Sky Go & All 4 Streaming on macOS Monterey

datostar

Has anybody had success with running either of these apps on macOS Monterey? I can't get them to work with legitimate registrations. Sky claims that I'm running some kind of screen capture software (I'm not although I know that the MacOS does have a facility to do it but as part of the OS it can't be removed) and All 4 just sits there without opening the selected programme. Both work OK on a Windows 11 VM running on the Mac but it would be better to have them on the main OS. Others seem to have the same problem but none of the proposed remedies seem to work.  Both suppliers provide a Mac App so it seems strange for them to stop them working!

What have Sky / All4 said when you contacted them?

I run Sky Go on Monterey without issues.

Not their fault...

The Parallels program I use for the VM's incorporates a Toolkit which includes video download from websites; screen capture (full or area); screen recording with audio.  I just remembered it was on the Mac side. Probably the screen recording ability they don't like, even though I don't try to use it. I'm not uninstalling the package so I'll fire up Windows when necessary.

Using it on my Macbook Pro M1 without any issues. Its Sky Go desktop version 22.2.2

I have got Parallels v17 installed as well which is not causing any issues.

It's the separate purely Mac Parallels Desktop Suite which includes the capture software. I've also got MacX Video Converter Pro which includes a facility to download video from all kinds of internet sources. That has to be a major suspect.  I found All 4 on my Virgin TV Box and I can get Sky Go on Windows so I can live with that.
