I'm suddenly having trouble watching highlights on mlb.com; flip4mac doesn't seem to work, and it doesn't really work when flip4mac is turned off either.

does it work for anyone else? I appreciate any advice, these highlights are shockingly important to my life.

(ps. I think this is different from a recent post about MLB.TV, they use a different media format).

I just checked it out on my Powerbook (see profile) running 10.4.6 with flip4mac installed. I didn't have any problems, aside from the video being a bit choppy. Audio/video playback was fine.
 
then can you show me your flip4mac settings, please? mine might be wrong - i don't know what most of those checkboxes mean.

edit: also, do you have to let the whole video load before you can view it?

I've only looked at the highlight from the main page, no mlb.tv subscription. So I can't testify as to whether that works or not.
The video streams fine, no need to completely load before playing

Here's what flip4mac looks like in sys prefs:

hope this helps
 
On a semi-related topic, I'm running Flip4Mac on an Intel iMac and I can't get it to work with any WMV from any websites. I'm assuming the problem is because it's not a universal binary yet but I was wondering if anyone else could shed some light onto it and if you knew when it would be ready. Thanks a lot.
