Re: [orca-list] how to play nasa tv?

Hi John

Thanks for the headsup that there was a shuttle launch.

I clicked upon the link and no multimedia automatically played on this
setup.   It immediately asked for username and password.

Anyway I looked further down the page and found a group of links.  I
firstly tried the audio only link.  This worked and so did the
realplayer link.  Although, I could not confirm that I had visuals.  I
didn't see a flash link, just realplayer, windows media and quicktime
options.

This system is a Ubuntu Hardy installation.  Multimedia seems to work
after installing mplayer itself the mplayer and helix mozilla plugins.
