Re: media player 11 with window vista


That site is producing bad ASX files that use partial path references. This
is broken and will fail.

Does it happen for other sites?

Also, if you like that site, you should probably advise them to fix up their
ASX files to not use partial references: those are not fully supportable. =\

this is the URL

http://www.future.com.lb/Default.aspx?page=video&prog_id=50

now about any new codec no nothing new i had alway the k-lite codec pack
3.9
media player played usually perfectly fine with me except now when i tried
to
go to the above link to play the vedios it askd me to save it and the file
type is an (asx) which should play with media player... now when i save it
and try to open it it says>>>>Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
The
Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that
was used to compress the file. so i dont know if its the issue with the
media player in vista that is different from the one of the xp in
accordance
to the codec that was used to compress the file.

and that is what i dont understand cause i have on my other computer
window
xp and when i go to the same URL and want to watch the vedio i have no
problem at all.

What's a URL that shows this problem for you?

^-- This is the easiest question to answer for starters. =)

As regards third party players, I'm curious if you have installed any new
players or codecs upon this system that do not normally come with Vista.
Those can accidentally reset some key player settings.

when i try to play a video media player on vista from a site it asks
me
to
save it first,the file type is
(Windows Media Audio/Video playlist (.asx)
and if i do save it and then try to play it it gives me this msg
>>>Windows
Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the
file
type
or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

now when I play the same file from the same site on window xp there
is
no
problem and it plays directly without asking me to save it
my question is >>is there a setting i should do or change with vista
media
player?
