My SlingPlayer for Mac window disappeared. How do I get it back?
If you can hear your TV through your computer speakers but can’t find the video anywhere on your screen, look for a minimized window in your dock. If it isn’t there, the video window might be stuck above the Menu Bar or off your screen entirely.
To get the SlingPlayer window back, follow these steps:
In SlingPlayer, go to the Window menu and choose Zoom.
Immediately resize the SlingPlayer window, using the resize handle in the right-corner of the SlingPlayer.
I get no video with any SlingPlayer on the PC, the Mac, or even on Sling.com. I can't stream video at all. Why? If you have video equipment that connects using an HDMI cable and then try to stream, you may get extremely poor or no video in SlingPlayer for Windows, SlingPlayer for the Mac OS, or at Sling.com. Even after you double-check all of the cables and make sure that everything works, there may not be any video from your Slingbox. This article explains why this happens and it includes a workaround.
Don't panic if you see a message in SlingPlayer or the Slingbox Setup Assistant that says We're not detecting any video or Weak or no video signal. Here's what to do.
SlingPlayer with the beta or release candidate versions of Windows 7 or Internet Explorer 8 If you're running the beta version of Internet Explorer 8 in either Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, you may encounter unexpected behavior. You may also have problems with the beta version of Windows 7. You may also have problems with the release candidate versions of these products. The finalized, released versions of these products are fine with SlingPlayer 2.0.3 or later.
