jPod on Linux
01/19/08
Kudos to CBC for offering a streaming version of their new show jPod on their website. Unfortunately the code to launch the viewer doesn't work on Firefox version 1.5 on Centos 5. This piece of convoluted code,
javascript:Nodes.pauseAll();Jpod.toggleAudio("off");
myLightWindow.activateWindow({href:"http://www.cbc.ca
/jpod/videoPlayer.html?maven_playerId=jpodplayer", title:"", type:"external", params: "lightwindow_width=740,lightwindow_height=460"});
which does nothing, can be replaced with http://www.cbc.ca/jpod/videoPlayer.html?maven_playerId=jpodplayer which works fine.
Check out the show and tell me what you think.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I am able to watch the jPod episodes using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibon, Firefox 2.0 with the latest update, so it looks like cbc fixed the site.
Ironic eh? A show about computer nerds that wouldn’t play on linux? :)
