[__G__]

http://www.youshare.com/uploads/video/kbc_13.wmv

Make a new template for .wmv files in your template folder:

1. Go to templates/<your_template>/media
2. Make a file called wmv.html and copy this into it:

<object id="MediaPlayer1"
classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"
standby="Loading Microsoft&reg; Windows&reg; Media Player components..."
type="application/x-oleobject" height="375" width="500">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="3">
<param name="BufferingTime" value="8000">
<param name="AllowChangeDisplaySize" value="true">
<param name="ControlType" value="1">
<param name="EnableContextMenu" value="true">
<param name="stretchToFit" value="true">
<param name="uiMode" value="full">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage=" http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="{media_src}" name="MediaPlayer1" autostart="false" height="375" width="500">
</object>

3. Save it.

Then go to adminCP -> Settings and in "Upload image settings" (or somthing like this, i have polish version...) there will be somthing like "Accepted extensions" - put wmv at the end Don't forget the > , <

You sure something in your IE settings stopping this?
Usually IE allows everything while other browsers stop it.

Just an idea, hope it helps

everyone reportin me the same prob not playin in IE i guess on the new one some default settin may be stopping it it plays good in FF on everyones comp here is the link u can check bro http://www.mehsus.com/img1226.htm

Ok, well its got me why it is not working 

However when trying to see it I did get a notice of a scripting error on the page, but I was unable to get where or what the error is.
Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Maybe a conflict somewhere? Your guess is as good as mine.

i asked couple others same prob bro works in firefox but On IE it aint workin is there any other code for IE ?

[CeJay]

I was able to view a little of the error but not much before the window closed.
It said:
 
Line: 231
Character: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.mehsus.com/img1226.htm

Sorry I couldn't get anymore info.

Ceejay bro do u think something would be wrong in wmv.html cause i mean it works in firefox thingy

[CeJay]

I personally dont think so if you copied the code exactly as shown and does work in FF.
But try rebuilding wmv.html and see if that helps, don't think it will but it dont hurt to try it to eliminate that part.

Just so you know IE and FF interperet scripts a little different then each other. So it could easily be a conflict in IE. I just don't know what it causing the conflict.

[__G__]

bro i just copied the code to wmv.html i guess than its just some IE error

[CeJay]

Did you look into that script error to see if that is causing a conflict somehow?

Right now I am guessing that is the problem until someone else that has added this has the same problem.
