Can't Get Disney Internet Radio Station To Play in 8.04 After Downloading Two G-Streamer Codecs

I have the majority of codecs already installed and have no current issues with audio playback for any formats I have tried.

However when I open the link you provided....
http://radio.disney.go.com/music/player/listen_live.html

Firefox 3.0 under Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 crashes with a segmentation fault and no further errors in /var/log/messages.

I wonder if it is because of a codec I have.

I would suggest you download all the gstreamer plugins by opening System menu, Administration, Synaptic and searching for "gstreamer plugins"
Install the "good, bad and ugly" ones as well as the fluendo ones.

The try the Disney link again

Tony,

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I went and added the additional codecs via Synaptic.

Now, instead of watching the player run and stream but no sound, I get completely crashed out of Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 when the Disney Internet Radio player gets to the "Loading Lyrics" message. Again, this is at the same path below -

http://radio.disney.go.com/music/index.html
          http://radio.disney.go.com/music/player/listen_live.html

Going to the list of Disney Internet radio stations doesn't help, as all point back to this web site and player.

Strangely though, there is a Disney parent site "Music" link at the very top blue nav bar of the Disney Internet Radio site (represented by the path below)-

http://radio.disney.go.com/music/index.html
                              http://home.disney.go.com/music/index

At this Disney parent page music, there are very high quality streaming music videos with sound that run perfectly, one after the other!

I'm not a technical expert, but how I can run these Disney parent site videos with sound and the separate Disney Radio site is crashing (when all other non-Disney Internet radio stations I try work) is driving me nuts

I really want, in my family member's eyes, that the Ubuntu computer be the fully functional superior of a Windows machine. I'm a long way toward that goal, this is really the last piece of the puzzle.

I'll keep searching and trying, but any additional thoughts you might have would be most appreciated.

Thanks again,

Jackson

I tried loading the page:

http://radio.disney.go.com/music/player/listen_live.html

It loads for me, and doesn't crash, but displays the message:

"This site only works with Windows and Internet Explorer"

I have Windows XP installed in a virtual machine (virtualbox) which allows me to run Windows and windows programs in Ubuntu as if they were applications. Using Internet Explorer (and adobe flashplugin - the package is flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu) the site does load properly.

Unfortunately it's not an Ubuntu problem - the problem is with the designers of the Disney site. They've decided that only Windows/I.E. users should have access.
