There's not even a hint of it on the rumor sites, so it's probably bogus. It's still scheduled to be unveiled at the WWDC in August and released late this year or early next year.
Keep me posted on how that's going. If you're having good results, I might upgrade next week.
this mepis 6 is really nice(im pretty much a newbie to linux),
but it seems pretty good. When the beta2 comes out tomorrow give it a shot. then final release wont be out until june.
Windows clearly dominates desktop numbers currently, but as the article states the delay with Vista could give others a unique shot to gain share. Apple probably will, but I don't see much gain for Linux. Too few drivers and applications, and too many different versions including incompatible desktop shells.
So....how do you get Linux to stream video from MLB.com?
with flash player 7, looks like you need to buy the service from mlb.com if you want to stream live video though.
Even though I've got native WiFi drivers on my laptop, I'm still not completely satisfied with location management.
OTOH, running dual head with either separate desktops (my personal preference) or with one desktop spanning both monitors rocks. Windows will do dual heads, but I don't think you can get dual desktops without third party tools.
I bought the service and it runs fine with Windows. I tried running it on Mepis....nothing. I think I had flash player 7 installed, but I'm a Linux newbie so what do I know? :)
Maybe I'll try again after baseball season.
about:plugins
in your address bar, and it will show you what plugins you have installed, including the version numbers. In my browser, I see:
did you try with Mepis 6? it should work, i can see the demo file that they have, its the white sox winning the world series.
I can also watch Michelle Malkin on HotAir, with this Mepis that also uses Flash. i stream the Chicago Bears video and audio from chicagobears.com with realplayer, and listen to the streaming audio with amaroK(Audio Player)
OK, I'll try it.
I was using SimplyMepis...just playin' around before I had to do (another) Windows install.
That White Sox video plays for me too, but when I try to connect to a stream....nothing.
Hmmmm...
Mlb.com is exclusively Windows Media now, so you'll have to cobble together some sort of hack or emulation to get Linux to work.
Detecting OS...
In order to offer a broad selection of full-length music
videos on-demand and free of charge, MTV Overdrive uses
Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect videos
from unauthorized re-distribution.
Unfortunately, Microsoft's Windows Media Player Plug-in for
Unix does not support Windows DRM. If DRM support becomes
available, MTV will develop a version of MTV Overdrive
that works for your operating system.
Good 'ol DRM....
thats easy, Home is the home folder... just click the house on the toolbar then make the hidden files visible by clicking "view" show hidden files..... then go to the folder they say(HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf) open the config file and add the code they say and save... give it a try :)
Okay....I'll give it a try when I get home. You can do this using the Live CD, right?
->Windows will do dual heads, but I don't think you can get dual desktops without third party tools.
You were corrected on this by someone not long ago. Already forgot?
