So far, <a href="http://watch.ctv.ca" target="_blank">watch.ctv.ca</a> (and affiliated channels) provides a good selection of content that works very well. CBC and Global TV used to be quite good too...but something in the latest versions of their online video players is broken in linux-based browsers. I eventually found a workaround that someone posted in the Ubuntu forums. Basically, serve the attached php file from a web server, open it in a web browser, and paste the ID of a video on CBC's website (that's usually at the end of the URL in a link to the video) into the input field and submit. This works for live as well as on-demand videos. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across a similar workaround for Global TV - I imagine it would involve a similar solution, but I don't quite have the time to really figure it all out. The best I can due right now is view Global TV from windows versions of FireFox/Flash installed via wine...but that rules out fullscreen (trust me...don't try it). Is there anyone out there with the expertise & inclination to figure this out? It would really be nice to actually be able to watch Global TV's content without having to mess around with rebooting or running apps in wine. Here's the direct link to their video page: <a href="http://www.globaltv.com/entertainment/videos/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.globaltv.com/entertainment/videos/index.html</a> Regards, Mike -- ubuntu-ca mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca</a> </blockquote></div>
