Hi Nico,
The candidate build works perfectly for me.
Tested extensively with no issues.
Thanks for your hard work.

Nicholas-M, finally some news, and the good news is it works!
Thank you for posting the fix here, but I strongly advise you to e-mail ALL users *and* post about the update on social media... I take back nothing I've said about the shoddy and slow handling of this issue, and whilst I'm pleased there's finally a fix I know there will be many users who don't read these forums and are left out in the cold. To redeam yourselves as a company a little you could take a principled stand by publically admitting the fault (in a dedicated post that will be seen, not just replying to individual complaints) and announcing the fix. That's my advice, which you are free to ignore...
Btw, what about PC users who have the issue?

Clef, I asked this question to a NOWTV operative on their Twitter 'help' account. They said something about it not being something they were able to deal with and very quickly changed the subject...

I was going to post a message to say that the new version of the player had started working OK after leaving it alone for 24 hours and watching Netflix instead, but then it developed a whole new problem where it displayed a blank green screen. Then I left it alone for a few hours again and now it's working OK again but I wonder for how long? I miss the ability to watch in the browser (although that was also a very imperfect experience).

Can you clarify if you still had audio when you saw the black screen? If so, we have a release candidate that hopefully resolves this issue. More details here: https://community.nowtv.com/t5/Mac-OS/Issue-tracking-Audio-but-no-video/m-p/439525#M3505
