    OSX Misery...

    Guys,

    I've been asked at work how to open this link on a Mac:

    http://www.elcorrillodemao.com/corrillo.asx

    Had a quick look but couldn't make it work... WMP plays it just fine.


    Any thoughts?

    What about VLC? That opens most stuff.

    That didn't work...

    Anyone with a Mac here would probably be very helpful.

    The site appears to be down at the moment so I can't try it. Have you tried to install Perian?

    It opens fine for me with VLC on Windows and Linux, do you have the latest version?

    I used 'open network stream' and pasted in the URL.

    Same here. Clicked on the link and VLC opened straight up and it played.
