- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -5/+60i give mozilla 3 days to fix it. Mozilla is really good at fixing bugs really early. Great team.
- Ozmotear, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45Anything that prevents Real from playing is a feature.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32i'll tell ya where to stick it. ~_^
- Schrade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Release candidates for Firefox 1.5.0.6 are here:

Direct link to Firefox v1.5.0.6 RC1 en-US version here:

Their proprietary format has never played nicely with others, and they never had a good piece of software to support it. I don't care if they were the first in the fight, they need to just admit defeat and throw in the towel.
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16they both work good for me. what is the problem with those?

70,000,000 people and 30,000,000 people respectively. - MikeCerm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Is Real Player still horrible? It used to completely take over your system, screw up all your file associations, and then it was just terrible to use.
I haven't had Real Player installed in at least 5 years, and I haven't really noticed any Real Audio or Video files on the web anywhere. They used to be all over the place. Everything embedded seems to be Flash these days (Google, YouTube), 'cept for the occasional Quicktime, but I still keep Real Alternative around just in case.
Quicktime is something that I have to deal with however. Quicktime for Windows is still just as horrible as ever. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10i've always had difficulty with windows media video, period, in firefox
- acevoncash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10point taken. its been a long time since ive seen a realmedia streaming link though. and i always try to avoid wmp. i find it odd to see it such a rise like that.

Gotta love open-source ^_^ - OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm seeing very few RM media files lately. Most WMV and QT.
I mean movie trailers, game demos, etc.; I am NOT referring to the ubiquitous mpeg porno files that make up 70% of the internet today. - nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Real still sucks. Just to use the damn thing you have to register with them and jump through hoops. Forget Real, I have. If I see something that's .rm I run away.
Apple needs to make Quicktime on Windows better. It's really great on a Mac, but on Windows it's bundled with iTunes now for one, and it's slightly buggy. At least, it was when I used it on Windows a few years back. - ockabewis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Sounds like you need to fix the problem on your PC. This has never been an issue for me, nor anyone else I know...
- shumacher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Seamonkey (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/) is affected also, and expects a release early next week.
- dankers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yah this is really annoying. Trying to explain to my buddies why they cannot watch the videos; they are losing my trust in the Firefox experience and I find them more often fiddling with IE.
- siouxmoux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7As of FF 1.5.0.4 I had Problem with streaming media from certain sites.
- slut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6rc1 of 1.5.0.6 came out early today....
- beni, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Unable to play Real Media files? Isn't this a feature instead of a bug?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'd rather have memory leaks than an old and obsolete browser.
- CausticNoise, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@ Mike
Read this in regards to the "memory leak."
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009749.html - striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10I wondered why my porn wouldn't work...
- srg13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's your computer... I have never had any flash or javascript problems with firefox (or memory leaks either.). And why exactly do you want to watch more than one movie at a time? Does that not get a bit confusing?
- Skeithy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+420 bugs a night get fixed on trunk, a single bug should be fixed in no time flat
- PastimeGamer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I've had streaming video problems for a while now with gamespots streaming WMV files...
- yaozornation, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I clicked the link and there was already an attachment that proposes to fix it. Now to figure out where to stick it, and if it works.
- bat-21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I use the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension:
http://membres.lycos.fr/sethnakht/
Never had a problem. - mrvendetta1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I really wish people would stop telling me whats wrong with my firefox. Becuase nothing is. Nothing is wrong with my real player, cause i dont use real player, nobody should :P
- sproutworks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been having trouble with gamespot videos lately too. The movies play ok. but when I close the movie player window, it says media player performed an illegal operation. After that I can't click on anything and must restart Firefox. I'm using 1.5.0.5, and gamespot videos weren't a problem in the past.
- carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2they are flash based, is your flash player working?
- hookid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41.5.0.6 RC1, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED!
- rick2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2was wondering why streaming wasn't working ffs... i have been going crazy installing reinstall wmp etc
ffs! - Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Opera is another open source"
No; Opera is closed source. - NDFord005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@tuxuser
Actually the first link is to the directory for RC1 that contains Windows, Linux, and Mac versions....true the second link was Windows though..... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ CausticNoise
I have to think that is a line of BS. Opera performs MUCH faster back/forward page loading and doesn't take up 1/4 of the memory Firefox does. Now why is that? - Folken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I know from a quick test and the npmozax.dll here http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm or compiled on your own it should be fine. Make sure that these exist in activex.js

Good Luck! - sillywampa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have no problems with any wmp streaming content and I have 1.5.0.5. No amount of QA can catch EVERY single flaw. The same thing that you can't do may have worked fine in all test cases.
- gaberbruno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In the UK the majority of BBC content is unfortunately through Real Player, I'm using real alternative and have been pleased with it as an alternative.
I hope that the BBC in the future with a move to a new online TV that they won't bind licence fee funded content in propeitary formats or at least support an OSS alternative. - sExl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look into Jeremy Clarkson's face and say that again. Top Gear certainly has me waiting in anticipation every week.
- Mocib, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The video link in that bug report page works fine in my Firefox 1.5.0.5. No problems.
- gaberbruno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've been having problems for some time with FF unable to play windows media - there's just a blank space where the media is supposed to be. I've installed IE tab for now for those pages, opera 9 seems to play things ok.
- redxii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Install cygwin and do what xose said.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't even want media player or real media anywhere near my FF!!
If I have to see a streaming wmv, then i use opera, as far as real media, i haven't seen a site with it in years maybe back in '96. - tuxuser, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3thats windows only
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hm, I had a similar problem a while back, and it was fixed when the current update was released. *shrug*
- CFC1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't have any issues either with wmp steaming ... weird.
- golfe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For any Firefox testers out there, MLB.com should be the gold standard for streaming video. I believe that I read somewhere that it does more bandwidth in streaming video than any website. Even if that is not the case, a vast majority of its streaming video content is live television.
Unfortunately, to test it, one must have an MLB membership. - gypsyjoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nothing is easy for Linux.
- kamawell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Unfortunately the BBC site uses Real Player.
- juboodi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Then they are not worth watching.
