For a while now I've had a problem the iPlayer plugin works beautifully on my lap Mac laptop, but not on my PPC G5 Mac.
I've sat the two machines side by side and checked all the settings, they are all the same. The only difference is that the PPC version does not have a setting for hardware acceleration. I've tried changing the video stream, nothing, The really frustrating thing is that it shows all the directories, says it's loading, then nothing until I get the "One or two items failed to play" error message. I'd find it easier to understand if it simply refused to work altogether. I'm now running Dharma rc2, on Snow Leopard, but the problem pre-dates this installation. From reading through the forum I know that there at least two other people having exactly the same problem, and have been in touch with one of them directly to confirm that, yes, it is exactly the same. I'm perfectly prepared to believe that I've made some sort of fundamental error, but if so then I have no idea as to where. Whilst not a techie I'm not a complete ignoramus and can usually sort problems out, albeit with help from on-line resources. This, however, has got me beaten and I'm starting to crack. So, for the sake of my mental health and possibly my marriage, can anyone shed any light for me?
I am in the UK, so it's shouldn't be a proxy issue
Many many thanks in advance
