Mike Rochip Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Help! I can't play embedded videos with any browser. I have reinstalled WMP10 and updated it. The only browser that even attempts to work is Firefox, which plays the sound but no video other than the annoying MS dancing boxes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Moderators Andavari Posted March 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2006 To see if the plugins are installed and recognized in Opera do the following: 1. Type into the Opera address bar: opera:plugins 2. Hit the enter key. You should see something listed under Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library application/asx * video/x-ms-asf-plugin * application/x-mplayer2 * video/x-ms-asf asf,asx,* video/x-ms-wm wm,* audio/x-ms-wma wma,* audio/x-ms-wax wax,* video/x-ms-wmv wmv,* video/x-ms-wvx wvx,* C:\Program Files\Opera\Program\Plugins\npdsplay.dll I don't use Firefox, so I don't know if it uses the same as Mozilla Suite to display the plugins: 1. Type into the Firefox address bar: about:plugins 2. Hit the enter key. You should see a list somewhat similiar to Opera (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2006 Forgot to mention that in Opera you have to make sure you have the plugins enabled by clicking: Tools -> Quick preferences -> Enable plugins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rochip Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 You could try this extension for FF. WMP in FF Thanks Humpty, I tried that and when WMP opens there's an error message that says WMP can not play the file. I think that maybe the hosts file is blocking something needed to access the video but so far I haven't been able to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
