WMP clips play on a Mac, not on a PC! |
|
|
I've embedded WMP progressive download clips in a web page, and they play
flawlessly on a Mac but will not (apparently) even load or play on a PC. I
know there are a list of possibilities, but I was hoping someone out here
might have experienced the same problem and could narrow it down some.
page is at:
http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/creative/amps/
chose "Windows" on the first profile as your player option and you'll get a
popup page. the problem is that's all it does....pops up.
regards,
Bryan

Uh : Because you're missing <param name="Filename" value="win_1.wmv"
/> inside the object tag ?
IE won't pick up the embed tag, only the object tag and the params
which go inside that.
It'll work on Firefox (on a PC - not all PC browsers are IE !!)
because Firefox *does* use the Embed tag.

Neil: Thanks a bunch! I'm just learning the WMP stuff and am much more of a
designer than a code warrior. I reallly appreciate the quick response and
the quick fix.
