[TriLUG] Yahoo videos

[Owen Berry]

Did you try VLC or Yahoo Music Videos on Gentoo? I'm thinking it will be
very difficult to get Y!MV working on Linux as it is very dependant on
Windows Media Player ... mainly so they can pump commercials at you
before you get to see any videos, as far as I can see. Of course, if you
got it working under VLC I would be wrong and interested in hearing how.
