Blue83 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Anyone else have problems with Latics World on Mac (using Firefox)? Videos dont play..... Cheers Videos won't work on mac unfortunately, due to macs not supporting the DRM licenses required to play the vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have always used a Mac and a solution to this has never been developed. The only way is to install a Windows OS via Parallels or BootCamp on your Mac. This can be messy, but worth it just to get Latics World and commentary on matchdays. There has been talk of this being solved but I am yet to see it.

There has been talk of this being solved but I am yet to see it. All my PCs at home are mac. I spoke to Latics World last week and there is no solution in the pipeline. They said they had "invested heavily" in the software and there are no plans to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddymatt Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 same here, checked it out a while back with no joy here either I'm afraid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw76 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 same here, checked it out a while back with no joy here either I'm afraid... I would seriously think about installing a Windows OS. I know it sounds like a faff, but just to get Latics World is worth it. Bootcamp is built into the latest Mac OSX I believe so all you need is a windows installer. I know there is a slight Windows contamination involved but our Macs can handle it, just wash your hands afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll give it another go, but it was very infuriating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_carters_arms Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 guys it's not down to latics world anyhow its down to windows releasing the DRM to other channels such as quicktime or windows media player for Mac. Anyway if you need to run latics world then Fusion and XP will be suffice, if you need help call into the Apple Store in Piccadilly and one of my trained chimps will show you how to do it.

Lookers_Carl Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 What format are the videos in? Windows media? Have you tried dowloading flip4mac that lets you view windows media content? I have an intel imac and with this software I can access the free videos absolutely fine on the official site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boothebigrad Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Anyone else have problems with Latics World on Mac (using Firefox)? Videos dont play..... Cheers Get yourself VMware fusion (or parallels) and a dodgy copy of windows so you can run a virtual machine - works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
