    No Linux support. Damn. That means I have to boot into Window$. Why? When Linux has codecs for anything else you can play in Windows or on the Macintosh?

    “I don’t see anything that indicates a temporary membership is required. Am I missing something?”

    If you already log in as a MOG member (as I do), that’s enough.

    i cant seem to get subtitles. there is no pull down menu. using firefox. anyone experience same problem

    There are no subtitles for Audio-only titles, and the dropdown menu only appears for the videos. Sometimes you just have to refresh the browser to get them going if they don’t initially appear with the videos. And if you have less than 64 MB of Video RAM, it could be a problem.

    @ika: if you switch to full-screen, do you see the control bar at the bottom of the page? if not, you’re having some problem with flash. have you tried internet explorer?

  • ika says:

    I tried full screen but don’t see any box at the bottom. I tried IE but metplayer seems to be loading and loading and never loads

    @ ika -- sounds like Flash issues. You probably need to adjust some flash settings, and make sure Flash is allowing third party content. Google “Adobe Flash Settings” and play with the adjustments for Storage and Security.
