I just installed 6.5 and I'm absolutely impressed. It plays almost any Internet Multimedia content I try. But the following link (Heroes episode on my local TV station's site) refuses to play. Any comments/suggestions.

Nope,

a very 'intelligent' player detection that works on nothing but IE on windows, I presume....

Newbie or not Newbie, there's always a question

carlops: thank you very much. Yes I thought so. I know that it's a Flash video. Do you think there is any additional "tweaking" of Firefox to make it play this site?

Again, many many thanks for your help.

Bond: Yes it's the proper link. You will see a blank video screen and a message saying "Looking up player", but nothing will play.

I don't think it works in

I don't think it works in anything else than IE, I even tried it in Firefox under Wine -- didn't work.

BTW, please post on mepisloves.org this forum will be closed in 10 days or so, you'll need to register there too, sorry for the inconvenience.

It will run in IE6 under Crossover Office, but I don't expect that's much help! :-S

The heroes recap video on the link you gave me plays, and I can see the available full episodes to the right of the player if I go to that screen (it's Flash).

But, I'm having an issue actually playing the full episodes (even though the Heroes recaps work and most other video content on the site works, including the "test video" I found under their help screen, which was also Flash content).

What I did was install Prefbar in Firefox and select NS 4.7 Mac as the UA to get that much to work. So, you may want to play around with the available spoof choices:
