Using either xine or mplayer.
(I only tryed Xine on that site, and only the .asx versions works here...)

Get the codecs from here:
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/

Extract them (with "tar"), and copy the contents to: /usr/lib/win32
(If the directory doesn't exist, create it.)
Set the ownership and access rights, to someting more sane:

for f in `find /usr/lib/win32 -type f -print`; do
chown root:root "$f"
chmod 0755 "$f"
done

And i don't know if it's realy needed, but i after that i did:

echo "/usr/lib/win32" >>/etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

Have fun.

Thanks.

I'm using slackware-current and had tried to view NASA with Mozilla 1.6.

The mplayer plug-in doesn't work when I click the link in the NASA
web page, but here is what worked. I opened a term in Xwindow and:

mplayer -vo x11 http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx

I did not try realplayer because
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/en-AU/linux.html#RealOne
indicates that it is unsupported by mozilla 1.6.

I've got Netscape 7.1, Slack 9.1 (should I go over to another
xterm and post from netscape news?) and when I click the link, it
says it needs to download a plug-in. I downloaded the plug-in,
did their install instructions, and under Help->About Plugins
it lists about a dozen versions of mime type java-applet and
java-bean. But the icon is for a realplayer or something (that
little squashed cyan Escher salamander).

1) is it worth it to go find a realplayer and install?
2) howcome it asks to install a java plugin
a) when it's looking for a realplayer thing
b) when it's already installed anyway
- which either (a) or (b) should make it not want to
install a java plug-in, and I've got both.
- but more to the point, how to make it not ask to when
I don't need java.

So, did I click the link wrong or something? ;-) (I know all
the FMs say, and I agree, the first place to look is at the loose
nut behind the wheel %-] )

Thanks,
