WMV streaming Saturday, March 4, 2006 at 3:33 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Raffi (2 messages posted) i had wmp6.4 [which comes with win98se] after many embedded players in websites failed to play complaining i need a newer media player, i decided to upgrade to wmp9 after screaming at microsoft that this new player is awful and that it hijacked all my audio and video extensions [i really like the v6.4 since it's more pleasant], i reassigned all of the extensions through mediaplayer 6.4. everything is fine except one annoying problem. before the upgrade, when i clicked on wmv/avi/mpg/wav/mp3 link in internet explorer, the media player would come up and then start playing and DURING the playing it downloaded the rest [streaming the media] after upgrading, when i click those links, internet explorer downloads the WHOLE file and when it finishes, it sends the file to media player 6.4 i hate it like that, if i wanted the whole file, i would choose "save target as". note that this only happens with HTTP protocol. MMS works as it should. please help me restore the streaming of the files. i am a power user so any messing with the registry is welcomed [i prefer it like that, than running a "hot-fix"] Responses to this message: re: WMV streaming (MrCharlie: Sunday, March 5, 2006 at 7:00 am) re: WMV streaming (JmC: Sunday, March 5, 2006 at 4:56 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] WMV streaming (Raffi: Sat, Mar 4, 2006, 3:33 pm) re: WMV streaming (MrCharlie: Sun, Mar 5, 2006, 7:00 am) re: WMV streaming (JmC: Sun, Mar 5, 2006, 4:56 pm) still doesnt work (Raffi: Mon, Mar 6, 2006, 9:47 am) re: still doesnt work (JmC: Mon, Mar 6, 2006, 2:18 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
