When I try to access the BBC radio player, I am now told 'a component needed to play this content is not available' and am given the option to try it directly in Real Player. RealPlayer then tells me that I require 'text/html'. Wtf? I'm just trying to listen to a simple audio stream (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio ). Does anyone know a fix? If not, I guess this is just a warning to others not to upgrade to the newest version as it worked fine before.

Hi Willed

I've just tried it myself with the new Realplayer update, and it's definitely broken with OmniWeb, but works with Safari and Camino. Strange.

I'm using Safari, although only version 1.03 as I only have Jaguar. Does it work with Safari for OSX 10.3? Annoying stuff.

Real 10 works fine for me in Safari, except Radio 2 for some reason.

I am running Safari 1.2.3 under Panther (10.3.5), along with OmniWeb 5.0.1 and Camino 0.8+ (nightly build). As I said, all works great except for OW. Radio 2 works for me although I'm not a fan of that station, just thought I'd test it.

Maybe you can revert to Ver 9? I never upgraded to 10 and no problems.

Luck.
