The plug-in needed is not available for my platform. Too bad. It would have been nice, though, if the plug-in finder had said so, instead of just recycleing.

My two favorite funnies about the French horn are Flanders and Swanns song to the Mozart Horn Concerto and a couple of Hofnung cartoons.

Looked interesting - unfortunately, the Super International Goat Track that leads to me meant that the performance was broken and bursty - thus losing a lot.

I have previously seen other performers playing large nymbers of this 'ínstrument', but his method of 'holding' them is a little different!

I suppose if my mother hadn't discouraged me from trying to collect lots of them myself when much younger, Í might have ended up like him...

Super International Goat Track --

sorry that was meant to be

Super Information Goat Track - under 4Kb/sec throughput is just not fast enough.

Being monolingual, I missed his name. I am sure I have seen a clip of him somewhere before years ago.

It's a fairly high quality video a couple minutes long - you might just need to wait a longer for the video to download - depending on your connection speed.

The way it talked to my machine and the s/w it loaded on demand, was as a streaming media format, and would not wait to play until it was fully downloaded, but kept playing in bursts of less than a sec with a minute or two between them - that's enough to kill any humour - I just couldn't last till the end...

Would realy like to see this in a sensible fashion, will keep watching here to see if that can be achieved.

If you wait until the whole thing's loaded it should then play smoothly. You could turn the speakers off and/or minimize the window while it's doing that if you like.

Sorry, Í cant stop it from starting - it's a streaming thread, and is not "held" on my machine, it's only just a few seconds held in the buffers - the playback starts as soon as the buffers are full - cause it AS-U-MEs that I am sitting at the end of a big fat pipe, not a tiny little dribble :-) - at about 2.5 to 3.5 Kb/s is what the stream is throttled to when it reaches me, and it plays at about 103kb/s - just no way to watch it on my machine from that source. If it finishes - to play it again it has to download it all again from the beginning - nothing is held in 'storage' anywhere saveable from, on my machine - just in the temporary internal buffers.

A thorough pain...

I've managed to get it to play - quite funny - I wonder how many times he's squeezed on of his testicles by mistake !

Hard luck, Foolestroupe! Sounds like you're on the information footpath!

Ouch! Dave

On my machine (Windows 2000) I can right-click on the box and stop/restart the playback.
