WMP videos from thatvideosite.com don't work


Recommended Posts

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?

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.
