Site owners, what player to use in members area that also work on MAC?

[biskoppen]

I'm using jwplayer right now, but I get tons of complaints from MAC customers who can't get it to play

[CaptainWolfy]

other good and flexible player is flowplayer, you should check it out

[borked]

Jwplayer works perfectly fine on Mac

[Oracle Porn]

did u try jwplayer 6?

As Borked said, JW is fine.

It's your video.

Are you streaming a .flv with it? You need to be using .mp4.

So if my Mac Book Pro is in iTunes with my US vpn and I use my iPad to go take a shit and open iTunes by mistake, it kicks out all devices and says my account has a security issue.

The devices can't sync properly with each other from the iTunes library because of this. It's a huge pain in the ass. "It just works" my ass.

All of this so I can BUY music.

Support says there is nothing they can do about it.

I am using mp4

Maybe it's my setup which need some tweaking?

jwplayer("fileViewer").setup({
file : "<?= $video ?>",
provider : 'http',
width : <?= $vwidth ?>,
height : <?= $vheight ?>,
autostart : true,
modes : [ { type: 'html5' }, { type: 'flash', src: 'player.swf' }, { type: 'download'} ]
});

make sure you use the latest JW with MP4s like DWB said, but stay clear of 'ipod / iphone' pre-made converters, just bog standard MP4s with x.264 encoding, I use AVC and always need to use metadatamover after to tell the vid to play when buffering commences and not after full download. After that you should never have any complaints again

});

Much more likely it's your encoding of the video, what encoder are you using?

idk how exactly but set VPN in your wifi router , so all traffic goes via US VPN.

its going to be an encoding prob, had the same recently with someone trying to get mp4´s to play on an ipad.

[borked]

for info:
for mp4 h.264 streaming using *any* flash player, Flash player 9.0.45.x or greater is required...

[candyflip]

Flash blows on a Mac. If my computer locks up or freaks out, 99% of the time...Flash is the culprit.

Can't live without it just yet, though.
