Reply #161: Canofun doesn't care about non-Windows users.

They've gone to all streaming with .ASX coding only for Windows.

If they would just provide the "mms://...." link to the stream us Linux users--and probably Mac users, too--could access their streams. Instead, they wrap the "mms://..." links in a bunch of Windows specific markup.

Instructions for Linux users...

Using mplayer...

1. Get the link from the web site. Right click the link and select "Copy link location"
2. Paste the link onto the command line. Using mplayer you have to put the URL after the "-playlist" option. Note: a "-cache <size in Kbytes>" option is often helpful. Here's an example:

$ mplayer -cache 128 -playlist http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/2006/DeanAbramoffDemocrats.asx
