can't play streaming video   
I'm trying to help a friend who wants to watch Finnish news on his Mac 
computer. When I try it on my Windows computer, it works perfectly. When I 
try it on my Mac laptop, it doesn't work at all - I've downloaded the media 
player for Mac. I can watch videos on "Youtube" but not on this website. Can 
anyone help? I've included the link that I can't get to work. Thanks.

I immediately get a -2048 error using the FLip4Mac WMV codecs.
The [age uses a .asx with the following structure:

<ASX><ENTRY><TITLE></TITLE>
<REF
HREF="http://195.248.86.140/areena_world/89/63/896313_666606.wmv"></REF>
<REF
HREF="http://194.252.88.103/areena_world/89/63/896313_666606.wmv"></REF>
</ENTRY></ASX>


The first link seems to be DoA, the second one wirks though, I can copy
it and use it through the Command-u shortcut in QuickTIme player to play
it,

I suspect that it's simply a problem with the site, you might want to
tell them there is a problem with the .asx,
