The long-awaited version 2.2 of Flip4Mac has been released. The new version has a variety of new features. Full release notes are here, but the new playback features are:
-
Added JavaScript support to the browser plugins
-
Added support for URL Stream Scripting
-
Improved ASX handling
-
Improved support for MMS servers and live streams
-
Improved compatibility with many different web sites
-
Removed the user enabled "Create Streaming Movies" preference
-
Added support for manual Deactivation/Reactivation
-
Fixed potential security issue reported by Drew Yao where an attacker could potentially cause a security issue by deliberately malforming WMV files.
The biggie of course is support for JavaScript, which means many pages that used scripting of the Windows Media OCX component will now work with Flip4Mac. There are a variety of other compatibility impovements for other sites.
As always, provide feedback to Telestream if you find any sites that still aren't compatible with Flip4Mac 2.2.
