Problem

Unable to play webcast. Website tells me to install Windows Media Player, but I'm using Linux/Mozilla, SuSE 10.0...

Solution

  • Install mplayer using YaST
  • Open the .asc file in Mozilla. This displays xml:
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
   <Entry>
      <ref href ="http://domain.net/id"/>
      <ref href ="mms://domain.net/id"/>
      <ref href ="rtsp://domain.net/id"/>
   </Entry>
</asx>
  • Copy the line containing the mms:// uri into mplayer
