Viewing online Canadian tv

I live south 100 miles south of Montreal and can watch over-the-air tv.
I try to watch Canadian videos online but the screen says download plugin.
Nothing happens.
After a search I downloaded xmms from pacman .
Now I have another video player. How do I connect it to Epiphany?
Will that work?
Or is there another solution for foreign video clips?

What network videos are you trying to watch?  What plugin does it need? Sometime these content are only available in a certain juridiction.  That could be the case here.

I watch CBC, english and french.
There is no other message, nothing happens.
There is no clue on the CBC.ca/television website.
There are live and archived videos I would like to watch.

I am able to view them in firefox with the mediaplayerconnectivity add-on.  For epiphany, you'll probably need to use mplayer-plugin.
