What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/programs/
2. Pick a program
3. It does not play

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You see nothing, it can't find it. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 9.10, latest gecko-mediaplayer, it works fine elsewhere.  

Please provide any additional information below.
Attempting to copy the URL fails.  Strange, perhaps it isn't even there. 
Thanks for reading my bug report!

I tried the Lizard Kings video and it was flash based. Is there some setting
somewhere to set the preferred media type?

Terribly sorry!  My fault!  The newer ones ARE in flash!  Try an older one:

I think that pbs.org might be broken. I tried the sample and it gave me the 
following..

ARG: bgcolor = #000000
ARG: type = application/x-mplayer2
ARG: pluginspage =
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/
ARG: src = /wgbh/nova/programs/ht/as/3604_07.asx
ARG: name = MediaPlayer
ARG: height = 262
ARG: width = 384

I then used wget on the asx file.
wget http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/programs/ht/as/3604_07.asx

So I think there is a problem with their media server.
