Script commands (URL) in Firefox with WMP 10 |
|
|
With an embedded Windows Media Stream - I have many script commands that load
urls into frames on a page.
It works fine in IE and Firefox - unless Firefox loads the WM10 player.
On some machines, it loads the WM6.4 player - and it works fine.
But, if it loads the windows media 10 player -in Firefox- then the URL
script commands open in new windows - not in the named frames that they load
into on IE (or on previous versions of WMP)
I have moved the stream to the same server as the files that are loaded into
the frames - so I know it is not a frames permission issue.
Any ideas?
WMP 10
FF 1.0.1

Does it help in the player's param tags to add
<param name="defaultFrame" value="framename" />
or in javascript, to use
player.settings.defaultFrame="framename";
Worth a pop. I've not got to the bottom of what is and isn't working
in Firefox yet, so please keep us updated.

Actually, do you happen to know what determines if WMP6.4 or
WMP(7/9/10) gets loaded by firefox ? I only seem to get 6.4 loaded on
my machines (a mix of WMP7,9,10 and win2000 or XP)

The problem is that Microsoft was very evil and said "oh, we claim that
many browsers are incompatible without our netscape plugin, therefore we
load the 6.4 plugin by default and only allow specially listed browsers to
load the 9.0 or 10.0". Of course, for actually no good reason.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\MOZILLA.EXE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\PHOENIX.EXE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\MOZILLAFIREBIRD.EXE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\FIREFOX.EXE]
Put that in your registry and you'll see that the newer plugins do work
very well.
