Macworld has a review of the player and some of the options it offers, such as how to handle WMV files embedded in a web page, and the fact that you can jog (frame-by-frame) through WMV files using QuickTime's controls - even on movies embedded in a site. There are four tools in the set, and prices start at $10 for the basic player, while the tools to edit Windows Media files in QuickTime or other apps like Final Cut Pro start at $99. Laurie reported on Flip4Mac WMV back in April, but since it's such a handy app and it's having another go around the news channels, I figured it was worth a refresher here: Flip4Mac WMV is a series of media tools that allow you to play and/or edit Windows Media files (including high definition) in QuickTime and QuickTime-based apps. I read a post by Eric Root here in the Community, where he said that Safari, Chrome, and other browsers have dropped support for plug-ins. I can't enable Adobe Flash Player plug-in if I can't see it in Preferences. The exact same page on my MacBook does not show any plug-ins at all. The help page illustration shows a list of Plug-ins. Xfinity refers me to Adobe's help site (enabling-flash-player-safari.html), which includes a screen shot of a Safari Preferences Websites page. I don't know whether that makes any difference in this instance.) (Why? Because my bank's bill payer won't work with plain-jane Safari, but it works with Technology Preview. I should add that I'm using Safari Technology Preview instead of Safari. However, the Help page gives me instructions that don't match what I see in Preferences. The site prompts me to enable the Flash player, which I have installed and updated. Flash player plug-in I'm trying to watch TV on my Mac-specifically, Xfinity.
