Is your working mac a broadwell CPU which has 6100 and later Iris GPU... 

They also dropped the Last digit from the numbering so it becomes 550 and 610 or something like that...

Interesting they chose Electron when it's only running on the one platform. Reckon they'll open up Linux support?

Don't expect it, with Linux running Even less DRM compliant drivers, even less DRM will be supported... Its likely to be even worse than the failure to support intell HD they did here...

And they will have to do Multi version package builds with each release which puts people off any way..

I've had a problem since installing the mandatory upgrade yesterday. They sent me a fix but it was for the previous version – luckily I was able to reinstall the viewer, not that it's changed the original situation. I get sound but a blank black screen on my Macbook. I've been told they're "working on fixing the glitch" but that was a day ago. Great.
