Windows Media Player not working on CNN??

I have installed Windows Media Player 9 and the plug-in for it to work on Quicktime. On other websites it works (at least comes up) when clicking on videos. However, on CNN it says no player detected. Anyone have more info? I'm thinking maybe WMP doesn't work with Intel. I've tried reinstalling it several times.

windows media player works with intel through rosetta. the quicktime wmv plugin does not yet work on intel however. if you right click on safari under your applications and click "get info", there is a box you can check that allows you to open safari using rosetta. this should allow the windows media player plugin to work with safari, it will just be a lot slower. flip4mac is promising a native version of the quicktime component soon, so that should solve the problem for good when that comes out.

Windows Media Player not working in Firefox 7

This pertains to a beta Internet radio page at http://www.radiofreeneptune.com/ with Windows Media Player embedded in the page.
Prior to Forefox 7, browsing the page with Firefox had the correct media player interface appear (black, with blue buttons) as soon as the page loaded. Clicking on Play caused the music to play.
Having updated to Firefox 7, Firefox stops working for about a minute when the page is first accessed (it appears to be buffering a lot of audio). A crude Media Player interface finally appears. Audio starts playing immediately, even though the embedded control has it AutoStart set to false.
FireFox has the Microsoft Windows Media Player for Firefox 1.0.0.8 installed.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks.
Jack

Try to remove the old (Npdsplay dll in the plugins list) WMP plugin in case that is used.
The embed for Firefox has autostart="1" not not autostart=false (0) like the object for IE.

Help New satellite c655-s5136, programs slow, window media player not working, and more

I just bought this computer in January 2011 and had a lot of problems w/ it.
1) At first it wouldn't go on certain webpages. (for example I could get on gmail not yahoo). The help screen said it was the router or there were no issues. I had to look online (on a different computer) and find out I had to turn off all my plug in to get it to work.
NOW
I keep getting an RUNDLL error message every time I turn it on. Can someone tell me what that is?
it says specified module could not be found: C:\user\Tashaun\appdata\local\upifitizoyiziyem.dll
The internet and all offline programs are running really slow and they keeps freezing or shutting down on their own or won't come up at all
Windows media player is completely messed up. My downloaded music won't go into the library. I have to make a playlist and put my songs in that. But yesterday I got some error message and half of my songs disappeared. I can't export the songs from the windows player either. I looked online and it all says the player is corrupted due to installation error when upgrading to windows 7. But I never upgraded to windows 7. It came with the computer. I tried some of the solutions anyway but I can’t delete wmdb file because windows said the media center was open, even though I used task manager and shut all programs off
Should I have Toshiba look at the computer? I don’t know if it’s the computer or the windows 7 software. Except for having to disable plugins, the computer worked fine for a month.
In addition, had Norton internet security on the computer since day 1. Tried Microsoft fix it program. And fixcleaner

With dll names like that, it looks to me like you've been hit by a malware. Doing recovery to out-of-box state is your easy way out on this.

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER NOT WORKING. PLEASE HELP!!

I recently bought the Xtremegamer X-fi sound blaster card. I installed all the drivers and updated them.
System
cpu: 4200 AMD X2
Speakers: 5. setup
(shouldn't be any problems there)
My problem is that i can't play music through windows media player. I can play games and get music fine, i can stream videos online and get music, but i can't play music from my library on WMP. When i click on a song, the bar shows that the song is going, but there is absolutely no sound.
I downloaded iTunes, and i can play music just fine on that, but i HATE iTunes.
(and yes i checked to make sure nothing is muted)Message Edited by jaredcaspers on 2-30-200704:3 PM

On the top bar of Windows Media Player click on "Play" and then select "Volume" from the dropdown list. Make sure that "mute" doesn't have a checkmark beside it.

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

Windows Media Player not selecting custom audio renderer filter on Windows 7 (works with graphedit)

Hi there,
I have custom directshow audio renderer filter derived from CBaseRenderer base class and implements IBasicAudio interface.
Filter works fine with graphedit and media player classic, I am able to receive audio data. But when I try to play file using Windows Media Player, filter gets callback in completeconnect followed by breakconnect and then its discarded.
Things I have tried so far --
Implement IBasicAudio interface, still fails with WMP
Modify audio renderer filter to connect with video decoder, it works fine with WMP and I can get dump of raw video data
Implement IReferenceClock interface, still fails with WMP
Implement this filter using CBaseFilter as base class, still same outcome, CompleteConnect on receive pin followed by BreakConnect and filter is discarded
It seems that Windows Media Player is looking for some specific interface that I might have not implemented or is picky for audio renderer. I found similar issue at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/windowsdesktop/en-us/6e5985fb-3ca2-41b3-9a99-7a9b97ae7357/directshow-filter-stopped-working-in-windows-7-media-player.
But it seems unresolved.
Please help, am stuck on this issue for 3 days without any luck. Any clues on this is appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Roman.
Most of QuerryInterface calls received in NonDelegatingQuerryInterface callback inside filter are same as that for greaphedit.
From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mediasdkstuff/archive/2008/09/19/custom-directshow-audio-renderer-hangs-playback-in-windows-media-player-11.aspx, it seems that WMP on Windows 7 uses preferred list of filters using IAMPluginControl that cannot be modified
by 3rd party.
There has to be some workaround for this that am trying to figure out. Any clues on this?
Thanks,

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

Windows Media Player stopped working

After the install of After Effects CS4, windows media player no longer works. I'm thinking it has something to do with Adobe Media Player now on the system. Anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you for your time.

AMP should not have to do anything with it, more likely it's the Adobe Media Encoder. Probably it disabled a specific CoDec that previously was used for MPEG-II playback and such. Or you had a CoDec pack or something on your system that threw things off track. In any case, it should be possible to reinstall Windows Media Player by downloading the standalone installer from Microsoft. If you had any CoDec packs installed, uninstalling them may also already solve the issues.

Audio has ceased when at Amazon and with e-mails with audio attachments. This only during last few days previously O.K. Windows Media Player still working so no problem with speakers only happens with online audio. John

Operating system Windows 7. A few days ago no problems with audio, clear sound when listening to e-mail audio attachments and Amazon music samplers. During last 2/3 days both attachments and samplers fail to work, but when playing music from library held in Windows Media Player no problems. This would appear to show no problem with speakers etc and I have not knowingly amended any audio controls.

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

How do i get my ipod nano/i tunes/windows media player to work together

how do i get anewly purchased i pod nano tp work with i tunes and windows media player

I am having the same problem. All my music is in My Music folder including itunes folder. All i want to do is tell itunes where it is but itunes keeps copying the files to its own folder, so mi end up with 2 files for everything (1 in MY Music folder and 1 in Itunes folder)?
Please tell me i can get round this as i prefer the way windows media player files my music and as it is all mp3 then i dont understand why itunes cant just know where it is instead of needing its own copy.?

How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

Not very easy but it could be done.
If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

Window media player wont work with OSX?

Hey, just curious. I downloaded a Windows Media Player that says its for OSX, but when i go to do a test before i subscribe to a streaming radio show it runs a test where its suppose to show a video but i just get jumbled text. am i missing something?

Try using Flip4Mac; Microsoft has abandoned the Mac OS X version of Windows Media Player.

Windows Media Player Never Works

Hey folks -
Looking for WMP help. I've downloaded it, trashed the three preferences I've read about here, and it still won't work. For some reason, it plays Windows Media files I have on a CD I made a year or two ago on my old PC, but it will not play embedded videos (i.e. CNN, IGN) NOR will it play these Windows Media videos if I download them. I'm at my wits end here.
I even tried using VLC, but that simply gives me a codec error. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know someone I can contact at Mac or Microsoft for some tech support?
Thanks.

I hate to give you such a useless answer, but WMP works fine on all three of the Macs in my house. Embedded videos show up in Safari or in a separate WMP window (depending on how the website is configured), and it's played every .wmv file I've thrown at it. I guess my point is, don't give up, because theoretically it should work.
You might also want to take a look at VLC. It can play most Windows Media files.
