Hi Wakoopa. Your new version alert mapped VLC Media Player correctly only for
macosx 10.5 or greater. VLC on Apple branded machines have operating system
version dependent releases. The macosx 10.5 uses VLC 1.0.2 [STABLE], 10.4 uses
VLC 0.9.10 [STABLE] and lastly, macosx 10.3 uses VLC 0.8.6i [LAST].
The "Web browser plugins kit" version matches except for macosx
10.4 which uses 10.3 kit. The VLC download page is very clear about this but a
confused novice may not read everything and just click per your suggestion.
Heads Up 'cause you never know when the baseball-in-forehead will happen. Take
care, fairuse
