Well, it will actually play on the Mac, but there is a completely visual dialog that prompts for download and agreement to terms. Once it starts playing on the Mac, I just leave it as long as I can. However, my husband has to click on the dialog if it needs to be started. I've actually never come across this level of inaccessibility, except, as in this case, with flash elements.
By the way, the Click-to-plugin Safari extension doesn't even recognize it. There are javascripts that can be used to introduce new plugins, but I have had no success in implementing these. <sigh> Teresa On Aug 30, 2012, at 3:38 PM, "Tammy" <tcl...@rogers.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have gotten the player to work with windows, but so far no success with > mac.
