Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I can't view wmv streams on QT X the url mms:// and doesn't work anymore

It worked on Leopard... no more on Snow Leopard.
Even if Flip4Mac. What's the problem? 32-bit? or what?
What can I do?
Thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

OK, I can duplicate the problem. At this time Flip4Mac doesn't seem to have a fix for this issue for QuickTime X Player, but if you run QuickTime 7 Player, it will work there. QuickTime 7 Player may already be in your Utilities folder, but if not, you can install it through the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard installation disk.

Regards.

I just did that. thanks

But in this site http://mtv.uol.com.br/noar there's no mms url, wmv or whatever in the source.
When Safari is loading the site, automatically the streaming starts once directly into a new QT window, with a unique code.
So I can copy the url to put on QT.

http://mtv.uol.com.br/noar
In the source - Exclusive player
http://video.noticias.uol.com.br/player128.htmx?asxurl=/exclusivo/player-mtv.asx&vd1=mtv_cast128

Is there a way to force Safari [or Flip4Mac] to bring the streaming to QT 7, launching a new QT window?
Was possible in this way 'til Snow Leopard.

See this site:
http://www.planetaturbo.com/pt/player.php?ch_id=277

In the source code:
http://video.noticias.uol.com.br/player128.htmx?asxurl=/exclusivo/player-mtv.asx&vd1=mtv_cast128

asx = windows
An ASX file (Advanced Stream Redirector) is a special type of file which works closely with Windows Media asf files.
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/files/asx.html

Then open this url in safari
http://video.noticias.uol.com.br/player128.htmx?asxurl=/exclusivo/player-mtv.asx&vd1=mtv_cast128

Then get the source again

Note: full of Windows WMV, WMP
It's not Flash for sure. It's wmv.
You may test it on a PC.
The problem is the secure random code. So I need that Safari launches QT7 instead QTX
.
this is the url and the random security code
.

Telestream has released a new version of the Flip4Mac codec that might improve things:

http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm

Some notes from Telestream:

"While support for the latest OS is good news, we’d like you to be aware of some changes in Snow Leopard that affect Flip4Mac WMV (see Flip4Mac WMV FAQs for more details):

• QuickTime Player X has removed export functionality to all formats other than standard Apple formats, including WMV. If you need this functionality, Apple continues to provide QuickTime Player 7.

• In Safari 4, Flip4Mac WMV runs with limited functionality.

• Safari 4 now runs in 64-bit mode by default, which causes Flip4Mac WMV to run with limited functionality. However, you have the option to run Safari in 32-bit mode."

Telestream has additional information here:

http://www.telestream.net/telestream-support/flip4mac-wmv/faq.htm

I can't view wmv streams on QT X the url mms:// and doesn't work anymore
