I am trying to run windows media player files on linux, but haven't found plugins for it. I have tried crossover, but I couldn't get it to work (maybe because of plugger). Are there ways to play this format without installing windows programs with the use of Wine? Remco

in a way you can with Mplayer at the prompt; mplayer -gui adres expl.; mplayer -gui http://195.95.30.139/StuBru2 the "-gui" is not needed you can place it in a script if you like and the adres you find in the .asx(i think) let us know if it works

Thanks for the info. I have tried to install MPlayer but it won't start. I've installed the fonts and the mencoder and the mplayer. When I start the application, it starts for a while and then simply ends starting. I've tried playing a musicfile by opening it with mplayer (right mouse button) and that works, but when I use the command line to start a file with mplayer it doesn't start. Remco

i forgot something "proxy" ,don't know if it's your case this is my script(hope it helps) #!/bin/sh su export http_proxy="http://proxy.telenet.be:8080" mplayer -gui http://msn02.cableandwireless.be/stubruhi

It works!!!! Thnx a lot, now I can listen to Studio Brussel, even in The Netherlands! Thanks, Remco
