Windows mediaplayer 9 dont accept login... - GoFuckYourself.com

Que? · 07-02-2003, 02:12 AM

Trying to view mpg files streaming from my site.

Worked fine in Win98 and WMP 7.1

So i got XP instead with WMP 9 kind of installed with force.

And now it says it cant get the file whether i try to launch automatically with a http link from the site or copy and paste the url directly in prelaunced Media player.

Uninstalling WMP 9 has been unsuccessful to say the least. more or less impossible if i have understood it right.

Installing 7.1 over is nogo.

Is there a security setting ...?

Or do i have to ditch XP and reinstall 98?

Thx

Argh....streaming clips are putting me six feet...

You probably bought It some time earlier than me, before 9 was released

There was discussion about this a few months ago, MS in their stupidity decided to completely remove HTTP basic authentication from WMP. I believe there has been a fix released since, check www.microsoft.com...

I bought an XP copy last week and it came with WMP 8

I've heard too many nightmare stories about WMP 9 to bother downloading it and installing it

Thanks Rowan.

I found this:

*******************'

Series
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series for Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Media Services 9 Series

This article was previously published under Q329149
SUMMARY
Microsoft has removed all support for the HTTP Basic Authentication protocol for streaming media in the 9 Series platform components.

This decision was made because the Basic Authentication protocol sends the user credentials over the network without the use of any encryption. This means that malicious users can monitor network traffic and obtain user credentials in streaming scenarios, because none of the streaming media protocols support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The 9 Series platform components offer the Digest and Negotiate (NTLM/Kerberos) authentication protocols as a replacement for the inherently nonsecure HTTP Basic authentication protocol for streaming media.

For content that is served from a Web server (by means of a progressive download) using SSL (that is, HTTPS://), you can still use HTTP Basic authentication with 9 Series components. SSL provides a layer of encryption to help protect the end user credentials even when HTTP Basic Authentication is used.

If SSL is not used on the Web server, make sure that Basic Authentication is not enabled. Otherwise, even if other authentication methods are enabled, the Player may still stop responding with the following error message:

Error: 0x80070005 -- Access Is Denied

********************

Just have to figure out where to unable the Basic Authentication thingy....

Did you download all the windows updates? There was a problem with one of the Feburary updates for WMP, make sure you have the one from early march I believe.
