Yes, mplayer, mplayerplug-in and the codecs from mplayer's site. Quicktime works, windows media works, but Realplayer, either itself or through mplayer, just will not work. Ahh, well - so it goes.

Are you viewing the BBC website from outside the UK? Also do you have ipv6 support in Iceweasel / Firefox disabled?, I presuming your using this. Do you have any extension enable in Iceweasel / Firefox or whatever else you're using that messes with the network settings? Try looking into all of these suggestions before you give up! Ananda
