Absolute Radio

[Frogs Hair]

I just tried to use Absolute Classic Rock and they are now saying I need Microsoft media plug in to listen. I thought it was a Rythem Box problem , I visited their site and got the same result . no suitable plug in was found. I listened to them two days ago. Is it just me ?

Works fine for me with Firefox in Lucid on their website. Have you got the latest flash and the good, bad and ugly codecs?

Just added Gstreamer bad & ugly and I can listen via Firefox but not Rythem Box . I don,t know what changed in two days.:confused:

This will probably do the same, but try opening the url I posted in Movie Player. Maybe that will get the codecs. I think the mods will need to move this to a support forum.
