Well, that does not work. There is no video atall. The video link  
leads to an advertisement from VideoLAN. The VCL mediaplayer download

The Chat is Read Only.

Who is <sdkaaa>?

How did Chennai post their interesting question? I notice that nobody  
else has found out how to enter meaningful text into the Chat.

Regards, CW
