Firefox and Vista Windows Media Player

[y2kboy23]

I've been using Firefox on Vista Business for about a day now but I noticed that if there is a website that displays a movie with the Windows Media Player plugin, they won't play. I looked at the plugins under Firefox and it doesn't show it there. Does anyone know if this is a Firefox problem or is this a Vista problem?

It happens with XP sometimes too. Try this.

You need to copy three files (npwmsdrm.dll, npdrmv2.dll and npdsplay.dll) to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" directory.

Thank you. That worked perfectly. I was having this problem on Vista too.

Tagging this for when I install Vista soon.

I never did get this to work... Copied those files across too. One of the reasons I went back to XP.

There's a pinned topic about this at the top of the forum with much more replies that may help you.

Use the port25 plug-in for WMP (all versions of WMP11, XP or Vista). The npdsplay.dll plug-in and that sort of thing are really old, if I recall correctly, and aren't really what you want.
