media Player. Instead I get an error telling me the requested program can't be displayed... after displaying maybe two seconds worth. Grrr.... I was really upset when IBA went to CastUp for their streaming and dumped RealPlayer support. I had this brief feeling that maybe I'd be able to watch IBA News on my netbook. Nah... ain't gonna happen. |

Dumping RealPlayer should have been good news, since it's spyware/adware supreme. It takes ingenuity to find something worse! |

tuxchick: You don't have to use RealPlayer to get a RealPlayer feed. I could watch IBA News in Linux with mplayer-plugin or xine when they supported that. Can't watch it at all with CastUp. |

WMV/WMA? No thanks, I use Linux. |
