Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi
Apogogies if this has been asked before.
I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks
George

Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!
Software troubles can drive you a bit crazy. Sorry again.

I cannot play mp3 file on itunes after i recover it from an external hdd

hey guy'z i need a little help here
i have a large mp3 file from an old 2TB which had a problem and then recovered and transfered to a new ext hdd.
now after the recovery was done and i'm trying to play my music on the itunes it wont play
any solution guys?
and another thing is the wma file why i cant i play it also on my itunes?

iTunes cannot play WMA files. Use a conversion program such as Switch or EasyWMA to convert the WMA to MP3 or AAC.
For your problem MP3, make sure it is a valid file by playing it in another player such as QuickTime. If it plays there but not in iTunes, then it needs to be cleaned up with a program such as MP3 Validator.

Cannot play mp3 files in car stereo after upgrade 5.0.1

I upgraded to 5.0.1 a few weeks ago and just tried burning an mp3 cd to play on my Kenwood in my car. Befor the upgrade, no problems, now, nothing plays, just starts on track one, no title display and just plays silence for as long as I could scan forward, over 30 minutes!
And My Kenwood is less than a year old so it's not the player. And it will play in my dvd player but it took about 5 minutes before the disc loaded and started playing. All I know, is befor eth eupgrade it worked in my car, now it doesn't and really, iTunes is no good to me now!
Amyone have any suggestions? Found a fix?

Have you tried "FingerPrint" by "Collobos Software" at http://www.collobos.com
You can download the software free for evaluation, only costs $10.00 to purchase if it works for you.

DW CS4 cannot embed mp3 files

Windows 7. IE 8, Firefox 3.6.8, Chrome
I want to embed mp3 files in my web pages. I go to Insert/Media/Plugin and select an mp3 files from the box that appears. The placeholder for the player appears on the appropriate spot on the page. I highlight the placeholder and click on the Play button in property inspector. An error message then appears saying "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the Configurations/Plugin folder and the plugin folder for each of your installed browsers". The Config/Plugin folder contains NPSWF32.dll and UnsupportedPlugins.txt (contains npdsplay.dll nppdf.dll). Also when I go to Live view there is a blank space where the player should be. I do not have any problems playing mp3 files with WMP, Real audio or Quicktime which are all installed on my computer.
What must I do?

Cannot play multimedia files (Solved)

I've upgraded gnome to the 2.14 version, and it works fine except that totem cannot play mp3, avi, mpeg, etc.
Before I upgraded it could play those files without problem but now it gives me this message:
" You do not have a decoder to play this file"
"You might need to install the necessary plugins"
So, what does this mead, before it worked great, but now it doesn't, I have reinstalled the "gst-plugins" package and the "codecs" package but still nothing, even after doing "gst-register".
So how could I fix it?

2.14 uses gstreamer 0.10 not 0.8.x. The gstreamer 0.10 plugin for the mp3 decoder would be for example: gstreamer0.10-mad

SWF to play mp3 files located on the server

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.
any information of examples would be greatly appreciated.
Peter.

As for loading and playing the files there is no issue. Simply load them as you would load any file. You can even use a relative path if they are in the same folder as the SWF, or a sub-folder that is in the folder with the SWF.
As for looking at the server directory for what files are there, and using them - I know of no way to do this. That doesn't mean it is impossible, just that I haven't come across a method in my experience.
What I typically do is to archive the list of files in an XML file, and load the XML. I know, that adds an extra step, and an extra file, but it is the easiest method for approximating what you want to do.
Let me edit this response.
You could use javascript, or a server language to grab the list of files in the directory and pass it into Flash via the ExternalInterface classes.

ITunes takes a few seconds to start playing MP3 files

I just started using this new MacBook Pro and transfered my music library to the new laptop. I'm having a problem with iTunes playing MP3 files: when I double click on a MP3 track iTunes seems to freeze for like 3 - 4 seconds before the track starts playing and then it plays normally without a hitch. This is happening with each and every MP3 track that I have in the library as well as new MP3 tracks that I'm adding. Th short delay/freeze also occurs when I try to view or alter the info of an MP3 track in the library, so that when I right click on a track and click Get Info, the 'Get Info' screen will take about 3 - 4 seconds to show up and the same freeze happens when I click OK to close the 'Get Info' screen.
Note that this happens only with MP3 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes store (AAC) do not have this problem and start playing without any delay/freeze.
Another weird tidbit: When MP3 tracks are in the same playlist (or album) and I let them play one after another (without me skipping to the next/previous song) then the delay/freeze does not occur at all. This delay seems to just happen when I start playing a song or when I click the fast forward/Rewind buttons to skip to the next/previous track.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? And if a fix is available somewhere? Thanks in advance!

It only happens on mp3s not on AAC's to me too! Just so you all know. I thought an EXTERNAL DRIVE was my problem but after hours of research I found it's probably an intentional bug (just kidding Apple you don't hate other companies that much....geesh! ) It might not be this...but you never know.
I thought maybe it was the TAG but it seems this has nothing to do with it. Point is either Apple left a bug on the last update of itunes MP3s because to them it's less of a priority or it's being messed up by Amazon folders (still looking in to), or maybe there was a problem with the install.
So far my options are to get an MP3 to AAC convertor and dump my 3000 songs into a program for converting, wait for an update, reinstall, or keep looking for a missed solution.
Any help would be appreciated!!

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Safari no longer plays mp3 files (OS X 10.9.5 Safari 7.1). Help!

I have a 6-month-old MacBook Pro (13" Classic) running OS X 10.9.5. I use Safari 99% of the time to browse the web (version 7.1). Quicktime Player 10.3.
All of a sudden (this week), Safari has stopped playing mp3 files. I have always been able to click on a link to an mp3 file and it would play in the browser. Now, this has stopped working. It does open a black page with the audio scroll bar showing. However, the arrow will not respond if I click it and it just says "Loading..." forever.
What's up?!

Force quit Safari and relaunch it while holding down the shift key.

Netstream.play() mp3 file

Hello.
I am having troubles playing an mp3 stream, using
Netstream.play()
According to AS 3.0 livedocs in Adobe...
quote:
To play MP3 files, use mp3: before the stream name. To play
the ID3 tags of MP3 files, use id3: before the stream name
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html)
When I test playing a video stream (.flv), everything works
fine.
The error I get when I try to play an mp3 is:
Failed to play (stream ID: 1) code:
NetConnection.Call.BadVersion
I tried every different type of combinations:
stream.play("mp3:test.mp3"), (test), (test.mp3) and nothing works.
However, only in "mp3:test" I get the Call.BadVersion error. On the
other ones, simply it doesn't play nothing... It finds the file
though... because I get some results in the event handlers that i
don't get when I enter an invalid filename...
My question is... What is "NetConnection.Call.BadVersion",
and is it really possible to play an mp3 stream. Are there other
methods?

Hi,
Just check this url .its good you will get some idea.

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

Windows Media Player 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

Windows Media Player 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
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
Regards.
