Hi all,
as in streaming audio or video.
I guess the same can be said for indebted audio and video.
I keep taking seminars with replays I cannot access and it is
becoming increasingly important professionally that I can activate video
when it is sent via emails.
I suppose that things like firefox and perhaps even ice Wiesel swing
this just fine?
I vaguely remember, likely old news by now though, that debian does not
have firefox at all?
Thanks s usual,
Karen

Try mplayer.

In some cases you can use video downloaders to capture the
video and pipe it to mplayer.
e.g:
url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQW87VU__Pc"
youtube-dl -q -r 44.6m -o - $url | mplayer -quiet -

I don't know whether there are Firefox extensions to handle this task,
but Firefox and Ice Weasel are the same program. Ice Weasel only
removes the trademarked branding from Firefox. It's a project of the
FSF, which had a run in with the Mozilla foundation over the Firefox
trademark.
Haven't confirmed, but I'd be shocked if Ice Weasel isn't available on Debian.

Well actually, as another alternative, you can play video in xvfb but it
takes some setting up. Many sites which normally I cannot play an exact url in
mplayer I can play in this xvfb way in which you call firefox from a
commandline, but you cannot interact.
Here are some lines from my .alias in my Debian system
# setenv DISPLAY ':99'
# no longer needed in Debian, slightly different Xvfb setup
# alias ff 'firefox --display=:99 -P nullvideo '
# alias ff 'xvfb-run firefox -no-remote -a nullvideo -P nullvideo '
alias ff "xvfb-run -a -s '-screen 0 640x480x16' firefox -no-remote -a
nullvideo -P nullvideo "
alias rp "xvfb-run -a -s '-screen 0 1024x768x16'
/opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay "
Hope that helps many of you
Hart

It is.
You may also need to install something like browser-plugin-gnash for
flash content.
For all streams that you can get an actual media link for, I've found that
either mplayer or vlc will play pretty much anything. And you can run
them both right from the command line without needing xvfb or anything. I
don't have realplayer installed anymore!
Geoff.

Me (Dallas Legan):
My friend Larry forgot to explain that this method is subject to
the stream being one that automaticly starts when the page is loaded,
which from what I've seen is considered good form, polite, for
pages for these things.
Also this depends on having a special firefox profile,
in his case called 'nullvideo' set up, which has crash recovery
turned off, so that it doesn't hang waiting for an impossible to
supply response that you don't want to continue where the last
session ended.
In the past tools like youtube-dl, cclive/clive had the capability
of taking a player command parameter, so that the video could be
played via the download tool.
Apparently in the interest of simplifying the user interface,
to my knowledge, currently the only 'general purpose'
(multi-site) download tool that still has this is get_flash_video.
I don't include youtube-viewer in this list because it is special
purpose for one website, or universal-streamer because it is
not a download tool (but obviously they should be considered for
use if appropriate when trying to play streaming sites.).
Currently I'm putting the polishing work on a script that uses the
quvi program, an interface to libquvi (a library for parsing information
on video sites used by clive), to set up mplayer.
I'll try to blog this and post a link here when complete.
Maybe someone else will beat me to it! (grin)
Hopefully this has been helpfull to the subscribers here.
