Streaming Windows Media Video

Help! I'm trying to watch streaming video (ie live broadcasts of my hometown hockey team), but it only wants to work on windows. I use MAC OS X 10.4.6 and have to tried to use both firefox and safari. They are windows media files and won't run with an embedded Media Player nor will they run with Flip4Mac. I keep getting "unknown error." Help please!!

Can you post a link? Also list your QuickTime version and all plugin versions while you are at it. This would help.

Well it seems the Flip4Mac plugin can not handle the stream. I too have similar settings so you might want to fire off an email to Flip4Mac Support explaining the problem and saying it reproducible by and independent third party. Good Luck.

At this time, Comcast Hockey Live will not work for Macintosh users. However, we expect Comcast Hockey Live to be Mac compatible in the near future.
