I get this error message in safari when I try to watch videos on this site http://www.tv-links.co.uk/
can anyone help me

the page “TV Links - Video” has content of MIME type “video/divx”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.

How do I get a plug in to play this video content. And how Do I install it ?

Download Perian, a QuickTime plugin. As I recall, it comes with instructions on where it goes — the same QuickTime folder that contains Flip4Mac to play Windows Media stuff. Unlike at least one other QuickTime plugin for Divx, it's free, and it handles more than Divx.

My QuickTime folder has only three files, two Flip4Macs (importing and exporting) and Perian. A movie at TV-Links started almost immediately.

It still does not work (Although some do. Let me explain:

I go to Heros .If I choose the intro episode it plays . If I select the Genesis episode I get the Safari error message.

Thanks for the help so far;)

Did you quit and restart the browser?

Edit: Could you post the Genesis link? I can't find anything there unless I use a search engine, but I don't think I found the right vid.

It won't play for me, either. Despite the Perian plugin, a yellow warning strip appears above the video window telling me I need the divx plugin.

I clicked Continue, then read some of the licence requirements, telling me that I should expect banner ads and the divx plugin phoning home every time it fires up.

I clicked on I Don't Accept, or whatever it was, and stalked out in a huff.

Kilted1, I dont think its your system or Safari. Here is what mine does on Genesis.

Goodluck.

Hi Kilted1, I just spotted this post and I'm interested to know if you've attempted to install the Stage6 Mac plug-in? I've no Mac so I'm unable to test. We attempted to test all browsers and OS's we had to hand but sadly no Mac!
Take a quick read of http://stage6.divx.com/forum/720/3055/ it may help or attempt an install from http://labs.divx.com/MacOS

I'm glad everyone enjoys Tv Links and make sure you tell your friends :D

Let me know how you get on

You need the DivX plugin, as requested by Firefox (see pic). I suppose Safari expects you to just guess what plugin you're missing?

Sin, there's an installer, but no privacy statement and no licensing terms. Does it phone home?

I'm busy for next 24 hrs with work so I'll try all the suggestions v soon. I'll try it on Opera too to see what happens.

Thank you all so far
