Yup, I get that too from that link. Evidently they want people to use
version 8, which of course is not available for Linux.
So - just avoid the http://disney.go.com/disneychannel/ link - bookmark
one that works, and surf from there. Most of the movies and other stuff
seem to play fine with the version 7 plugin....
Annoying though. Sort of like the "Best viewed with Internet Exploder 5 or
above" messages, which are also usually wrong.
