From: Rory on 25 Sep 2009 13:54 I have the same issue. I was able to watch shows fine with OSX Leopard, but now I am on Snow and it forever loads. First during the install it never says it completed. Now when I go to the same page again, the player says "Loading" and never loads. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, multiple times. So I sent feedback to ABC and have not heard anything back yet. Guessing they were not ready for the new OS. So far I am not impressed with ABC or Move Networks. I would think they would have some error warning code that would pop up after 1 minute of "Loading". I am about ready to drive over to the "Move Network" building which is 2 minutes from my house and walk in with the Macbook and let them know they are having issues. =)

In Firefox, ABC gives me a message to upgrade their plug-in, I agree to the terms, and then nothing happens. I just stare at the promise that my show will begin as soon as the upgrade is complete. I look forward to any advice. Thanks. Joel Zehring

I was having the same problem with Comcast On Demand Online (fancast.com), and I checked their help page. It said that the Move Media Player only works in 32-bit mode. So do a Get Info on Safari and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" box, and you'll be able to watch videos at ABC.com, CWTV.com, and fancast.com. The reason Firefox works is because it's still a 32-bit-only app. For caveats about running Safari in 32-bit mode, see: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/03/lost-your-favorite-safari-plugin-after-upg rading-to-snow-leopard/ -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** |
