not playing streams

[fleamailman]

ok, using add/remove programs, what should I download to get the streams working in Konqueror, they play for five seconds only and then it goes back to the start of the stream, I think I am missing a plug in, thanks

Re: not playing streams

The fact that the streams starts makes me think that it's not that you are missing a plugin. Otherwise, it shouldn't start at all.

Do you have firefox and does it play the stream if you can try it?

Edit: In this Ubuntu 'How To' for Playing Streaming Video it reads...

Ubuntu

There are a variety of plugins that allow you to play streaming video in your browser. The recommended plugin is totem-xine-firefox-plugin. First, install the Windows Codecs, then install the totem-plugin.

On Ubuntu, Totem can use either the gstreamer (default) or xine multimedia frameworks. The plugin installation process depends on the framework you use. If you use totem-gstreamer (the version of Totem that uses the gstreamer back-end), install the totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin package. If you use totem-xine, install the totem-xine-firefox-plugin package.

See this page for instructions for Ubuntu 5.10.

Kubuntu

This is not needed for Konqueror; Kubuntu comes with a plugin by default.
