VLC not able to read across the network.....

[John Toliver]

Caleb,

That makes complete sense.  Thanks much.  One other question.  Once I gave
up on VLC for the time being, I fiddled with Totem.  Got to Apples site to
look at some of the help videos and here's what happens:  The screen appears
to play the video but no video comes out.  I verified the browser knows what
kind of video it is (ff-3.0 beta btw) but still no video.  OK I figured if I
look at the page source it would tell me what kind of video the site was
streaming and turns out it's a ".mov" (default quicktime format) file.  I
plug the link from the source code into totem and the video plays no problem
(which is kinda cool).  So I think FF doesn't know how to pass the url to
Totem properly, do you know if a switch can do this for Totem.  I tried the
"--enqueue" and "--replace" options but they will start totem but not with a
URL.

Here is how it looks in my "preferred applications" settings: "totem
--replace" but like I said this doesn't work.

It's not a big deal because as I find it seems only a problem with the apple
website so far so I'm not interested in fixing it, but, conceivably, though
it could be a problem with other sites.  Is this yet another fix floating
around in Hardy :-)

Thanks again.
