Hey Richard, What about licensing one of those soup-to-nuts javascript players like JW Player in conjunction with RevBrowswer. Doesn't javascript and Flash run in RevBrowser?
I think this one has a lot of options: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ It appears to play EVERYA/V format, not just MP3s and flvs. I don't know how stable this lash-up is, but it's a thought. At least a browser is a standard install on both platforms and the meat of the display code is updated with the user's browser. ------------------------- Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2009/11/30 Richard Gaskin <[email protected]> > I have a project out to bid which is currently spec'd to require QuickTime > on both Mac and Win.
