Hello, my name is Shawn. This is where I put things. This site has been active since 2002. A lot has changed since then but basically I'm still writing ridiculous articles about ridiculous things. You can also look at my I just stumbled upon this trick last night and it makes the MLB.TV experience 1000% better on the Mac. Go to the Flip4Mac control panel in System Preferences and under the Browser tab check “Launch QuickTime Player.”
What this will do is launch QuickTime Player every time your browser encounters an embedded Windows Media file and open the video in QuickTime instead of embedding it in the browser window. I had never turned this on because the idea of launching a separate app seemed redundent, but trust me when I say that the experience of watching the game in Quicktime Player is exceptional compared to being stuck in that crappy little browser window.
First of all, once it’s liberated from the browser it instantly gains functionality. You can resize and position the window a lot easier than the large clunky browser window. You can also quit your browser entirely once the game has started.
Second, now that QuickTime has enabled full screen mode for the masses with its latest update (7.2) you can now watch games in full screen without having to use (or pay for) the bloated MLB.TV Mosaic app.
Third, For users that have an Apple Remote, you can now play and pause the game with the remote!
Fourth, and this is the coolest part. you can watch as many games as you want at once, QuickTime player doesn’t care, check it out.
If you have two monitors you can even watch two games full screen simultaneously!
