Down loaded 0.9.8 and deleted preferances before starting the first time, seams to work ok on my g4 imac 10.4.11
only wished apple had built in usb 2 and bt 1.2, either upgradeable, boy is my overpriced computer getting 'old'.
I have a G4 imac 10.4 VLC 9.6 and having the same problem. There must be a non-existent font issue, I hope. None of the Discovery Services work/show up, either.
The no video problem, I first had, was resolved by resetting the preferences defaults.
I am having the same problem streaming a feed from http://telegasy4.rktmb.org:8000/telegasy.ogg
I get a couple of seconds of video then it stops, but the streaming of data continues as I watch the activity monitor app on Mac. I do not understand why there is no buffer.
