Unable to view streams in safari

Mario8672 · 10-23-2006, 12:14 AM

When i try to watch a stream from Gamespot.com, I get this message: Alert: The URL is not valid. What the hell is going on? (ps. i'm on mac OS X)

Help please!

And there's me thinking that Macs never give you any problems -- someone's been telling me porkies!

Well the OS itself is extremely good, the only flaw is compatability. Untill the day of OS universal applications... ^^

first off this forum is not a very good os x resource. Since you have to put up with posts like the previous one claiming macs don't break.

Check out the forums at http://www.osxhints.com

As for your specific problem, look in your logs.

Go to the web page and get the error again, and then once it errors out open up the terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities

Then type in the following code

Code:

tail -100 /var/log/system.log | more

Look for any and all error codes relating to safari and then google them to see if they yeild any results. Also, try it with a different browser like firefox or camino.
