Embedded Windows Media Player Problems

[frogman]

A friend gave me a link to listentomyradio, and it has 2 options to listen, one is an embedded Windows Media Player, and the other is Flash, and although the Flash works fine the Windows Media Player doesn't, and I have tried various config but to no avail.

It used to work fine but it doesn't anymore.

I use I.E 6 and also FF 2.0.0.20

I use these due to OS requirements.

Is there anything I need to do to get this to stream and play on the WMP?

What is the CLSID used in the source of the page?

Here are some known ID's:

'CLSID:05589FA1-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A' // WMP 6

'CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95' // WMP 6.4

'CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6' // WMP 7

The ID that works on most computers is the one of WMP 6.4, so that's

the one I use in my PHP-scripts as the player-object.

If another CLSID is used in the source of the page, you should

upgrade your copy of WMP; WMP 11 *should* play all ID's.

Sorry, but can you please explain how I check about the CLSID?

• Open the page where the player should be
  
• Display its source-code (in IE: right-click "Show source")
  
• Look in the source for code like this:
  

  <object id='Player' 
    classid='CLSID:XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX' 
    width='320' 
    height='70' 
    TYPE='application/x-oleobject' 
    CODEBASE='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715' 
    standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' 
    VIEWASTEXT>
  [...]
  </object>

  
  

• The CLSID is right next to where it says: "classid=" (in my example at the XXX'es)

Greetz,

Peter.
