WMP and VOB files via web site

Question

I have created a web page that will list cover images all of my backed up DVD's that I have on an external hard drive and each cover images is linked to the first VTS_01_1.VOB file for that DVD.
I am testing the page to see how it works for each device I have.  The page works flawlessly with my Samsung tablet, the player I have installed on the tablet will automatically go from VTS_01_1.VOB to VTS_01_2.VOB and so on until movie is
done.
If I use my Windows 7 pc & IE 8, WMP will open and play the VTS_01_1.VOB and stop at the end of that file, how can I get WMP to continue to the next file automatically?
I have also tried placed the file VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO in the link and then my tablet will not play it and WMP will not open and play it also.  When I use this link in IE I will get a dialogue box asking if I want to save or
open, I select open and WMP will open and then give me a message "The selected file has an extension (.IFO) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play it. Because the........  Do you want the Player to
try to play this Content? YES / NO. 
I select YES and then I get a dialogue box "WMP cannot play the file.  The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
So why will WMP work if I double click the file on the pc directly in the folder and not via the web page?

Answer 1

WMP access files present in a particular folder, the order in which the IFO file or linked VOB file is desinged. However, when it comes to webpage, WMP treats the location as remote and hence will not proceed to next file automatically, even if linked in
the IFO file. This is a security feature to avoid any execution of code from unknown source.
I can suggest adding the VOB file in a playlist, like ASX file, and that file will be opened by WMP and navigation between different VOB files is possible.
