How can I view sstreaming video?

[Gary Kline]

	Not too many weeks ago I had streaming video going (thru mplayer)
	on FBSD as  well as Ubuntu;  now I have neither.  The mplayer
	plugin app just STOPS after several moments of making its links
	and loading part.  There are too many variables to easily figure
	this out.

	I'm ready to use totem, totem-xine or whatever ... I just need 
	some clues!!  


	Anybody???
