On some system combinations, we have found that the embedded Media Player may not start automatically. If you cannot hear any audio after 60 seconds from when you access the Webcast auditorium page, you may need to either push the Play button found below the embedded player, or select the Stand-Alone Player.
Due to current limitation in the Flip4Mac Media Player, Archive Indexing is currently not supported for Windows Media Streams on the Mac Platform..
The WMPlayer component from Microsoft is not supported and it might conflict with the Flip4Mac component so it's best to disable or remove it before installing Flip4Mac.
