Great, I've now figured out how to watch Eurosport Player on a Mac using the VLC mediaplayer. I did have it set up to open Quicktime automatically, but got sick of the annoying time outs that usually occured in the last 500 metres of a stage. Plus VLC has way more viewing options.

Anyhow, I'm over the moon, if anybody's struggling to sort this out:

*Open Eurosport Player

*Select channel and preferred resolution

*go to 'view' and click 'page source'

*search for: objectPlayer+='<param name="URL" value="mms://livestream...........-mildl9jg" This is a fairly long bit of script.

*copy the portion within the quotation marks beginning with 'MMS'

*open VLC - file - open network - tick 'HTTP' option and paste the mms code into the URL box.

*Click OK

Voila! Hours of uninterrupted cycling!!

Hope that helps somebody, I'm a bit inexperienced with computers so it took my all evening to sort out. :) It may be useful for other computer systems too.

PS VLC is free and can be downloaded easily
Where\'s me jumper?
