Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / October 2005streaming speed
On a powerbook G4 I can receive high speed streaming with Quicktime, but not WMP 9 for Mac. Mactopic claims great video. WMP on my PC laptop has no problems. Apple says it's a Microsoft problem. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave. > On a powerbook G4 I can receive high speed streaming with Quicktime, > but not WMP 9 for Mac. Mactopic claims great video.

The problem is that WMP always uses the lowest bitrate specified in .asx files regardless of your preferences (it's a well-known bug). The only workaround in WMP itself is to download the .asx file on your hard drive, edit it with a text editor (I use TextWrangler - free) and find the links to the streams in there. Once you've found them, copy the one you want for the bitrate that suits you and use the Open URL command with it in WMP. It's painfully tedious, but it works...

I sent e-mails to everybody I knew and to every form on the MS sites I could think of. To me, it looks like they don't care more than they don't know it's broken unfortunately :_\ I wish they could give the project to the MacBU. At least we know *they* are real Mac users who know how to make an app for Mac. This is killing me, really!
