Windblows Media Player

edited April 2008 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
OK so I have a .wmv movie embedded in a discussion, on my Mac it plays in place, as I expect and as it should.

However, on a PC in both IE and Safari, it plays externally in Windows Media Player.

Where is the setting to tell it to play in the discussion? I don't want it to launch the player.

  • Tools->Internet Options, advanced tab. Scroll 2/3rds way down, multimedia section. 'Play animations in webpages' Don't know if it will work or not. I play all my media in Ubuntu.
  • Thanks mate, been there, done that, no workie.
  • post the code as to how exactly you're embedding it.
  • <object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=286 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"> <param name="filename" value="http://homepage.mac.com/jdebono/movies/Mandy.wmv"> <param name="Showcontrols" value="True"> <param name="autoStart" value="True"> <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://homepage.mac.com/jdebono/movies/Mandy.wmv" name="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240></embed> </object>
  • don't know if it matters, but you have your width/height in there twice, and the height is different in each.
  • Yes, once for the player and the other for the movie within it.
    Doesn't make any difference, still plays in an external player, will check it again when I get back on my Mac.

    In any case, I am going to convert the .wmv to a .mov first chance I get.
