Hi John, I have Videobox v3.5 & Safari v5.1. With Safari 5, you do have to Drag the URL & drop onto Videobox where it indicates “Drop Video URL here”, it takes a bit of time to start downloading the video.
This is Videobox weblink and explanation re: Safari 5.1 http://oven.tastyapps.com/ "Our other main applications (Videobox, Musicbox and Web Snapper) all should work on Lion as is. However, the Safari plugin will not. As a matter of fact, anyone upgrading Safari to the latest version (5.1), be they on Lion or not, will see our plugins stop loading in Safari. Again, that is because Apple is tightening-up the noose again. For years we have asked Apple to give us a true plugin architecture for Safari. They finally gave us something a little while back, in the form of Safari Extensions. However, these are nowhere near as powerful as a compiled plugin would have been, and so we kept our plugin (also referred to as a “haxie”) for as long as we could. But, again, Apple did not like this, and is making it difficult to keep doing that in the latest Safari. So, once more, we just can not continue this pointless fight. We are moving all our Safari plugins to the new extensions model, so new versions of these applications will be coming very shortly. In the meantime, you can use drag and drop to grab your videos, audio clips and snap web pages."
