In the US, Nbcolympics.com uses microsoft silverlight, so we cant watch them there yet. What do other countries use?

Its on the bbc so here are some links. They should automatically open up the in built media player.

BBC1 rtsp://212.58.251.101:554/bbc-rbs/rmlive-3gp/rtpencoder/bbc1_h264.sdp?service_id=bbc_one_london

BBC2 rtsp://212.58.251.101:554/bbc-rbs/rmlive-3gp/rtpencoder/bbc2_h264.sdp?service_id=bbc_two_england

BBC3 rtsp://212.58.251.101:554/bbc-rbs/rmlive-3gp/rtpencoder/bbc3_h264.sdp?service_id=bbc_three

BBC4 rtsp://212.58.251.101:554/bbc-rbs/rmlive-3gp/rtpencoder/bbc4_h264.sdp?service_id=bbc_four

Not sure if they work abroad as I am in UK. But give them a try :)

for uk users you can use the iplayer downloader, ok it's not live. but a good way to catch up.
(can work if you can make iplayer beleive you are in the uk for others.)

It does not need flash 10. It is a lower quality stream. Just copy the link and paste it into the browser. This will automatically open the built in media player. I watch the streams all the time. They are live and about 5 seconds out from actual tv.

I can open these links directly in Kmplayer but not media player. Its opens the video briefly then goes straight to the internet radio screen (the buffering screen).

Am I missing some functionality or codecs?

cheers

works fine for me, i do have the extra decoder pack installed though. (in extras) ... have to admit, the quality is realllllllly bad - will stick to the iplayer downloader :)

Hi!

In Norway we also need to watch the games using Silverlight.
In Ubuntu this works fine using Moonlight 3.0 Preview 2.
On N900 when trying to download this plug in I get an error message saying it is not compiled for ARM.

How come Nokia has not put a big effort on making this run on N900. Imagine what good publicity this would give this device!

On http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/N...light-support/ it is claimed that:

Nokia promised to support Microsoft's cross-platform multimedia plugin across its major mobile device products. The Finnish mobile-phone giant will add Silverlight support to Symbian S60 smartphones, Series 40 devices, and Linux-based Nokia Internet tablets, it said.

So, NOW, is the time too keep this promise!
