Can't download windows media player firefox plugin

The download starts, but then seems to abort. I'm not savvy enough to see whether my firefox settings are causing the problem.

I only have Windows XP on my computer and can't download SP2 so can't install the firefox plug-in. Is there any other plug-in I can download?

How can I access Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin?

Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin (in Firefox) is installed on my computer, but it is available to only a few applications. All the applications have a "Use other" application, but I cannot find the above mentioned plugin. Where do I "browse" to actually find it so I can use it with a particular application?

The information you referred me to allowed me to figure out what the name of the plugin file is that I am looking for. However, when I navigated to that file to enter it as the new plugin to use, the only thing that appeared was "No items match your search". Am I correct in assuming that this means that this plugin will not work for the application in question?
If that is true, is there a way to "force" it to use this plugin, just as a test to see if my hunch is correct?

Od wersji 20.01 w Firefox nie działa Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin. Po aktualizacji FF strony proszą mnie o zainstalowanie tej wtyczki. Jak to naprawić?

Witam wszystkich.
Od aktualizacji Firefoxa z wersji 20.0.1. do 21.0 dręczy mnie problem wtyczki Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
Po aktualizacji Firefoxa strony proszą mnie o zainstalowanie tej wtyczki tak jakby jej wcale nie było a przecież tą wtyczkę mam już od jakiegoś czasu zainstalowaną i korzystałem z niej.
Firefox aktualizację przeszedł bez błędów, nie było żadnych niezgodności dodatków lecz mimo tego wtyczka, którą mam zainstalowaną w systemie nie widnieje w Dodatki---> Wtyczki.
Naprawiałem wiele razy tą wtyczkę, skanowałem system na obecność wirusów, przeinstalowałęm Firefoxa kilka razy, szukałem w regułach zabezpieczeń czy mi czesem coś tej wtyczki nie blokuje.
Wyszukałem na dysku pliki "npdsplay.dll" i "np-mswmp.dll" są w systemie.
Pierwszy z nich w:
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player
a drugi w:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
....właśnie przed chwilką wpadłem na rozwiązanie problemu. Trzeba zawartość folderu "Plugins" w lokalizacji:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
skopiować do:
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player.
...W takim razie nie będę już kończył tego pytania ale mam inne do twórców Firefox:
Po co wy do diabła tak kombinujecie z tym nowymi wersjami? Następnym razem też będę musiał jakieś pliki przenosić gdzieś bo coś nie będzie mi po aktualizacji działać?
Kiedyś nie było tylu aktualizacji i było lepiej ...a teraz co? Aktualizacje częste ale wiele jest z nimi problemu. Niezgodności wtyczek są z pewnością utrapieniem wielu użytkowników.
Poprawcie się, bo inaczej większość zwieje na Chrome.
Pozdrawiam.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

Notes:
1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

Web page music loads in IE but not Firefox. Have downloaded Windows Media Player Firefox plug in but still nothing. Any other suggestions?

Can't get any sound when I open one webpage in Firefox but sound works in Internet Explorer. sound files are .wmv and mp3 format.
I have Windows Media Player Firefox Plug in installed and set to always activiate. Also have Quicktime & Shockwave activated. Any suggestions. Operating system is Windows 7. Thanks

There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
Select the following long line of code and copy it:
function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

MS Windows Media player Firefox plugin 1.0.0.8 is installed still after upgrade from FF 3.5. to FF4, but it does not work anymore on Windows 7. The player buttons doesn´t show up. However, it works on WinXP after the same upgrade.

Windows 7 professional with Windows Media Player 11 and WMP plugin for Firefox 4 doesn´t work, but on WinXP it does work normally with the same plugin version after upgrade to FF4.

.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

Can't download Windows Media Player-What else will work?

I get emails with WMV files and I can't open them. Is there a Mac program that will open them or is there a Windows download that will work?

Flip4Mac is the standard now. Windows Media Player for the Mac has, long ago, been abandoned by Microsoft.

Не воспроизводятся аудиофайлы. Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin установлен и протестирован

Which kind of audio files are you trying to play?
Can you post a link then we can check which plugin is used?

Can't download Windows Media Player for X 10.5.7

When trying, I get a ".sitx" file, which--when opened by the Stuffit that comes with OS X--opens up an encrypted file. How can I do this? Or is WMP no longer workable for Macs?

Or is WMP no longer workable for Macs?
Basically, yes. Use the free Flip4Mac player instead.

Can't download Windows Media Player

Hello,
Could anyone give me an idea, what I do wrong? I am trying to download WMP from Microsoft website and from other websites providing WMP for OSX. I am using Mac Pro OS X Leopard. When I click download, file does download but it does not have WMP icon. When I double click the file, it opens by text edit and there is only chaotic code text. Same thing happens when I try to download plug-in for Real Player.
Thank you so much for any input.
Kootenay

You'll find more direct support straight from the Flip4Mac site. They have a good suer forum with an intelligent moderator, HERE.

Cannot install Windows Media Player 11 plugin. Not even manually

Since I can't install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin through the plugins section, I tried installing it manually from the link http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx multiple times and it still will not show up in about:plugins. I followed instructions from Firefox and rebooted after the install and still won't show up. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and have the latest version of Firefox. cannot play videos embedded in websites that support windows media streaming.

WEB PAGE says I need Windows media player 11 plugin. Have ver. 12 on computer. Is this not a backward step?

In order to see media on several web pages, it says I need to download plugin Windows media player v. 11. Windows 7 on computer has Windows media player 12. Is this going backwards or or these 2 separate things, i.e. program vs plugin?
Thanks, Sara

The plugin should work with WMP 12 as well.

Cannot download Windows Media Player for Mac.....

On this intel-based mac, i cannot seem to download Windows Media Player, or Flip4Mac components for Quicktime...has anyone found a solution for this problem....although i think Quicktime is a really nice media player, Windows Media Player is used much more frequently and i need it to view videos that Quicktime Player cannot open and that are only available in WMA format..please help me!...

OK here's the deal, you can download www.flip4mac.com and load onto your Intel MBP. First thing to do before launching the flip4mac installer is to go to
Applications-->Utilities - Find the application "Installer" and right click- get info and check box "open using rosetta".
Go back to flip4mac installer and launch. It will now allow you to install onto Intel Mac. Previously, you would get an error not allowing you to install on Intel Macs. Should be gone now. Once installed, you can go back and change the installer back to original. Once flip4mac is installed, find the Safari app in the applications folder and right click- get info and select "open using rosetta". All Windows .wmv files will now play within the browser window and not download to your HD. The sacrifice is the hit in speed you'll take while Safari runs in Rosetta mode. But you can toggle on and off as you need.
