Re: problem with WMP and firefox

Oh I guess my problem is slightly different then... should have read
the rest of your message! The cookies don't seem to be an issue,
because it definitely is downloading the WMV file. It just doesn't
*play* it. Like, maybe I'm missing something in the header? Here's
my headers, any ideas? (just checked, cookies are the same)

Response Headers:

Hello,

For me, if I bypass the sessionid checking in my servlet, playing video
into activex works, I can watch it, but, as WMP send 2 requests to my
server instead of 1, my server is twice more occuped...and it's not good
with my large video files.
To answer to your remark :

apparently, WMP activex used in firefox retrieve cookies from IE!, not
firefox's cookies.This may explain why when you launch IE first, it works.
take a look here:http://groups.google.fr/group/microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player.we...

Is somebody has a solution for my issues?
thanks

Wow, what a coincidence... same *exact* problem with my project today,
only I'm on a ASP.NET backend.

Here's the really odd thing: if I watch a video first in IE, it works
OK in Firefox. WTF?!

Smacking my head against the wall today over this problem... I seem to
be doing the exact same thing that this page is doing:

http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/wmp9.html

Only mine is not working.

Clearly this page is also doing some sort of binary redirection
because that data parameter is a php page, not a WMV file. So I know
this can work.
