Is there a Windows Media Player plugin for Windows 7?

Firefox tells me I need to manual install a plug-in for Windows Media Player but when it takes me to the plug-in it is only for Windows Vista and earlier Windows versions. Should I install that plug-in or just not bother, as for some reason the content plays anyway?

WMP plugin craps out when I go to XM satellite raio NO SOUND Please Fix Soon!!!

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 for Safari

How Do I Download It? THANKS

Welcome to the discussions!
Microsoft has stopped development of WMP for Mac and now offers the Flip4Mac plugin HERE instead. It is not a universal binary yet and you will have to run the installed under Rosetta in order to get it to work.
The details of that are located in THIS thread.

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!

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>

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.

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.

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.

Windows media player 9 for MAC OS X PROBLEMS!

I have just installed windows media player 9 for MAC OS X (from this site http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx), in an attempt to view a windows media file sent to me via email.
Since the install, I can no longer view any media on the BBC website (not sure what application they use on this).
I have dragged all Windows Media Player 9 related files to the trash, emptied the trash and then done a restart of my computer. still no joy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

WMP for Mac is outdated and no longer developed by Microsoft. Use the free Flip4Mac WM Quicktime plugin available at flip4mac.com Also, please note this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to WMP.

Any problems with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X?

I want to be able to play video from CNN.com, but it says I need Windows Media Player 9. Before I download it, I want to know if it is reliable.
I've already got Flip4Mac, and that doesn't help. (I get a -2048 error.)
Please share experiences with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X so I can decide whether or not to download it.
Thanks,
Matt

The default application you're looking for is "Stuffit Expander".
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/ is the page you'll be looking for...think Winzip for Mac. Once stuffit is installed you should be able to open the .sitx or .hqx file you may have downloaded...essentially a package that stuffit can open for you so you can install media player.

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 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.

Windows Media Player 9 for Mac (OS X)

I've been trying to download the software for Windows Media Player 9 for Mac (OS X) in two versions: 1 - Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X, 2 - Windows Media® Components for QuickTime.
