    Default WMP in firefox

    Hi,

    Sorry for my bad ingles

    I have a problem puting windows media player in Firefox, this is the code i´m using

    <object data="1866.wmv" type="video/x-ms-asf" height="370" width="400">
    <param name="Filename" value="1866.wmv" />
    <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1" />
    <param name="AutoStart" value="1" />
    <param name="animationatStart" value="1" />
    <param name="transparentatStart" value="1" />
    <param name="showControls" value="1" />
    <param name="stretchToFit" value="true" />
    <param name="width" value="400" />
    <param name="height" value="370" />
    <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage = "http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="1866.wmv" align="middle" showstatusbar="1" animationatstart="1" showcontrols="1" autostart="1" transparentatstart="1" width="400" height="370"> </embed>
    </object>

    I don't know if this is the only problem, but you haven't even applied it to the <embed> element that Firefox will use.

    I noticed that when I followed all the rules for FF to get it to use stretch to fit with MP, it worked for me, but not for a friend with FF (only stretched in one dimension for her). Also, the FF MP plug-in is sometimes used by other browsers (Safari, Opera - for example). When this happens the support is much less compliant than in FF (where, as noted already, it can be spotty).

    My solution - since it was a video - was to give IE the higher quality .wmv if it could handle it (if it had the MP Active X v 7 or greater object), and all others were served a slightly lower quality .flv Flash version, or a notice that Flash would be required if they lacked Flash support.
