Josh, could you look at this? Do you think it should be a blocker?

Comment 3

[Colin Barrett [:cbarrett]]

It's possible this could be a flip4mac bug, since it doesn't work for branch or trunk.

Josh, is this one of the two mac bugs that was mentioned as a  2.0.0.10 blocker?  Are we working on this?

Comment 7

[Josh Aas]

I suspect this is a problem with Flip4Mac, they are looking into it.

Comment 8

[Damon Sicore (:damons)]

Moving this to P2 as we're not going to stop the beta 2 waiting on news from the Flip4Mac guys.

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

There is supposedly a flip4mac beta at http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_beta_feedback.htm that claims to fix Leopard issues; should give that a shot.

Don't have a fix, can't see this making 2.0.0.10

I work on the Flip4Mac team, and I recently gave instructions to Josh Aas on where to get the latest Flip4Mac WMV plugin.  Can someone get the latest plugin and test it?  Alternatively, email me and I'll give you the address of the plugin (very close to a release candidate).

Leopard 10.5.1, using Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin 2.2 Beta and Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007111604 Minefield/3.0b2pre, the content shows fine. Will check on Leopard Intel Mac as well.

Leopard 10.5.1, using Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin 2.2 Beta and Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10pre) Gecko/2007112006 BonEcho/2.0.0.10pre, the content renders fine. I can resolve this, but since the version I tested is still a beta release it might be best to just keep this open until it is released as final.

Comment 16

[Mike Schroepfer]

Should we move this off our blocker list since this seems to not be a problem in our stuff...

Comment 17

[Greg Wishart]

This could be because due to the web site playing two or more videos that are different resolutions.

For example, their video bumper of http://podcast.cnbc.com.edgesuite.net/cnbc-video-bumper.wmv may be a different size than the video that plays after it.

Not a blocker since this isn't our bug. Leaving open per comment 15 until flip4mac ships a fixed version.

Comment 19

[Greg Wishart]

Flip4Mac WMV has been released!  The latest version is 2.2.0.49, and can be found here: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm

Note: This release does not contain the SetOrigin() bug that Josh and I discussed, but 2.3.x.x will.

WFM, Mac OS X 10.5, Firefox 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1 with the latest Flip4Mac plugin (2.2).
