Watching webcams streaming in windows media player...

I can hardly believe that the N95 with its Real media player is unable to open the growing numbers of web pages with .wmp video files.
has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Thanks

wmp?
I guess you mean WMV which stands for Windows Media Video.
As such WMV format is not supported by RealPlayer so No you cannot watch ASF WMV streams on an N95 8GB.
I don't think there's a way.
BTW, FLV (FLASH VIDEO) is the format that is growing the most and not WMV. Most sites like Yahoo Video, BBC, YouTube, Google Video, etc. use FLV format which works with the N95 8GB.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Video Streaming in Windows media player won't play through Airport Extreme

Hello and thank you for reading my issue.
I have the current square shaped airport extreme base station. My mother has a Windows XP system on her Toshiba laptop and she takes an online class which has video streaming for the lectures. When we connect to the network wirelessly or with an ethernet cable through the base station, the video will not begin to buffer and won't play from the website. It just states ready and doesn't buffer. However, if we connect the laptop straight to our cable modem without the base station, the videos stream and play perfectly. Anybody know how we can fix this to play through the wireless network? Thanks a lot.

I've played with all sorts of software settings and configurations. This is what worked for me, but I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else, or if the issues are even related, but here goes.
1 - Turn multicast rate to 1 MBPS in the drop down menu found in Airport Utility>Airport icon>Wireless Options Button.
2 - Turn off multicast in Windows Media Player or Real Player
3 - Turn on Video Overlay Optimization check box in Real Player.
These things worked for me, hopefully they will help or give you some ideas for your own situtation.

Cannot listen to online radio streaming using Windows Media Player

Online radio websites that use Windows Media Player - opens up the player in new window but instead of buffering, says that it is playing but no output/sound. Definitely not security/pop up/firewall issue. Windows Media Player works fine playing CDs etc.

Hi there,
so, you definitively have a machine whichs plays sound and you can establish a internetconnection. I think its a pure mediaplayer problem (softwareproblem).
You have the following options:
1. Reinstall your mediaplayer or update it.
2. install another mediaplayer software like winamp or some other jukebox
3. ..no further options
Give some feedback, so I can maybe help you with your problem. ;)
Cheers

How to view live webcam that use windows media player and java

I am new to iphone and I have two live webcams that I like to go to and can't get either one on my iphone 3gs. www.ruidoso.net, view live webcam link and www.skiapache.com live webcam link. How can I get to them?? oram I just out of luck.

You've got to remember that, as powerful as the iPhone is, it's not a desktop computer. So certain things that have been designed for desktop computers may not work the same or at all. The owners of those websites probably never considered anyone wanting to view them on a phone.
The first webcam you can view on your iPhone by going to http://www.ruidosowebcam.com/camera0.jpg and manually refreshing the page to update the view. (The Java applet just refreshes the page, something they could easily have done in JavaScript for increased compatibility).
The second one I can't help with, as that one doesn't even work on my desktop computer, but WMV is a proprietary video format from Microsoft, which the iPhone doesn't play. You'd have to ask the website owners to use a more industry standard video format that the iPhone can play.

Screensaver ignores settings in Windows Media Player when watching a movie...

Hello,
Does anyone know how to resolve the problem with screensaver kicking in while watching a movie using Windows Media Player (WMP) even though I have unchecked the option to "Allow screen saver during playback" option in WMP?
I have found that if I start Windows Media Center (WMC) first and watch TV for example or even listen to Music in WMC and then later quit out and then load WMP to watch an avi file, after the specified time the screen saver starts up and the movie is no longer visible until i move the mouse to stop the screensaver. I know if I reboot WMP will work fine and no Screen saver will startup, that is not until i start WMC again and then go back into WMP...

Streaming video through Windows Media Player using USRP

Is there any document / guide or any example explaining how to do streaming through Windows Media Player using USRP.
Thanks
JK

Joseph,
I have been looking a bit more and have found a few examples that seem similar to what you are looking to do. Here is an example of video streaming using USRP RIO or FlexRIO https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40747. I also found an example of doing wireless streaming of video https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728. Sorry I was unable to find these in my first post; I hope they help!

Full screen is black when using windows media player on Equium series

Hi.
When i watch TV on the windows media player so I have problem. If I switch on full screen so there is just black screen but I can hear sounds.
Watching DVD is OK.
I've got my laptop for 4 months but everything was ok.
This problem started just now maybe 2 days ago. I think i've done something but i don't know what and i can't fix it.
I've done restoring OS but it didn't help.
Could you help me please?
Thanks

Hi there,
I know that problem, its just a bug with the media player and the graphics drivers (Its mainly the media player causing the error). Please, if you want to watch something on the TV then the playback must be STOPPED BEFORE you switch the screen. After you switched the screen, activate the playback and it should work.
Otherwise go to the site of www.videolan.org, download the latest version of the VLC player and do it with him, it should work for sure. I never start the playback of some movie or whatever when the screen was not changed before to the TV as the only screen.

How to disable autoplay in windows media player, normally play FLAC and watch AVI with two or more audio streams

0x1) is there a way to disable annoying autoplay feature in windows media player: when i play music in "now playing" mode and insert a disc which contains some video WMP stops playing music and asks me to play that disc or starts playing without any questions (e.g. when i insert DVD). in addition when WMP asks before playing it proposes three options: resume playing, go to library and play previous list. choosing "resume playing" you'll not resume the music just played, you'll start playing inserted disc. if you choose "play previous list", it also won't continue the playlist i was just playing, rather a playlist or track before the one i was just playing! very strange behaviour, isn't it?
note that this happends only in "now playing" mode, when library is active everything works fine.
please don't tell to go to control panel and change autoplay settings: it takes no effect. it works when WMP is not started or if WMP is not in "now playing" mode, otherwise WMP ignores that settings and demonstrates his "very intellectual"automatic playing.
0x2) when playing FLAC files windows media player doesn't show progress indicator, it always is positioned at the beginning (or at the place where you've positioned it). if i select multiple FLAC files and click "play with windows media player" it will play only the last file from the selected list.
0x3) when playing AVI files with two or more audio tracks WMP plays only one of them and gives no opportunity to change autio track. in wmp of vista it plays all the audio tracks at the same time (!).
If there is no solution for these problems, please tell me where i can send a feedback about my complaints?

i use K-Lite 5.2 full codec pack. in the k-lite codec tweak tool report i see madFLAC.ax installed. i'll try the Xiph.org filters.

Hi arnienelly,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you are getting the HP Rewards pop-up on your computer.
Did you follow the instructions that Ciara_B gave in her post directly above yours? If so, what was the result?
Thank you.

Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

Hi,
Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player. Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.
Regards,
DP-K

Streaming Video for Windows Media Player?

I have a website with steaming video that only opens in quicktime and I need the video to also open in Windows Media Player for people who only have access to a PC and do not want to deal with Quicktime downloads. Does anyone know how to do this on a MAC? I use FCP 5, Compressor, ect.

You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

Windows Media Player & Video Streaming

Hi, there!
Is it possible to send Video Streaming (using JMF) to
Windows Media Player? If so, how could I do that???
Thank You very much!!
Cesar

Hi Jupiter,
Yes, JMF supports streaming media using the public standard RTP and RTSP protocols.
JMF supports both transmission and reception of media over RTP for a variety of media formats. For a list of the default formats supported, check:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/support-rtp.html
It also fully supports RTCP. Besides, JMF implements the "RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minamal Control", RTP/AVP.
The front end GUI application, JMStudio can be used as a standalone application to transmit and receive RTP streams. To implement custom RTP applications using JMF as a framework, check out the RTP samples
on the solutions page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html
OR you can refer this URL.
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/faq-jmf.html#jmf2-rtp-features
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Windows Media Player DRM prevents me watching football on my iMac - HELP!!

Hi there -
I'm having some real problems trying to watch my beloved Scottish Football games live (or recorded) on my iMac.
I'm a new mac user. Used to be a pc owner (my appologies there) and watched all my games with no problem. Games are shown either live or recorded via Windows Media Player.
I downloaded Windows Media Player for Mac (and something called Stffit Expander), but to no avail.
Problem I seem to have is that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) for Windows Media Player is preventing me from watching the games on a Mac - seems that WMP does not support Safari, although Firefox does not work either, so I guess it is the Operating System? I have been told by a work colleague that basically I'm stuffed unless I put a Windows Operating System on the iMac, which I would really like to avoid doing at this point.
Can anyone out there help me with this at all? Am I destined to miss out on the games because I am now a Mac user? Seems a tad unfair that! If it helps, the websites I watch the games at are www.heartsfc.co.uk and www.internetfootball.co.uk
I'm at my wits end here, but I guess it's my own fault for not checking into this before I bought the iMac.
Anyway, I'd appreciate ideas/comments/recommendations etc, just keep in mind that I am no whizz on the Technical side of things.
Any Scots in Canada with Macs who have the same problem?
Thanks for your time all!
Angus

Hi, Angus.
Unfortunately, you're out of luck:
• Windows Media Player 9 for Mac (WMP9) does not play Windows Media files protected with anything later than version 1.3 of Microsoft's DRM. This is documented here on Microsoft's Web site, under the heading "Support for Digital Rights Management." If the files in question use a version of Microsoft's DRM later than 1.3, they will not play in WMP9 on a Mac.
• Flip4Mac, the replacement for WMP9, does not support any WIndows Media files encoded with Microsoft's DRM on Mac OS X. It states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "See also this Flip4Mac Knowledge Base article.
You need to check with the firm from which you view/download the files to determine the version of Windows DRM they employ. Information concerning available versions of Windows DRM can be found here.
Note that this is not a Mac problem: it is due to Microsoft refusing to make its DRM available on the Mac, i.e. a Microsoft business decision intended to keep you locked-in to the Windows platform.
If your iMac is one of the new Intel-based iMacs, then you have two options for running Windows XP on your iMac, which would then permit you to view the videos in Windows:
• Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta;
• Parallels Desktop for Mac
along with with a copy of Windows XP.
The key difference between these is that Boot Camp requires you startup in either WIndows or Mac OS X: you can only run one OS at a time. Parallels Desktop lets you run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
Both approaches have straightforward installation instructions. If I were in your position, I'd opt for Parallels Desktop given the ability to with with both operating systems simultaneously.
Good luck!
