"Save Link URL" in my browser, then in my xterm windows: $ mplayer <middle-mouse-click> It will buffer for a few seconds and play the stream. Hopefully it can download it faster than it plays. In the Galeon preferences under the Mime-types section there is an option called "Process URL" which will load the helper application with thethe URL instead of the temp file it saves. I'm assuming Mozilla is the same. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
