Hey all

For those of you in the U.K. that watch Living Tv and 'Most Haunted', does anyone know how to get the webcam streams to work on a mac? Am on broadband on my iBook, but reckons i need an asf video plug-in?

For those who haven't a clue what i'm on about, Most Haunted is a live ghost hunt on cable tv.

Go to www.livingtv.co.uk

then check out the webcams, cos i am struggling!! [starts at 9pm GMT tonight [Sat] and on again on Sunday.

Cheers for any help

Ghost sceptic, Chris

Do you have WMP9? That should be able to deal with .asf

Downloaded msn player 9.0, but no idea how to get it to play

Safari just hangs and i get the coloured ball, in I.E. it still asks for a plug in.

Tried to get it to open the url of the webcam address to no avail too.

Is on again tomorrow night if anyone can think of how to get it going?

Cheers

Chris

The cams play fine for me in Safari with WMP 9 installed , took ages to load after the slider controller came op though. If you look at the source of the page its an .asx file though, never come across one of those before.
