Mac OS X with WMP: problems to play movies |
|
|
Hi,
I have a Mac G4 with Mac OS x,v.10.3.8 and Internet Explorer v. 5.2.3 and
Windows Media Player v.9 series.
I want to download and play movies protected with Windows Media Rights
Manager.
I meet two problems:
1. If I download with Explorer, I obtain only on the screen the loading of a
"text" file!?...
If I download with Firefox, the loadind achieves correctly!!!
2. But in this last case, if I click on the icone to play the movie, the
only result is the following message on the screen:
Windows Media Update: In order to play this file, you need to upgrade your
media player to a version compatible with WM Rights Manager V7. Select View
Compatible Player below to see a list of compatible media players. If your
current media player does not have a WMRM V7 compatible version, you should
select a different player with the WMRM V7 identifier.
I have all tried without any success. It seems that it is a problem of
license? If yes, how can I obtain the most easily the correct license?
Thanks

It means the MIME types are mot properly setup on your Mac.

You won't be able to pley these movies. There is no DRM 7 support on the
Mac. WMP 9 for Mac stops at 1.3 :-<

So is there a third party player that will play a WMA file format that
requires: Windows Media Rights Manager V7?

Nope. Not on MacOS X (though I've never even tried reading these files
in Virtual PC),
