Flash alternative for iBook Mac?
- by Hunter Dolan
I have a old Apple iBook G4 that I decided to hook up to my main TV. I like the setup because I can surf the internet on my TV now. The only thing that I can't seem to do is watch Flash videos.
Apparently Flash Player 10 doesn't play nice with the iBook's graphics card's GPU, leaving all the graphics processing to the CPU which is a disaster. Others suggested downgrading to Flash Player 9, I did that, and youtube worked fine, but Hulu (The main reason I wanted to hook it up to the TV in the first place) did not.
Anyone know of a Flash alternative or a Flash 10 fix for the iBook? Or even a Hulu client that doesn't require Flash.
Here are my iBook's Specs
Model Name: iBook G4 <br>
Model Identifier: PowerBook6,5 <br>
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2) <br>
Processor Speed: 1.2 GHz <br>
Number Of CPUs: 1 <br>
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB <br>
Memory: 512 MB <br>
Bus Speed: 133 MHz <br>

Mac OS X Version: 10.5.8 <br>
PS: Don't tell me that I need to buy a new computer. I know that I would have better results with a new computer but I don't want to buy a new computer just for Hulu.
