Hi,

I have installed wmp in MAC OS. It can play the wmv files which are located
locally on the server.  But it doesnt play the files from local streaming
server.  
Any help please......

Which streaming server are you using ? WMP can't stream from Darwin or
QTSS if that's the server "local" on the Mac.

It would be useful to find out the properties of the file on the
streaming media server, it won't change the format so if a file is
encoded using a codec not available in Mac WMP or Flip4Mac then you're
SOL.

HTH

FYI, you can find Flip4Mac WMV here:
