You should explain to her that NBC has chosen to intentionally corrupt all of their video files because they do not care about her or any other viewer being able to watch them. When she fully realises NBC's hubris, surely she will no longer wish to grant them the privelage of her audience. Perhaps she should get a real TV show to watch. :-)

Hello All,
This evening my wife wanted to know if she could watch Passions
from the NBC.com site. (If I can't get this to work she'll start
in again with the "Get a real computer" campaign. ;-] )
I currently run Linspire 5, to keep her slightly happier than a
non-Windows Lemming oriented distribution would. I have their
Mozilla Suite, Firefox 2.0.0.4, and Opera 9.10 installed. None
of them will play any video at NBC.com. If it helps, Mozilla
says that I have "libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in
1.5.0_04" installed for Java.
Is it possible to view NBC.com videos using Linux? Could I be
missing a plug-in?
Personally, I could care less about this, but the wife insists
on knowing.
Any help appreciated,
Bob Kennedy
