Mime browser plugin for safari

hi i tried to listen to streaming audio from the website of one of my local fm radio stations where i live and this is the message i'm getting. The page “::.. C95 - Listen Live ..::” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page: then it gives the url: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/
i tried to find the plugin on the website but i couldn't find it, and tried downloading windows media player 9 for OS X and it won't install. the thing its that the install file has the extention .stix. how can i find the plugin?
thanks in advance
Cale

Hi Cale,
The only way you'll be able to play Windows Media content in native mode on your Intel machine is using the free plug-in Flip4Mac plug-in. This converts the Windows media files to a QuickTime format.
Beyond that, playing videos on Safari can be challenging in some instances. A good browser alternative. when Safari does not handle site content, is either Firefox 2.0 or Camino.
Also, some web sites code their media specific to the Windows platform. In these instances, no Mac browser will help you.
If no joy after installing the Flip4Mac plug-in, post the URL and I'll try the station from my machine.
One other note about "flip4mac". The preference file for the Plug-in resides in System Preferences. After installing the plug-in, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Once done, go to System Preferences>Flip4Mac and make sure the 1st and 3rd boxes are selected in the Plug-in panel, and the 1st box in the Movie panel.

  • Plugins for Safari

    Hello,
    When I visit some webpages and click on video links I get a message like this:
    ... has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I do have the Real Audio player but what do I do to get a realaudio plugin for Safari?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The content may not be Mac compatible. Before going
    down that path:
    An alias file of the plug-in ought to be in your
    Internet Plug-ins folder - RealPlayer
    Plugin.plugin. Does one exist in your system?
    This file connects to the original file buried in
    the RealPlayer application.
    If it does exist, open Real Player by double clicking
    on the application in your Applications folder. Then
    open the Preferences file>Internet panel:
    Internet Settings - 1st and 3rd boxes checked
    Web Browser settings - all boxes checked
    Media Types - first four boxes checked.
    Close the preference file, quit RealPlayer. Restart
    Safari.
    If the alias plug-in does not exist, go to the
    Applications folder>RealPlayer.app>right click
    to open Contextual Menu>Show package
    contents>Contents>MacOS. In that folder you ought to
    see the actual plug-in. Single-click on the plug-in,
    holding down the option/Apple keys. Then drag to the
    desktop. This creates an alias of the file. Next
    drag that file to your Internet Plug-ins folder
    (either Main or User Library where your other
    plug-ins exist) and drop it there. Restart Safari
    and try a video or audio feed triggering RealPlayer
    (NPR is a good choice).
    If the content does not play, please post a URL so I
    can test from here.
    Thank you for your help.
    I downloaded the real player app and ctrl click on the icon to see the content files. Your directions were very good and much appreciated. - Barry

  • Image resize plugin for Safari

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a plugin for Safari that would resize images so that they fit in the browser window?? I have done some searching on Google but cannot find anything. I am wondering if perhaps it hasn’t been developed yet? I think that it would be a great idea as I know many people who would use it.
    Anyway, hoping someone can help me out here. Love Apple and all their products!
    www.jacomputing.net

    Jesse, what is the purpose for the resized image: for example, is this
    for images you want to display on your web site, or is it for images when you are cruising the web?
    If you want to enlarge images on your web site, but keep them to scale, you can set either the width or the height attribute (not both!) to a percentage; which, actually, represents the percentage width or height of the document body.
    You can either set this in your style sheet, or in the image tag (the traditional way). Let's say in the style sheet, you set your body width to 50% of the available space and centered it; and you set the image to 80% width; the image would actually be about 40% of the available width (.80 x 50%).
    The problem with setting this across the board for every image that you come across is that if the image is small in the first place, like a button, it will likely be blown out (pixelated), if made to be 80% width, for example. So you would probably still want to individually control each image.
    Is that what you had in mind, or something else?

  • Plugin for Safari 3 Popup

    Hi,
    i tried every browser on the market from firefox to icab, also safari 3.
    Safari 3 works perfect, only the cache and popupblocker is not so good.
    I read in the web about plugins for safari. To block popup. Like Adblock.
    Is this plugin usefull - or can this plugin safari damage, so that after an
    update safari never start?
    Sorry my englisch typing is not so good.
    But in the new jeahr will safari 4 comes out and so will i ask,
    what is the better way. To wait for version 4 without plugin? or
    have you test it.
    best whishes for 2009

    Hi ubnit5,
    Is this plugin usefull - or can this plugin safari damage, so that after an update safari never start?
    Yes, it's possible that extensions like these can break updates to Safari. As long as you keep this in mind though, you can always remove the extension after Safari has been updated if it fails to load.
    To wait for version 4 without plugin? or have you test it.
    Everyone here is just a regular user like yourself. We have no more knowledge than you as to when Safari 4 will be released. You might be waiting a long time
    Happy New Year to you as well!
    PS. Many people from around the world help out here, so feel free to post in your native language as well (but admittedly, most are English speakers).

  • How to reinstall Quicktime Plugin for Safari in Mac

    I recently deleted all plugins for Safari in Mac, in order to fix unusual (slow at times) speed of safari.
    When I watch a trailer at apple.com/trailers, it works fine.
    However, when I try to watch a HD version of the trailer, I get this message
    "The document “stone-fte1_480p.mov” could not be opened. "
    Please advise how to reinstall the necessary Quicktime plugin in order for it work fine like before.

    Hi and welcome....
    Insert your install disc or your Snow Leopard disc. It should open when it mounts the disc on your Desktop. If not, double click the icon.
    Open the Optional Installs folder then the Optional Installs.mpkg folder.
    Go through the install process. When you get to Installation Type / Custom Install
    Select QuickTime 7
    Click Continue. Restart your Mac. Then repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    If you don't have your install disc handy, you can download the QT software here. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923

  • Best Adobe reader plugin for Safari or firefox .

    Hi Folks.
    I am looking for the best plugin available for safari that will give me the functionality of adobe reader when viewing pdf documents using safari.
    Am i doing something wrong but i download pdf's to the desktop, i ctrl+click on them and select 'Open With' i navigate to adobe reader and select 'always open with..'
    Shouldn't that make Adobe Reader the default app for pdf's and not preview?
    Is this functionality carried over to safari, as in what i want to do is when browsing the web with safari, click on a pdf and have it open in reader.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If you have Adobe Reader installed, then open its preferences and select the option to install the Adobe Reader for Safari (under Internet preferences.)
    To have Adobe Reader become the default reader for PDFs simply select any PDF file and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Set the default application to Adobe Reader then click on the Change All button.

  • Flash plugin for Safari?

    I have seen many youtube videos saying you can download and install a Flash plugin to allow you to play flash on any websites in the Safari browser (not youtube but actual websites that use flash). Is installing this Flash plugin going to cause any problems? And if it really works why did Apple not install it from the factory? Has anyone here got it to work?
    Thank you for any help answering my question.

    There is a plugin for this but you will have to jailbreak your phone which as explain before its not recommended. This plugin was install in my brothers iPhone and I should say it did not make any difference. Most of those news videos that were supposed to work did not. In conclusion and in my personal opinion this plugin does not do anything. Besides, Jail-breaking your phone could cause unstable functionality and slows it dow notably specially when booting up.
    I would avoid doing this, I don't think it's worth it.

  • Annoying! SP Browser Plugin for Mac Chrome

    Hello Experts
    Has anybody successfully managed to remove the exasperating notice that appears at the top of OSX Chrome everytime you load a page in SP?
    It says "Could not load Sharepoint Browser plugin"
    It's not fixed by disabling the presence feature like many claim - I'm thinking this is a master page fix, bit not sure where to start.
    Any guidance would be brilliant.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi,
    you can remove this message if you add script to the master page that overwrites the following javascript functions. 
    function ProcessImn() {}
    function ProcessImnMarkers() {}
    The origin is that SharepPoint tries to load the presence information that are not available in Chrome.
    The other workaround is that you use SharePoint with Safari instead of Chrome. If you have Offfice 2011 for Mac installed. Then you have the extension for SharePoint installed. This only asked you once if you like to trust the plugin and you won't get the
    message again.
    You will also find the Web Extension in Safari if you go to:
    Preferences
    Security
    Manage Web Extentsions
    SharePoint Browser Plug-in
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards

  • Sun java plugin for Safari for windows

    Dear Friends
    I have installed Safari in Windows XP. I tried to load my applet through safari. It doesn't ask for signing and doesn't run the applet. Actually safari uses its own java plugin . Is there any option to use sun java plugin for that one and run the signed applets. please reply immediately

    We (Sun) don't have much experience with Safari on Windows at this point. Going forward, the new Java Plug-In in 6u10 should work with Safari on Windows, once Safari upgrades their NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces to the versions in Firefox 3.

  • Tinyurl plugin for Safari

    Is there a plugin that allows one to create a tinyurl for a page that is being viewed? There is one for Firefox, but I can't find one for Safari.

    Thanks, this will work, but what I an really looking for is a plugin, like the one available for Firefox, where you right click (control click) on a page and the menu includes a "Create Tinyurl for this page" choice, which when clicked creates a tinyurl which can then be pasted into an e-mail. Essentially a one step process. Thanks for your response.

  • Adobe Reader Plugins for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard

    Our software uses Adobe Reader to open, edit, and save Pdf Forms.  Most of our customer base is on Windows but we now have some MAC users as well.  Everything works fine except using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard.  It appears as if the plug ins are not loading properly or at all when Reader 9 is installed.  When a user goes to open a PDF Form, nothing happens.
    My personal Macbook which I have at the office, is Leopard with Safari 5 and when I download Reader 9, I can see the plugins in Safari and everthing works fine.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    On Snow Leopard 10.6, you need to run Safari in 32 bit mode to get the Adobe Reader Plugin to load and launch properly.
    To do this,
    1) exit Safari. 
    2) in the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
    3) Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog
    4) Relaunch Safari
    5) Under the Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins you should now see the Adobe Reader plugin support.
    I am able to get Safari to open forms inline in Reader this way.  I am not able to get the Adobe Forms with Adobe Javascript running in this mode.  Any insight on how this might be done would be helpful.  It does work in the Standalone Reader, but so far no luck enabling it in the Safari plugin.

  • Do you know any flash plugins for safari or any other browser?

    I often go on miniclip.com where you need a plugin to play an online game. I am wondering if anyone knows of any plugins I could install.

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • New Adobe Flashplayer plugin for Safari causing problems

    The newest version of the Adobe Flashplayer plugin eats up 15% or more CPU constantly and requires that I ForceQuit Safari several times a day.  These problems went away when I removed the Flashplayer files from Library/Plugins.  Now Safari is running like before.
