ok, thanks for the kick in the rear. I looked, read thru the entries,
checked out the bug report, installed the add-on, set up the user agent
entry as described and voila.

Doggone those Apple folks. why would they be so stingy as to PREVENT people
from using otherwise-compatible players from seeing the trailer? Just
doesn't make sense in any way other than sheer meanness. I mean, what real
business justification could there be?

Thanks!
