tech quest. Getting WMVs to play in firefox browsers for members. - GoFuckYourself.com

cspdinc · 09-12-2006, 05:30 PM

What we've seen so far, and we want to know if we're right or not, is that its on the users side to add the needed plugin to be able to view WMV and QT..

If there are any firefox pros who can shed light on this I'd be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Firefox pretty much knows what to do with WMV's these days.... however, if you don't encode them properly (missing the correct headers)... then FireFox will just try to display the contents within the browser window.

it depends on how you display them

try this
<object id=MediaPlayer name=MediaPlayer classid=CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95 standby=standby width=656 height=520><param name=Filename value=http://yoursite.com/yourvideo.wmv><param name=AnimationAtStart value=true><PARAM NAME=AutoStart VALUE=True><PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=True><param name=TransparentAtStart value=false><param name=ShowControls value=true><param name=showstatusbar value=true><embed width=656 height=520 src=http://yoursite.com/yourvideo.wmv controller=true displaysize=4 autoplay=true showstatusbar=1 playeveryframe=false loop=true></object>
