Do you have WMP plugin for Firefox? Type aboutlugins in the address bar of Firefox and hit Enter. Check and see if you have these entries for WMP. You can also test the WMP plugin on that site. Youtube uses Flash Player and not WMP. Check these requirements from NBA.com.
I have Firefox 2.0.0.2 and WMP 10 and the videos play for me on the NBA site. Did you check the plugins settings from aboutlugins? Match the files listed here to see if any are missing. Then test the WMP on the links under Testing WMP plugin.
I can't help if you have WMP 11 because I don't use it.
If the test passed, then the plugin is working. Try clearing all private data in Firefox including cookies and cache. Start Firefox in safe mode. Start> Mozilla Firefox> Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode).
This will tell if an extension or theme is effecting the player. If the Adblock extension is installed, the OBJ-TABS setting may hide the WMP plug-in. You will have to disable Obj-Tabs in your Adblock options.
See if any of this helps.
Did everything and even tried in safe mode...but didnt work! This is a pain for both you and me because I keep asking you every time but it just isnt working
No problem, just can't make out why your player won't work. Open WMP and click on Tools> Options> Network tab and make sure that the 4 boxes on the left under Streaming protocols
are checked. On File Types tab, that all boxes are checked. If you make any changes, Apply and OK.
Found this test site from Microsoft Support. Try the different formats and see if any or all work.
Did everything you said and still no.....I downloaded their first sample file and opened it with wmp and it couldnt open...opened it with winamp and it worked...all the other samples work on quicktime or winamp and not on my wmp..so i cant really tell...also the .asf solution does not work on my wmp (as I said before) and there is no solution to it
It seems the player doesn't work for the formats. Check this last setting.
On the Tools menu, click Options> Network tab>In the Proxy Settings section highlight HTTP and click Configure.
Make sure the proxy setting for HTTP protocols is Use proxy settings of the Web browser.
Then go to www.cnn.com and click on a video. If a message pops up about a plugin, just click on continue with video and see if the video will play.
The settings on wmp were already there and when i clicked on a video on cnn.com nothing happens....the video doesnt even play...when i click play nothing happens!
I am lost, the only option I would suggest is to reinstall WMP. You can wait and see if someone has a better idea. Maybe this will help. Installing the Player
I have the same problem. Upto three nights ago, I could see everything on the CNN.com webpage with IE 7 - video and pages. The next day, I cannot load CNN on my browser for nothing. Yet on my other PC I could.
BTW, I can see the page in FF but cannot load any video.
After reinstalling the browser, I able to see the page, however the video would not load.
I just disabled some add-ons in IE, and quickly got the page. I will update.
i fianally got it to work when i didasbled my ad blocking feature on norton..:up: :up:
