Someone said that this works through winamp media library??
Can I get some details on that? I'd rather not use IE unless I have to, and I'm sure as CRAP not installing any plugin from them for FF.

BTW, some FF plugins can hide themselves from your install list. I installed one to print a coupon and it never appeared in my plugin list, I had to manually dig out the filename and delete it to get rid of the plugin.


Edit: Looks like you can go down to
Online Services
then AOL Videos

then just search for whatever the show is you want. Like I searched for HEADROOM to find the max headroom eps. It adds them to your playlist (the streaming versions).
Unfortuantely they dont seem to play for me in winamp, gets stuck on LOCATING for the streaming video.

Blah, they want me to upgrade to WMP 10 to download OR play streaming.

Yeah, I don't want to upgrade my WMP 9 to 10 either.

No, not as far as I know. But I use VLC and MPC for all my media needs, and I hate messing with something that works perfectly fine. And the newer version of WMP might screw with the couple codecs I have installed, might take over file associations, etc etc, and thats without even considering if it has any bugs in it.

I have VLC and MP10 and there anre no problems that I have found in anything other then I am able to watch more online streaming content without it loking as though I am tripping on acid.

OH and so you know as far as bugs in it its been out for a long time now and 11 is comming out and as far as associating stuff with it it pops up a box with checkers that you can keep on or turn off that associates it with certin programs. And if it does its nothing more then right clicking on your program, clicking the "open with" tab, and selecting your program again and the tab always open with this program.

Linda Carter is da bomb, man! I don't know how old she is now. She made an appearance in Super Troopers (which is not that long ago) and she still looks fine. Whoever married her is one lucky sonofagun.

:( Thanks anyway OP! maybe I can use this @ work.. ? What is funny is they call the page "upgrade" which I'd have to strongly disagree with.

Any one know of a way to burn these shows to DVD. I downloaded one and can not find the file I downloaded anywhere. It does play just fine.

wont work on fresh install of XP and IE or Firefox with active x installed and everyting. I can't think of what could be wrong... the commercials play just fine. Even with the AOL download manager installed the files wont' play. I get an error message saying my protection licences are invalaid or some such bull. Any chance someone could host briso county JR soemwhere to DL?
