Streaming audio with firefox

[tp1971]

Does anyone know how to listen to streaming audio playing on a radiostation (www.b96.com)? I have no problems hearing the music when working on windows, but i just can't get it to work with ubuntu. Thanks

Click on the link and it says it can't be found. It is picking up the right parenthisis as part of .com.

Try using mplayer instead of totem as a firefox plugin, it's not working quite well. To do so, check in your sources.list file

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

if this line is present :

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe multiverse

If there is a " # " before the line, remove it, save & close the file. Then in command line type :

sudo apt-get update


Then install mplayer and it's plugin :

sudo apt-get install mplayer & mozilla-player


In order to read the streaming in Windows media format (mms), you need to install w32codecs.

sudo apt-get install w32codecs


Enjoy!
