Description Eric Carlson 2009-01-22 21:41:54 PST
QuickTime on the Mac and Windows can open MPEG streams, but the media player on both platform disables MPEG tracks they are not tagged as "audio" or "video". Changing this will only require an adjustment to the code in the disableUnsupportedTracks methods.
