How to play .wmv in safari without Flip4Mac

External Since: Jan 25, 2006 Posts: 10

Hello guys,

i m a student working on a project in which one server is streaming a
..wmv file with mms protocol, and i want to display that file in Mac OS
X. I installed flip4mac first and with that safari displayed the file
with quicktime componant in the web browser, but for that every user
has to install the Flip4Mac which could be little difficult sometimes.

so is there any other plug-in provided by the media player or anyone
else so that i can direct embed media player in safari browser and then
safari can play that file with media player componant instead
quicktime.

i m sorry. i m new in this area. i hope you all get my point.

Thanks.

you are right Corentin.

but in the case of WMP 9, it is required by most of the applications, i
mean in general use. so i m assuming that most of the users will have
WMP 9 already installed. but there are many users who even dont know
bout Flip4Mac.

now my question is when i try to view .wmv on the browser, WMP 9 opens
a separate windows and then plays that file. so is it any way that i
can play the file inside safari browser, just like quicktime files can
be played in the browser window.

Thanks.
