Bob, Did you get any error messages when you tried to view the site or episodes? It is probably the Flash 9 player you need. Yep, confirmed. Blech, that show sucks. /me wipes off the cooties.
Go here: http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayerlinux or http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash
The site is slow too. You can also check to see if your distro supplies the Flash Player. Ubuntu does.
Brian
PS Now watch as several complain that the player is not free.

Hello All,
This evening my wife wanted to know if she could watch Passions from the NBC.com site. (If I can't get this to work she'll start in again with the "Get a real computer" campaign. ;-] )
I currently run Linspire 5, to keep her slightly happier than a non-Windows Lemming oriented distribution would. I have their Mozilla Suite, Firefox 2.0.0.4, and Opera 9.10 installed. None of them will play any video at NBC.com. If it helps, Mozilla says that I have "libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_04" installed for Java.
Is it possible to view NBC.com videos using Linux? Could I be missing a plug-in?
Personally, I could care less about this, but the wife insists on knowing.
Any help appreciated,
Bob Kennedy
