OK I guess I'm lost. Any chance of posting the URL - I can test it in
all those combinations you've listed, to see what's common.
Just out of interest, if you ignore the embedded part of the equation,
and open the URL as written in the web page within the standalone
media player on Mac / Win, does it work then ?
Cheers - Neil
