Did you try with the new flash update? I made a 32-bit installation of
Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, installed the latest flash from the repositories,
installed Moonlight 2.2 from its web site, however videos don't play in
that site.

For example this video doesn't play:

Perhaps what you are saying was happening with the old flash. With the
new flash the site's videos don't play even under Windows Vista 32-bit.

I think this is a messy site, to use it for our tests.

In summary, that site's videos don't work for me, even under Windows.
