streaming problem

Silverlight is windows only for the moment although a version is being developed by novell for linux.
I cant get on to itv.com either but I can get to some of the shows like xfactor ...etc.
Here is the homepage of moonlight it isnt stable yet but should be out sometime next year I think.
http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight
Just for your information youtube, bbc ....etc use flash and that doesnt have anything to do with your problem.
oh and its Ubuntu not umbunto

Hope that helps

Thanks shane fagan, that solved my question.

thanks to shane i know how to spell Ubuntu but still cant get ITV.com live TV or video

Well what I said was that if its asking for you to get silverlight then your out of luck because moonlight which is siverlight for linux isnt out yet.

so there is NO answer to my problem ?

Thanks shane fagan, that solved my question.

I had the same problem Ian on C4,C5,ITV it never started up and always gave error message DRM 3325,I finally solved the issue by using the terminal to install HAL by sudo apt-get install hal,here is some copied info for you ,I think it should work it did with me,..
..........Ubuntu 10.x and 11.x Linux OS users sometimes see a blank or black screen with Flash Player 11 when playing protected video content. (For example, this issue occurs on services such as Amazon Instant Video.) A missing Ubuntu HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) module, which is not installed by default, causes this behavior. If the vendor exposes errors message, users see a DRM error 3323 or 3322.

Prerequisites for protected content playback

For Ubuntu 10.04 or later, ensure that the Hardware Abstraction Layer module is first installed using apt-get.
(Watch carefully for “hal” install errors, as a damaged package install can continue to affect video playback.)

sudo apt-get install hal

After the "libhal" (HAL) library install completes, close the browser and clear the Adobe Access directories by executing the following shell commands:

cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player
rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2

Note:
If the Hardware Abstraction Layer module is missing, Flash Player still functions. However, it cannot play protected content that requires the Adobe Flash Access DRM (Digital Rights Management) module.
