Unfortunately, the player causes serious problems under Mac OS 10.4.8. Safari 2.0.4 either crashes when playing or reports that Java is unavailable (it's installed and enabled, so something's wrong there), while other browsers like Camino show other weird problems (where the Java player causes the entire window -- or large portions of it -- to appear as garbage, even after changing or closing tabs).
Is there any way to test the player on these systems?
Sounds like you just did. :)

I've had positive reports from other Mac users, although I believe they were in FireFox. Do you know what Java virtual machine your browser is using? Behavior within a single JVM is usually fairly consistent.
Do the videos at metavid work for you? http://metavid.ucsc.edu/overlay/video_player/webview?stream_name=house_proce...
