    Has anyone managed to get Eircom's setanta sports video working? I have installed the firefox 'User Agent Switcher' to identify my suse system as Windows XP with IE6 but when i try to view the video stream i get an error message "Your browser does not allow execution of Active X controls.".

    I can view the video using my XP virtual machine but would like to have it working nativly....

    Thanks

    Strange, Im currently looking at Leinster celebrations using Fireox (v2) on Mac OS X (v10.4.11), so Active X isnt an issue. Player opens ok and I can use the controls. It did reject Safari though.

    Though Quicktime or do you have something like VLC installed? The Eircom site states that they use Media Player 9 streams, so you will need to have an plugin capable to taking those.

    Its using the Flip4Mac WMV plugin. Controls are a bit bizarre all right but it IS working.
