Yahoo Music (Aka Launch.com) in firefox

[Dobby]

Don't know if any of you guys have seen this but there is a plugin for Firefox called PlayLaunch that allows you to play music videos from Launch.com in firefox (apparently).

I'm having some problems getting it working though and the author does not seem to be reachable. I tried sending him the following email:

Hi there,

I'm having some problems trying to get this plugin working. When I click on a video in launch.com (for example http://launchtoday.launch.yahoo.com/player...2da02&z=ms.asx) the new window appears with the link in the address bar but nothing happens.

Ultimately I'd like to use this plugin with winamp but I'm not sure how to do this so I've downloaded MPC and setup the file associations as per your webpage but it's still not working.

My system is a little different than most people's as I have used a utility called nLite to remove components from my Windows XP install such as media player and Internet Explorer. Obviously the codecs for WMV and the like are still needed and these I got from here (http://ksphere.free.fr/site/codecspackage.php).

I can play various video and streaming types through the plugin for firefox on that page.

If you can make some suggestions as to how I might fix this issue I'm willing to test and send back my results and I'll not be mad if we can't get it working

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.
