Denis W. Veteran Posted September 9, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2005 Most sites that use the WMP plugin, for instance putfile.com, work just fine if I play WMV video in Opera. For some reason, the videos from thatvideosite.com just refuse to load the WMP plugin itself. All I get is a blank box that when clicked Opera displays: "You need a plugin to view this (insert video link here) content. Do you want more plugin installation information?" Any fix I can apply to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted September 10, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 10, 2005 The page code is missing the appropriate MIME type. e.g. On http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/541.html if you change <embed src='http://ds1.thatvideosite.com/core/541/female_boxing_one_punch_knockout.wmv' AutoStart='1' ClickToStart='1' ShowStatusBar='1' ShowPositionControls='1' ShowGotoBar='0' ShowDisplay='0' width='450' height='408'></embed> to <embed src='http://ds1.thatvideosite.com/core/541/female_boxing_one_punch_knockout.wmv' type='video/x-ms-wmv' AutoStart='1' ClickToStart='1' ShowStatusBar='1' ShowPositionControls='1' ShowGotoBar='0' ShowDisplay='0' width='450' height='408'></embed> the media plays just fine. So the only way to view the videos in that site would be if the webmaster fixed the site or if someone was to make a user js which added the mimetype if it was missing.
