Hi,
For the past month or so I try to get complicated embedded wmv working under OS X without much luck. I wish I hadn't bought this machine, but now it is too late...
So, flip4mac complains that it can't play this movie (on the particular site I am trying to get to work, but on others work fine). This is confirmed if I copy the url to the Windows Media Player 9.0 - it also claims that the movie is too new and that newer version of media player is required.
Luckily, VLC does play that particular URL. I couldn't find a firefox plugin for VLC - is this at all available? However, I managed to get the UNPLUG plugin for firefox, which displays the correct link, but when I click on it it opens a dialog box saying "External protocol request" and tries to launch windows media player. I deinstalled WMP hoping that it would ask me what I want to play mms links with, but it doesn't (it still suggests windows media player). So I would like to change the protocol handler for mms files to VLC. Where and how do I do that? Nothing like .mailcap seems to exist... Any ideas?
