I've just bought a mac and for the last month I've been able to watch the Bluesworld TV videos. However, with the official Match Highlights, I can't find a program (including Windows Media Player for Mac which is total rubbish) to play DRM protected files as none seem compatible. So, erm...help! Please! feed.back |

As I understand it BluesWorld is not compatible with Macs. Unless you have access to a PC you could always canceel your subscription by emailing support@performgroup.com and explaining the problem. This is from the help section on World Operating Systems and Media Player Please refer to the following table for details of supported Operating Systems, Internet Browsers and Media Players. Please note that these are only the software packages we have tested Blues World on directly. Other combinations may operate successfully, but you must use Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player on the platforms mentioned below. Operating System Windows Media Version Internet Explorer DirectX Windows '98SE 9.00.00.3349 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 9.0c Windows ME 9.00.00.3349 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 9.0c Windows 2000 9.00.00.3349 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 9.0c Windows XP 10.00.00.4036 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 or upgrade to XP SP2 9.0c Windows XP SP1 10.00.00.4036 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 or upgrade to XP SP2 9.0c XP Media Center Edition 2005 10.00.00.4036 6.0.2800.1106 + SP1 or upgrade to XP SP2 9.0c XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP2 11.0.5721.5145 + KB900325 + KB925766 7.0.5730.11 9.0c Windows XP SP2 11.0.5721.5145 7.0.5730.11 9.0c Mac./ Linux Not Available Not Available The subscription content will only work on Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or above with Windows Media Player 9 for Windows98SE; ME; 2000; Windows Media Player 10 or 11 for XP and Windows Media Player 11 for Vista. It will not work on Opera, Safari. |

Thanks very much for the research and help guys. It's just disappointing seeing as the only reason why it doesn't work is because they encrypt it with DRM, which is pretty damn needless. VLC didn't work btw :/ |

This has been a bug bear of mine for some time with blues world. I was under the impression that when i asked about 3 years ago it was being looked at by ptv? I'm happy to accept if i've got that wrong though as i don't remember it clearly. I guess we'll have to wait until the rest of the world sees the light and dumps the PC for the superior Mac! lol |
