I did notice that I cannot always get to the first link if my ad/tracking blocker blocks "Brightcove Player". If I unblock the player, the first link works. Chrome loads and plays the THIS ONE stream just from clicking on the link. The second direct link causes Chrome to try to download the stream. Says it will "open it" when the download finishes, probably have to wait 20 years :) I have been aware of Opera but never used it. W10 works for me as well. Regards

I have not had a chance to try the link in VLC, but I hope to try that later tonight. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!
