    My thoughts?

    I think that neither Firefox nor Safari can load the video as presently “shown”: just a blank white box.

    Safari has an Activity window which says “A server with the specified hostname could not be …”, which is about as good a clue as one ever gets with Apple software error messages – but you probably wouldn’t be interested in my thoughts about the numerous shortcomings of “the most user-friendly software in the world”…

      Well, it is helpful to know.

      Have you tried Chrome? The video shows up for me there.

    • Pierce R. Butler

      Nope, no Chrome here (too evil).

      My browser (on a MacBook Pro) is Firefox 3.6.23, so the difference between my experience and movablebooklady’s prob’ly has something to do with the bigger tailfins on her model.

    I’m using Firefox 7 on a MacBook and had no problem with the video.

  • Sheesh

    FWIW, Pierce, I’m using Firefox 3.6.22 on an old, old G4 iBook and it “works for me” as they say.

    An error mentioning hostnames is usually going to mean the problem is DNS related, and not so much client software related. (e.g., Comcast could fuck up that sort of thing and it wouldn’t matter at all what browser is being used.)

    If this is a problem you experience often you can add some additional fallback DNS servers in your Network System Preferences, so you’re slightly less at the mercy of your ISP.
