    Struggling with Streaming Video Feed

    My Wife (Not me) would like to be able to see the web cams on "most haunted live" but when i open the URL "http://www.mosthauntedlive.net/all.php" it shows the four video screens, and says "video is loading..."

    I'm running with Firefox 3.0.5 and have all of the plugins that it asks for. I can open the page in VirtualBox 2.1 and see the screens on firefox there OK,

    I can view other streaming media with no probs ie youtube, earthcam etc.

    I'll Bump this again tomorrow as I believe the cameras are off until 8.00pm GMT.

    What can I check in the meantime to resolve this issue?

    That would appear to be a bigger problem than I have. SWMBO seams happy enough to watch it in VirtualBox, but it would still be nice to find a fix.

    Same here.

    With kubuntu /mplayer plugin there is more information. I get the connection (to interroute.com) then a buffering message then the message "stopped".

    I think it is interroute. They are a Microsoft GoldPartner and I think the servers are checking what has connected and when it discovers it's not WMP running in Windows or Mac they block it. If that is the case it is inappropriate behaviour for a UK TV broadcaster which is, by the way, Virgin Media.
