Watching wmv files attached to emails

I would like to watch the wmv files emailed to me as attachments on my iPhone. I loaded "WMV Player" app but it is requesting the directory of where these files are kept. Does anyone have a work-a-round to access wmv files emailed as attachments on the iPhone?

I just checked the info about this app via the App Store, and I found now indication that the app provides for viewing WMV files sent as an email attachment. This was copied from the developer's website.
Browse your favourite websites using the app’s fully functional web browser – if the website contains video files, click on the video you want to watch – and if the video file is in wmv format the app will download and play it through the iPhone’s media player - its that simple!
There is no workaround for this. WMV is a Microsoft closed proprietary format. Microsoft formally provided and supported a Windows Media Player app for OS X on a Mac, but they discontinued doing so many moons ago. To view WMV files received as an email attachment on a Mac, or video provided via WMV on a website which isn't very common in my experience, you need to download a 3rd party player called Flip4Mac.
Since Microsoft doesn't support Windows Media Player with OS X on a Mac and hasn't for a very long time, I doubt they will be providing a Windows Media Player app via the app store for an iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Unless Flip4Mac decides to do this, you won't be able to view WMV files sent as an email attachment.

  • Send Files - attach to email filename

    I have dynamic page rendered by asp.net. Let's call it ShowPDF.aspx - it renders PDF file to output. I would like to ask regarding functionality for sending files directly from Adobe Reader X (Tools > Send Files > Attach to Email). The name of the attached file is prefilled to ShowPDF.aspx. 
    Can it be changed to any other values? How is the value calculated? Can it be influenced by any http header?
    Thanks a lot

    Drag or export it from iPhoto to the desktop, and if needed, drag that file to the Preview icon in the Dock, choose Export from the File menu, and specify JPEG as the format.

  • Can not open .wmv file attachment.

    I am using an iPad 2 with OS6. I have an email message with an attached .wmv file.  When double taping the file a window opens with a list of 6 different apps to be selected to open the file. Dropbox, Box, Evernote, Printer Pro, Mail, and Good Reader.  EverNote downloaded the file but the file did not open.  Since this is a movie, it should be opened in QuickTime.  Strange.

    Install free OPlayer and try again.

  • Playing WMV Files From An Email

    If this has been posted previously, please forgive me for not finding it. Simply, how can I play a WMV video file attached to an email in iPhone 3Gs? Is there an app for that?!?!?!?

    WMV is a closed/proprietary Microsoft standard.
    In order to play WMV files on your Mac you need the Windows Media Components for QuickTime installed, which is not provided by Microsoft. Before this, Microsoft provided and supported a Windows a Windows Media Player app for OS X, which they no longer provide or support.
    There will be no Windows Media Player app provided by Microsoft for the iPhone/iPod Touch and Flip4Mac, which provides and supports Windows Media Components for QuickTime on a Mac needs to provide the same for the iPhone and iPod Touch in order to play a WMV file on the iPhone, which they haven't done and not sure if they have any plans to do so or are able to do so.

  • Unable to open a .wav file attached to email.

    When I click on an attached .wav file in an email it launches a player of some sort, appears to load the file, then displays the error "There was an error playing the file."
    According to the tech. specs, .wav files are supposed to be compatible.
    Anyone have any ideas? 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I was able to play a WAV sent to me via email. I have Vonage and it sends voicemails to my email as WAV files; these files work fine for me.

  • Possible to watch wmv files on iPad?

    I'm new to iPad. Is it possible to watch windows media player files (wmv) on iPad?  Thanks in advance!

    DCLuke-
    You can not watch the WMV videos using the iPad's Videos App.  I suggest you search the iTunes App store for a WMV viewer.
    One alternative is to convert the WMV files on your computer.  The iPad can play M4V and MP4 videos.  One program that can convert to these formats, is HandBrake.  HandBrake is a free program available for both PC and Macintosh at <Download it now.>.

  • No support for text files attached in emails

    I was shocked to discover that a simple RTF (Rich Text File) is not supported by iPhone. I was sent a small attachment as a text file and was unable to open it. Surely something as simple as a text file attachment should be easy to display.
    Come on Apple, lets get working on version 1.1

  • Why can't I get video when watching wmv files. I get audio but no video. And yes, I've loaded the latest version of flip4mac.

    When I try to play a wmv file on my Mac I get the audio but no video. I've downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac but that doesn't seem to help. I recently "upgraded" to Lion. Any connection?? Any ideas??? I posted this a week or so ago and was told to download the latest version of Flip4Mac. Let me repeat: I've already downloaded the latest version of Flip4Mac and it doesn't seem to help.

    So did you download the latest flip4mac?  (just kidding)
    Does this happen with all wmv's or just specific wmv files?
    Try playing them with vlc to see if they play there.
