Have a Question for Me?

Bill Tilden...

Excellent, anyone else?

All good here except…dare I say his name. Bill Tilden clips. There is a message that says "missing plug in".

Stotty and All,

Try now. In Safari. Or whatever without necessarily go to Firefox.

All working fine now. Thanks!

Thanks for this. The time for using plug-ins is numbered.

We still have to check some of the videos, as some of them do play just fine, while others don't.

Giancarlo, have you worked on any of the faulty clips yet as none are working at my end? I will download Firefox in the meantime (something I wanted to avoid as my mac is old an full up).

Shall I send you a PM if I find more faulty clips, rather than clog up John's thread?

Per a Q, here is how to get Firefox, a browser, for the Mac:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Note: Firefox is simply an alternative browser, like Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Opera. Or TOR, which is a whole other story, as they say.

Regarding the problem with older QT videos. It appears to be a new security issue where browsers check for plugins, in this case seeking authorization for running the plug-in that enables Quicktime.

Chrome will not run the videos unless one manually implements QT. Firefox prompts you the first to to authorize the TPN site to run a plug-in. This is intended to keep Web sites you visit from running malware.

This is why I hate Apple. And Microsoft. Update = Break something that works.

GC, Jeff,

Can we do anything to counter corporate bloat?

[stotty]

None of the Don Budge clips play

https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/don-budge/

None of Tilden's play

https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/bill-tilden/

None of Kramer's play

https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/jack-kramer/

None of Laver's play

https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/rod-laver/

They all play on my Android phone that I have tried so far...

[John Yandell]

Amen.

GC, LC, DB,

DB, LC if you guys could be more specific and add examples we can address this. The Safin clip works great for me on both pc and mac. But as GC knows only too well I detest the bloatware update, so I am thankfully not on Yosemite--although I am sure GC will probably fix that when I am not looking...

Yes, if you find a clip that doesn't work, please post the actual URL here; that will make it super easy to fix (if necessary). Really appreciate all your help.

Many thanks,
gc

Just download FireFox from here:

don_budge, let me know if this works for you and I will download it if it does.

[giancarlo]

GC,

It's the old stroke archives, right guys?

I just tested the Pancho Gonzales files in the stroke archive--not the entire stroke archive.

[giancarlo]

I have an IMac. How do you use the Firefox browser? Yes…as far as I can tell it is only the old stroke archives.
