Vince - Easily set internet protocol helper applications
Authored by: bluehz on Jul 18, '03 10:51:11AM

MoreInternet is definitely teh way to go. Its all still a big mystery as to why some things work and some do not. For instance why is it that .pls files (like for streaming radio stations) are downloaded and associated with iTunes - but they never launch iTunes after d/l. So you have to click the link on a web page, then find the downloaded .pls, double-click that to open it in iTunes. Try it here: http://somafm.com/

Also - I have never seen MisFox - but it looks pretty good. Tried it out and it has some issues. Like in some case you can choose applications in the dialogs, but they don't stick. Never get written out to prefs.

iTunes auto-play .pls
Authored by: sylvank on Jul 18, '03 02:38:51PM
To make iTunes autoplay .pls files:

  • Open Safari preferences
  • Under "General", click "Open 'safe' files after downloading".

If anyone knows how to specify what are "safe" files or not... :-)

"safe" files for Safari

Seems like EyeTV would automatically load TitanTV .tvpi and .tvvi files if Safari's "safe" file list could be modified to recognize them.
