Streaming audio (from radio stations) lost

[pwabrahams]

After upgrading to Lucid, my streaming audio isn't working. I can go to the station, all right, but I get no sound. (The sound system itself seems to be working fine.) I've tried accessing two different stations both with Chrome and Firefox, with no success. One of the URLs is:

http://www.wgbh.org/includes/playerP...bjAllClassical

It was working under Karmic and still works under dual-booted Windows XP.

What can I do to get my sound back?

It's a Flash site. Have you got: kubuntu-restricted-extras
installed?

Re: Streaming audio (from radio stations) lost

I think I have Flash already installed in Firefox, and it supposedly comes with Chrome. Usually when I try to run a Flash site and Flash isn't installed, Firefox lets me know that. In any event, both flash-installer and kubuntu-restricted-extras have been installed.

What's happening is that it goes to http://www.wgbh.org/includes/playerP...bjAllClassical. I then get the message "Transferring data from streamb.wgbh.org..." and it's stuck there.

I also tried clicking on the Windows Media option for the site. That brought up Xine and displayed a large "Xine" on the screen. It then displayed the message "xine-plugin: playlist detected, requesting a local copy." and went no further.

I had exactly the same issues as you, by the look of what you've posted.
Try my solution.
