Plugin Problem - Dr Small - 11-19-2006
I can't get the Windows Media Plugin to work, that will play embedded music in a webpage.
When I click on the plugin, to install it, it pops up and searches for the right plugin and here's the what it says:
Unknown Plugin [application/x-mplayer2]
I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 11, thinking that might be the problem, but it still doesn't play the embedded audio.
I even have QuickTime Alternative installed, and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions for a resolution?

I never was able to get the Windows Media Player to install in Firefox 2. I finally gave up.

I don't have a Windows Media Player plugin, yet my Firefox plays embedded music. :/ Weird....

You don't need a plug-in to play embedded music on a webpage though 0.o

Evidently, I do, seeing that the embedded music won't play.
here's the source of it:
