This isn't a QuickTime issue, or a Perian issue. MySpace uses a different player called FIM Media Player (FIM=FOX Interactive Media) which is related to the player that FOX Network uses on the Fox website (FOX owns MySpace). On the FOX website there is link to download some software for Mac OS X (if you need the plugin to view FOX media), but it only enables the FOX website player, but not the MySpace player. This is a known incompatibility with Macs, and likely doesn't have an easy fix. You may be able to downgrade your version of Flash Player to help, but this didn't help me in 10.5.6. The FIM Player appears to be a Flash Player add-on, and FOX network installs a plugin called "MoveNetworks Quantum Media Player" which definitely is a Flash Player plugin of some sort. If you Ctl-click on the MySpace video window that won't play it should gave you a version of the FIM Player that's not working. MySpace has been upgrading these players regularly - I've seen FIM version #'s increasing from 1.0.0.99 to 1.0.1.119. I think they quit working with Macs last summer sometime? I know of no solution other than using a Windows PC or running Windows on your Mac. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
