it shows me Adobe Flash Player*Â -Â Version:Â 16.0.0.305** Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0*
So am guessing Ice-weasel is unable to play the stream due to the flash version not being the very latest as in chrome.
That is one of the problems one runs in to with watching live video off of websites run by TV networks. Their sites are set up to be used by Windows users, almost as if everyone uses Windows (or has access to a machine that runs Windows). They often use, or require the latest version of some Windows created player software. The Linux versions often lag behind and you find you can't see their video. I had that happen on a site showing Olympics coverage where I needed to use Moonlight(?) which was the Linux equivalent of the Windows specific plug-in needed to play the website video. The latest version of Moonlight wasn't able to play the video as you required the almost very latest version of Silverlight (IIRC). -- Cheers!
