Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / February 2005WMP not working on some sites. Example: NBC Tonight Show clips
When I go to NBC - The Tonight Show website (and others): http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/jaywalking/ index.shtml If I try to play any of the clips, I get error messages from Safari. The first one is; The page „NBC.com > Screening Room‰ has content of MIME type „application/x-oleobject‰. Because you don‚t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can‚t be displayed. Then I get one from NBC's site that says; The current version of your browser does not support ActiveX Windows Media Player 9 not detected. I have the latest version of Mac OSX 10.3.8 and the latest Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. This problem has been around for a long time, but is becoming more and more common. Is Microsoft going to issue an updated version of WMP for Mac that will address these problems? Every single Mac user is affected by this, and frankly there seems to be no rush by Microsoft to fix this! Help! Us Mac users miss out on more and more video content as this problem grows. Hope someone from Microsoft sees and corrects this ASAP?? Thanks for any help in this matter.

We have no Active-X support in any browser in MacOS X.... (except some very basic ones in IE). I fear you are out of luck... [...] > Help!

There is no chance they'll come up with a Mac browser with Active-X support (actually I wish people stopped using Active-X even on Windwos :-> ). then WMP9 is FULL of NASTY bugs that have all been reported from day 1 and no one in charge took the time to fix any of them...
