Cannot view or play audio or video coded for windows media player, and do not see javascript

I designed a website that uses a little bit of JavaScript. It displays fine in IE (9), but not in Firefox. Does anyone know why, and what the fix is?
Also, and more importantly, I coded audio and video files with Windows media player's class id. They will not show or (obviously) play in Firefox. I downloaded and installed the plug in for Firefox, but no change. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have run across this problem, and I'm surprised that Mozilla hasn't built a fix in the 4.0 version. So, any ideas out there?
Thanks!

Firefox won't play the media file if there is a classid specified in the object tag. You either need to use conditional code to hide an object without classid for Firefoz from IE or use an embed for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki><object id="(ID)" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<param name="(NAME)" value="(VALUE)> // enter parameters for IE here
<!--[if !IE]>-->

  • Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

    Hi All,
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
    When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
    When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
    What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
    Thank you!

    Hi Andreas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
    "The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
    That was WaterFox.
    The webpage cannot be found
    This in Internet Explorer 11.0
    The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
    When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
    When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
    Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

    Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

    iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

  • Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

    You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
    WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

    However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

  • Is there a downloader which can transfer video to RealPlayer, Window Media player, etc?

    Might someone tell me of a downloader which can transfer videos to Real Player, Windows Media Player and the like?
    Thank you,

    cor-el, now you are talking to a fool and an idiot when it comes to computers. As I tell people, I'm a R.N. and can take care of the sickest of the sick but when it comes to computers, well, I just don't have it.
    I probably wasn't clear. What I'd like to do is, if I see a video, I'd like to easily be able to download it to RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Winamp or the like but I just don't have the know how to do so.
    Might you assist me further, please? I've searched the add-ons on Mozilla and they seem too complicated. I need a 12 y/o kid here to teach me. LOL.

  • .mp4 video's audio won't play on Firefox, even with Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8

    Title says it all: trying to play any .mp4 video files, or anything that utilizes .mp4 files period, will have the video play just fine, but with absolutely no audio at all. I run a Windows 7 Home Premium, and have tested several sites that utilize .mp4 video files, and have tested it on Internet Explorer, with Explorer showing better results at playing both the audio and video.
    I have checked to see if media.windows-media-foundation.enabled is true in the about:config menu, and restarted Firefox, but to no avail. Any ideas as to what could be the root of this problem?

    Hi Soundless_Cyborg,
    Can you please specify an example url where this is happening, sometimes the video player does not support the codec.
    Maybe you need to set it as default for this file type:
    Open Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set your default programs > Select Windows Media Player from the lists under Programs > Set this program as default > OK

  • Since loading Firefox I can no longer access video replays on Windows Media Player. I get a message saying the material has downloaded but that it can't be played for reasons that are not correct

    I have been playing the video replays from Lone Star Park for years with no problem. I loaded Mozilla Firefox and now I can no longer access the replays. I get a message that data downloaded,Windows Media Player opens,but when I try to download, I get a message saying the video cannot be played. This is very important and I am thinking of removing Mozilla!

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • Video Streaming in Windows media player won't play through Airport Extreme

    Hello and thank you for reading my issue.
    I have the current square shaped airport extreme base station. My mother has a Windows XP system on her Toshiba laptop and she takes an online class which has video streaming for the lectures. When we connect to the network wirelessly or with an ethernet cable through the base station, the video will not begin to buffer and won't play from the website. It just states ready and doesn't buffer. However, if we connect the laptop straight to our cable modem without the base station, the videos stream and play perfectly. Anybody know how we can fix this to play through the wireless network? Thanks a lot.

    I've played with all sorts of software settings and configurations. This is what worked for me, but I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else, or if the issues are even related, but here goes.
    1 - Turn multicast rate to 1 MBPS in the drop down menu found in Airport Utility>Airport icon>Wireless Options Button.
    2 - Turn off multicast in Windows Media Player or Real Player
    3 - Turn on Video Overlay Optimization check box in Real Player.
    These things worked for me, hopefully they will help or give you some ideas for your own situtation.

  • View Log Function on Palm TX opens in Windows Media Player, instead of a new window.

    hi,
    when i clicked on "view log" after a hot sync operation a few hours ago, it brought up windows media player which, of course, could not display it. this is the first occurrence. i am using a palm tx with desktop version 4.2 and a hot sync version of 6.0.1. Strangely, view log opened up on my handheld as it has done many times. i closed the hot sync program, then opened it, and tried a hot sync--no go, media played still opened.
    i'm running the palm program on an IBM Thinkpad, with windows xp pro, SP2.
    thanks, in advance, for your advice.

    Your computer has a File Association problem.
    The HotSync log file on a PC has an extension of .htm.  Somehow, your computer has associated Windows Media Player with that type of file.
    Open My Computer, then pick the Tools tab.  Choose  Folder Options, then the File Types tab.
    Scroll down to the HTM file extension, and see what program is associated with it.  I'm betting it says Windows Media Player.  Tap the "Change" button, and pick the web browser program you use (mine is set to FireFox).  Click the checkmark in "Always use this program" then click OK.  
    Now it should open correctly.

  • Windows Media Player and audio engine behavior

    I have made one LFX and one GFX module both residing in the same dll.
    I have noticed some strange behavior with windows media player which I don't understand.
    When playing back audio with WMP there are always two processes (image names) that loads my dll with APOs. One process called audiodg.exe and one called svchost.exe. My understanding is that my APOs would be loaded only by the audio engine which I belief
    is found in audiodg.exe.
    Is there any explanation of why WMP causes my APO dll to be loaded by two different modules (image names) at the same time?
    One of the reasons I'm asking is that I have problems getting my APOs working correctly with the tidal web player (tidal.com). I'm not sure what the problem is but I can see that my APO dll is loaded by two different modules (image names) at the same time,
    just like WMP.
    Thomas BE

    The "Windows Audio service" svchost.exe process is always running; you can check its current state via the "sc query audiosrv" command.
    >sc query audiosrv
    SERVICE_NAME: audiosrv
            TYPE               : 20  WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
            STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                    (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
            WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
            SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
            CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
            WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
    When someone calls IAudioClient::IsFormatSupported(...), your SFX is loaded into audiosrv to answer the query. Some media players call this, and some don't.
    When audio actually plays, audiosrv launches audiodg.exe. audiodg.exe builds the full audio pipeline from app to driver, including all of your APOs.
    Some time after audio stops playing, audiodg.exe shuts itself down.

  • When I put the audio CDs I burned through Windows Media Player into my drive, it says disk is blank.

    I am using a Presario CQ61. I have burned audio CDs with Windows Media Player on my computer. Upon completion, when I try to playback the CD in my disk drive for the computer, it asks what I would like to do with the blank disk. However, this same CD plays just fine in my stereo, as well as on my roommates Presario CQ61 disk drive. We have the exact same computer except mine has a webcam and hers doesn't. I don't understand why these disks will play everywhere except on the computer that was used to create the disk! I am so frustrated! I have updated my drivers. I have also disabled and re-enabled the Windows Media Player. I even went as far as restoring my computer to factory settings. What else can I do to fix this problem??

    Which brand of discs u used??\
    tried any other brand??
