I copied the mms:// link from YoDude's TV Station website, and then opened a terminal and typed, "mplayer <pasted link>" and it played.
So the next test was to paste the mms:// link into the address bar of the browser and change the "mms://" to "http://". Now I get a dialog box that says "dbus-switchboard" handles this type, and when I click on "Open," mplayer plays the file.
So, a quick and dirty fix is either a bookmarklet or greasemonkey script that changes all "mms://" links to "http://" links. Combine this with dbus-switchboard, and your problem is solved. Well, except for the fact that .wmv looks like crap on maemo-mplayer due to the error I mentioned above.
Anyone want to write the javascript?
