    camino works for me. it says I need to upgrade but there's a big phat button that says "continue to video." what browser are you using?

    Not doing it for me here, CNN is doing a check before they let the stream through. I really hate it when the MS denizens think they are smarter than the user in every case. Then they use that "Were only here to help" line as top-cover in contractual limits with sites like CNN.



    Thanks for the tip though.

    fair enough. this is probably the main reason why someone was bitching on the flip4mac forums about it not working with CNN. sigh. ms people and their 'technologies'

    Reinstalling the player solved the problem for me... sort of.



    CNN's current video system is complete crap. Years ago I was able to effortlessly watch video off of CNN's website. Now it is broken most of the time. Even when it does play, the aspect ratio is skewed.
