[ILUG] [Solved - sorta] RTE's Video archives don't work with Firefox??

[John Kinsella]

Actually
after deleting the mplayer plugins as advised by John Moylan
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323089

and restarting system (shouldnt have been necessary but I had installed 
kernel upgrades which needed a reboot)

all is well - I can view video & hear audio archives and listen to live 
radio.

Cant listen to live tv feed tho - maybe network congestion???

Thanks to all who replied
