Windows media player plugin downloads onto my computer but will not load into my UX browser ???

an using windows 7 and UX as a browser. i can find the folder where windows media plugin loads but it does not show up in the browser.

Hi finitarry,
Is your answer intended as a solution? If so, in what way?
I've now re-installed the Firefox WMP plug-in (even though my system already had it installed) and it still will not show up in the FF 5 add-ons/plug-ins manager and FF5 still will not play an embedded WMV video file.
Are you just commenting or do you have some advice?
Thanks,
numetro

Reloaded PSE 9 onto new computer but will not open.

I got a new computer and re-loaded Photoshop Elements 9 onto it. I got no error messages during install. I can open the initial "Welcome to Photoshop Elements 9" screen, but when I attempt to open 'Organize' or 'Edit' by clicking on the button they will not open. The button does change to the blue and black scrolling but after it stops the screens do not open. Can you help?

Why can't I have the Windows Media Player plugin in firefox? Why is that there is a page maintained on Mozilla that links to some port25 for plugin whereas other are available directly from firefox?

I am sick and tired of going to 3rd party websites and install plugin that have malware and virus. Need to have this Windows Media player plugin from Firefox directly.

Thanks, but again, I'm either missing something or Firefox is being finicky. I play videos on Apple.com just fine thru Firefox, so the QuickTime plugin is apparently working. Of course, I didn't try every video on Apple.com so it's possible I picked the few that worked. And with some serious massaging I've actually been able to get Firefox to play low resolution .mp4 videos. Videos rendered at 256x144 display in the HTML5 video player in Firefox. Videos rendered at resolutions greater than 256x144 do not display in Firefox. At least, these are the results I'm getting....I suspect others may be getting different results.
This isn't a file size thing because a 512x288 .mp4 video is actually less than 1/2 the size of the lower resolution 256x144 .mp4 video, and yet Firefox does not display a 512x288 .mp4 video.....again, for me anyway. This is beyond confusing, but thanks for the suggestions. You are correct - Firefox does NOT support .mp4 videos (most resolutions) in the HTML5 video player....for some unknown reason!

Every time Firefox opened

Hi Lindsay.
The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc] explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.
Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\'''). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.
Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

Need Windows Media Player Plugin for Windows 8

When I go thru the directions to install the plugin it only shows up to Windows 7. I have Windows 8. The media player works fine thru Internet Explorer, but I'd rather use Firefox.
Problem - I have an important viewing of my daughter's 3d/4d ultrasound this Saturday and I don't want to mess up my laptop by installing the wrong version and not being able to view it at all.
Thanks.

Those instructions should work for Windows 8 as well.
Did you try to install the plugin, assuming that you've already installed the WMP?

Windows media player plugin is not working in firefox 4.if any one know what to do pls reply me

MY FRIEND SUGGESTED THIS TO ME
I HAVE TRIED THIS
BUT ITS WASTE
I CANT EVEN FIND ANYTHING AS
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
I have had the same problem since I installed Firefox 4.0.
Thank you for letting us know that The RealPlayer plugin conflict, was the source of this problem.
Another way to fix this (for good) is doing the following:
1) Click on "Tools">Options"
2) Click on the "Applications" tab
3) Search in the "Content Type" column, all the applications that start with the words "Windows Media." Click on the content that is listed to the right of each application's name and choose "Use Windows Media Player (default)."
By doing this, Firefox will avoid using the Windows Media Player plugin and will open the corresponding application directly with Windows Media Player.
I just did this and is working perfectly. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

I just saw this posted to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup in the topic,<br>
[http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/f381fb349c4d109d/69bef0011240e600?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8 Windows Media Player will not install in Firefox 4] <br>
''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''
<br>..... so try [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to see if a Firefox extension is conflicting with the WMP Firefox plugin.

VLC player plugin conflict with Windows Media Player plugin in Firefox 8.0.1

After I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1, Windows Media Player stopped playing embedded videos within the Firefox browser.
If you go to Add-ons and disabled VLC player plugin, Firefox will start to plays any Windows Media Player videos without any issue.
The minute I click to enable VLC, Windows Media Player stop working again. This problem is not used to happen in Firefox 6.02.
Please help me with problem. any suggestions will be appreciated.

You can disable the VLC plugin from the Addons window. Choose Plugins, find VLC in the list and disable it.

Windows media player plugin.

I was wondering how to watch videos from windows media player in the mac book pro (say if my school provides lectures on line, the plug in for wmp is missing). More over, I was also wondering how to install windows media player (I downloaded the file from the microsoft website, something with extension .bin this gets open by microsoft excel, thing that doesnt make sense to me)
Any input would be greatly appreciated...

You might want to use Flip4Macinstead once they have released a Universal version for Intel Macs, the current version doesn't work.
If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.
Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.

I can not install Windows Media Player plugin when i'm using the beta version of Mozilla. Even after the installation, it doesn't work.

Windows Media Player plugin doesn't work with the beta version of Mozilla.

Make it easier. C:/Program/Mozilla Firefox (the old installation) and copy the entire folder "plugins". Now go to the path of the Firefox beta installation and paste the folder. All the old add ons will work. Bye

Windows Media Player plugin has stopped working since I installed Firefox 4. I have the newest version of the plugin, worked fine with the previous version of Firefox. Any ideas?

I have tried the suggestions on the help and troubleshooting pages including uninstalling and reinstalling plugins and Firefox 4. disabling the pop up blocker did not help either.

How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

Hi there.
According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
i.e.:
var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
This same code works in Internet Explorer.

You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

Windows media player plugin in Safari?

I have installed the windows media player 9 for mac os X but when I try opening a file in Safari, I'm being redirected to the player and he's not connecting. Can someone give some advise?
By the way I'm having a Intel based Mac, so flip for Mac is no solution.

HT1719 i have got the music downloaded onto the computer, but got my shuffle plugged into computer but cant get the music onto the shuffle. can anyone help.!!

hi ; i got the music from the i-tune store downloaded onto the computer but got th shuffle plugged in but cant get it from computer onto shuffle. help please.

It depends on your shuffle type, and whether you want to do it manually or using automatic syncing. It seems like you linked off of the document that describes how to load content to your shuffle. This one
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
If you tried following the steps in the document, where did you run into problems? That document also shows the four types of shuffles. Which one do you have? Which method from that document are you trying to use?
NOTE: In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.

HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine). It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
