With all the other hassles, I didn't want to check and see if streams worked here on my server --they don't. The streams stall after a few seconds or a few minutes on my Ubuntu desktop. The youtube streams always worked before. No more. Meanwhile I have no trouble downloading source or packages at 110 to 170kpbs . But the streams fail: both audio and video. I have zero idea even where to begin looking to fix this problem. Anybody know? thanks in advance, gary PS: some audio will streams at very slow rate ... but usually stops after a few minutes. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org ethic
