page which launches the webcast (if that makes sense) then the link looks 
like 
http://ri.mediaondemand.net/handler.aspx?UserID=4568&SiteID=1&EventID=921
Xine appears to load it without complaint, but nothing plays.

If I load the same URL into Kaffeine, then I get

So it looks like Kaffeine at least is following the URLS and getting the 
one-time password and then failing.
