Might keep you going for a bit. Colin Carr playing four of the six suites. CC licenced, lowish bit-rate mp3s

I can't play the All of Bach at all, suspect flash related (gnash/iceweasel on Debian Sid)

EDIT: yup, flashplayer-nonfree works. This being HN, do we think a flashplayer based solution is sensible for a long term project such as this? Is mass transcoding at some point in the future likely to be a trivial task?




Poking around it looks like they are hosted on Vimeo and that the default is HTML5/H.264 with fallback to flash. Assuming that iceweasel has H.264 support (IIRC there is a way to get it through ffmpeg) you can probably it could just be that they are doing UA sniffing and don't recognize your browser.


Good for them. I'll hack around to get the required codec. Thanks.


I can watch them on my iPhone so I guess there must be either a fallback solution or something else. It was flash on my PC however.
