Bluesworld Macintosh Problems

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!

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

Please refer to the following table for details of supported Operating Systems, Internet Browsers and Media Players.

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
