Winamp/Windows Media Player |
|
|
Hey There Everybody,
I've defaulted to Winamp as my main player. However, I audit an Internet
course that is broadcast using a URL and the suffix *.asx.
I have defaulted Winamp as the audio player through the file type selection
preferences in Winamp, and I have defaulted WMP as the video player through
the file type selection preferences in WMP. The exception is the *.asx suffix
which I have defaulted to WMP.
The problem I'm having is that when I click on the link for the one *.asx
program I audit, Winamp is the player that is booted. This would be fine
excepted that Winamp won't play the program. I spoke to the Tech people at
the company that broadcast the program and they stated that WMP is their
preference for playing their programming.
The only way I can get the program to play is to click on the link, wait for
Winamp to boot, boot WMP and copy the URL (which changes slightly each day)
to WMP.
If somebody understands why this is happening and has a solution, I would be
grateful.
Thank-you,
Ian

You'll need to associate ASF to WMP for this to work. It's an
architectural/security thing of IE's.
