First - thanks for the cool website.  Been bookmarked.

I briefly tried to start CBC RadioOne.  Got the same 
error.  Will try to solve the problem again.

I have no problems with BBC.  Now.  In the past, when I 
was able to get CBC RadioOne I could not get BBC Rado 4.
!!!!

All of my previous installs are listed on the screen
showing the OS modes.  I can't get into any of them and
will try to delete them after I figure out how to do this
without causing a total screw-up again.  These might, in
some way, be the cause of the problem. Not sure.

Thanks for your suggestions and publicradiofan.com

I normally don't have any problems on CBC radio one, but I've
installed a lot of codecs since I first installed Ubuntu on this box
back in January.

It would be difficult to find out why cbc is a problem without trying
it on a virgin install and seeing what codecs need to get installed --
but on another note, I have a parallel install of sidux, maybe I could
try running it in virtualbox and see how or if it complains.

Are you trying cbc radio one right from cbc.ca or a different website?
You might try going through publicradiofan.com; it has several
different ways to play content from cbc radio. Right now I'm on the
Winnipeg station.


publicradiofan is cool since it gives you a choice of formats, and
(usually) m3u is the easiest to get working in firefox without having
to use a proprietary or website only "media player" like the BBC does.
And often times, the url is buried way deep inside their layers of
javascript or whatever they have there.
