I had an itch I needed to scratch so I have cobbled together this very quick and dirty Greasemonkey script which embeds a video player after any avi or divx video files so they can be streamed and watched immediately without downloading.

1. You need to be using firefox + windows.
2. Install the greasemonkey addon.
3. Install the Divx Web Player.
4. Install my Easyview script.
5. Browse Easynews and watch videos.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Only use the secure web interface…https://secure.members.easynews.com. I haven’t bothered with the normal one as this does have to pass a username and password in the URL and I think this gets stripped out for https and passed as encrypted. The NORMAL HTTP INTERFACE WILL NOT WORK.
• The script will ask you for your username and password the first time. This is stored in firefox for use by this script. If you get it wrong you can access it through the “about:config” page by filtering for “grease”. This obviously isn’t secure unlses it is your own PC so that’s up to you.
• Use the full screen button! I haven’t checked size of video so aspect ratios could be wierd until you go full screen.
