I've come back to this issue of the Fox News Channel videos not wanting to play, because perhaps I have some more information that might provide a clue.
Fox News Channel hosts a number of videos, and provides an embedding link to each one. About an hour ago, I went to find one. When my Fedora 12/Firefox 3.5.8 setup wouldn't play nice, I went to another machine that had Windows XP on it. I was able to play the video there, and to get the embedding script. I got it and pasted it into an article I wrote.
And when I went to display my article, guess what? The video wouldn't play.
Here is the link to the article I wrote, that has the embedded video:
Here is the embedding URL I used:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=4106724&w=400&h=249"></script><noscript>Watch
the latest news video at<a href="http://video.foxnews.com/">video.foxnews.com</a></noscript>
And now: here is what that script embed.js contains:
if(document.domain.indexOf('rightscoop')< 0) { document.write(''); }
And that's it.
