Re: Coding a web page to provide link to audio streaming |

Any link with a filename ending in .wma *should* start the standalone
media player if it's available on their system. You can also use an
'asx' file (a playlist) to do this, so we'd need to know which you
were using.
But, there's nothing special about the way the player handles the
links - the browser knows certain applications should be started for
certain types of links (like a .doc or a .pdf file would start Word or
Acrobat) so as long as the app is installed correctly, it should have
registered itself with the browser to play windows media files.
You didn't mention the error message ("an error") or show any webpage
code you're using (or a URL) so it's impossible to diagnose this
further ;-)

information in the link address that will open the WMP and let it stream the
URL. I'm sorry if this is vague, but I'm trying to compensate for a web
designer who only has basic knowledge and doesn't seem inclined to find out
the answer for me. |
