Trying to watch the video streams on BBC.CO.UK

Currently Firefox is loading MMplayer to try to show the video. I've got sound but no picture. I've installed RealPlayer.....which appears to work but won't launch in Firefox.

Any suggestions?

yes, change your preferences to use mediaplayer instead?

this is a lot eassier to deal with, and i have yet to come across anything on the bbc that HAS to bave realplayer...

you could get the mediaplayer connectivity plugin for firefox and use your fav app to run all videos. I don't think it works under the release candidate. It did until FF3b5
