I'm using 0.9.4. When playing videos on VLC nothing is showed.

Messages console states several times: "opengl warning: could not lock OpenGL provider".

Any thoughts?

Your computer does not have Quartz Extreme. All macs without Quartz Extreme are no longer supported after 0.9.2

I see the same error message but believe I have Quartz Extreme, which I thought was introduced with Jaguar (10.2).

I'm running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) on a Power Mac G5 2x2.3GHz with an NVIDIA GeForce 6600.

Are you saying that my Mac does not support Quartz Extreme in this configuration? :shock:
Would you happen to know which Macs do support this system?

Thx.
