Description Ilan Tal 2012-09-02 09:12:47 UTC 
I used to be able to see on line streaming from Israeli TV using
http://www.iba.org.il/

They have changed their format to be more closely related to Windows components and Ubuntu 12.04 no longer works. I can go off to a virtual box running XP and see it that way, but I hate to have to use ugly Windows.

Can someone tell why exactly Totem is no longer working?

Thanks,
Ilan

You don't happen to have a direct link for people don't speak Hebrew? I only see a big flash thing there.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-09-04 17:54:06 UTC 
Yes,  a direct link would be good. Do you mean the old media centre at the top under TV ? that I can open fine in totem (it's an ASF stream) with latest releases.

Oops, sorry about that! It reminds me of a Greek friend I had who heard the American expression "It's Greek to me". For him it meant I DO understand it, not I DON'T understand.

I went to my virtual box and photographed it. You can choose to see programs which were previously aired on the right hand side. Likewise you can choose to see live TV if they happen to be broadcasting at the given moment. The screen capture failed to capture the program I was looking at, so the screen is black.

It used to be identical under Ubuntu and then they changed something (at least for the GStreamer I have here - if there is something else I can check, I'd be glad to do so). You can see that my screen is very dull, with only the message to update to something irrelevant. Even if Hebrew is Greek to you, I hope the pictures will be sufficient.

Thanks, Ilan

Yes, but it seems to be all Flash! Not GStreamer. It works fine in Chrome (not Chromium or Firefox) as it is the only browser with supported Flash on Linux.
Comment 7 Ilan Tal 2012-09-05 05:22:48 UTC 
Thank you very much for the information. I thought the Flash was a red herring, but apparently not. I have Chrome installed and running and I get the same error message. If you have it working, please do me a big favor and tell me what I've got wrong.
I have Adobe Flash plugin installed and I went to the Adobe site and they told me to download YUM, which I did. It wanted to unpack to my home directory, whereas it looks like its place is etc/pki and etc/yum.repos.d. Instead I went to the Ubuntu repository and I installed YUM. Still I get the same error message. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Ilan
