Fred Derf Veteran Posted April 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2004 mplayer with win32 codecs. I don't think that mplayer will work when the video is embedded in a media player activex applet. It should work if you can get the actual URL of the .ASX file in the location bar but some sites hide this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I might not have ever seen an activex applet with .asx in firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
