Embedded Windows Media Player woes


Question

At the moment the only choice I have is for embedded windows media player due to the stream for a radio station the website I'm making is mms://{IP ADDRESS}:{PORT}

There's a few really annoying things. Firstly Microsoft doesn't seem to have much, if any documentation on embedded windows media player.

I cannot get WMP to show the Animation in Internet Explorer - it works fine in every other browser. So for the internet explorer one I've had to set the media player size down to just showing the controls bar.

I would ideally prefer it to be an MP3 stream but that is not up to me. If it was I could use a flash player.

Here is the code I have for WMP

<object id="mediaPlayer1" width="800" height="50"
classid="clsid:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" />
<param name="fileName" value="mms://74.71.154.48:3690/" />
<param name="autoStart" value="true" />
<param name="showControls" value="true" />
<param name ="ShowAudioControls"value="true" />
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true" />

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" id="mediaPlayer" name="mediaPlayer" displaysize="4" autosize="-1" showcontrols="true" showtracker="+1" showdisplay="+1" showstatusbar="-1" videoborder3d="+1" width="800" height="300" src="mms://74.71.154.48:3690/" autostart="true" designtimesp="5311" loop="false" />
</embed>
</object>

Is it possible to get it to show the WMP audio animation in IE? and is there any other problems with that code?

(I know about that 'width="800" height="50"' part, I set it to that size so in IE it doesn't show black where the animation is in other browsers)

Many Thanks.
