Hi guys,
Not sure where/how to begin.
I subscribe to this international website with news/sports/movies, etc.
When I log in, there are menus and all kinds of shows/news to watch - kind of like on-demand streaming. When I click on one the shows I want to watch it opens up QuickTime Player, in a separate window, and after about 30-45 seconds it starts to streamline the video.
Now at first this would not work, but after installing Flip4Mac it worked fine.
Now I've been using this service for over a year on my iMAC with Snow Leopard OS.
Last week I upgraded my system to the latest OS X Lion.
This is what I have now:
iMAC 27" Intel Core i7 8GB ATI Radeon 512MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
Quicktime X
Flip4Mac 2.4.1.4
Safari 5.1.1
Perian 1.2.3
Now to my question. Since I upgraded my OS I cannot watch any shows.
When I select any show, the Quicktime Player fires up in a separete window and it sits and sits and sits... it looks like it is loading the actual file... and after I wait about the same amount of time it takes for the show to run, it starts playing but there is no video and no audio.
Here is what I tried so far.
When I select a show and open the Activity Window, I see the address that it's attempting to open as "mms://...... " and says "unsupported URL.
If I copy this link, and replace the mms:// with http:// and paste it in my browser, the video starts playing fine inside my browser (embedded) after about 30 seconds of initial loading time. How ever this is a very inconvenient method.
BTW the file format is WMV.
I spent tons of time with that website's support tech's but they do not seem to be very familiar with MAC OS.
Like I mentioned, this used to work fine before upgrading to Lion OS. I also made sure that I have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac.
Could someone PLEASE PLEASE help!
Sincerely,
Jerry
