this message if I download the file, or ask the one who created it to

when WMP v9 was released I thought that recieving video streams from my ISP

it's lack of DRM support in the Mac client and that embedding objects in IE
doesn't work properly. One could wonder if MS ever will ...

I use dynamically produced asx files to playlist content in an embedded
WMP player. When an asp file is loaded by the player, it renders the .asx

I've got Windows Media Player 9 running on at G3 with OS 10.2.6
I've got avi files that use Microsoft Video 1 data format and the

Problem playing streaming video/slides with audio
presentations.  Getting a variety of error messages:
"The channel does not support the stream format"
"VB Script Runtime Error"

Is there anywhere I can download WMPv9 directly without a link back to
microsoft ? Download hangs from microsoft. If anyone could send me
the file via e-mail I would be eternally grateful.

I have a sh*tload of WMP files in which I can view the video but not the
audio because it uses ACELP.NET audio codecs. I couldn't wait for WMP
9 to come out becuase I though when it did I could play back these
videos WITH SOUND but guess what? WMP for Mac STILL does not play

Hi I have a strange problem on
MAC OS X 10.2.8 WMP9

mms://drilmedia.dr.dk/komponent/DMB/DTC00000340/A00003050/A003050_0167.wmv

Help!
The problem? Let's use WSVN-TV and WHDH-TV streaming video as a
case study.
(www.wsvn.com/video and www.whdh.com/video are the URLs)

Well, no sooner did I get WMP to work on panther than MS releases
version 9.  I installed it and now back to the same problem--it hangs
whenever I try to open a wmv or asf file just like the last one!
What's the deal?

After downloaing WMP v9 onto my Mac G4 Sys 10.3  I am unable to
access  radio stations. For an instant it will indicate that it is loading but
then nothing . I have repaired permissions and deleted references to  
WMP in preferences but to no avail.  Any suggestions?
