Windows media

Q: How do I view streaming video?

A: To view the videos, you must download and install the freely available Windows Media Player software from Microsoft.

Q: What is streaming media?

A: Streaming media allows you to begin viewing the video before the entire file has been transmitted.

Q: Why can I not play video content?

A: Newer versions of Windows Media Player, starting with the version included in Internet Explorer 5 and Windows 98 Second Edition, do not support playback of any RealNetworks content. Windows Media Player supports Windows Media (WMA, ASF), MP3, WAV, MIDI, AVI, and other formats.

Q: How can I use my Windows Media Player with Netscape?

A: You need to have the Netscape Navigator plug-in that is automatically installed with the Windows Media Player. The plug-in, Npdsplay.dll, is copied to the "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player" folder during setup. If this file is present, the plug-in will have been installed for all detected Netscape Navigator installations.

If you do not have the plug-in, you can reinstall Windows Media Player to install the plug-in.

Once the player is installed, you may need to refresh your Web page (which should contain "navigator.plugins.refresh();") to get the plug-in table updated. Alternatively, you can enter "navigator.plugins.refresh();" in the address bar, and then reload the current page.

Note In Netscape Navigator 6.0, you may encounter some problems with streaming media content. The plug-in architecture in Navigator 6 has been completely redesigned, which breaks compatibility with existing plug-ins. We are aware of the issue. No workaround is available at this time. The Windows Media Plug-in remains compatible with earlier versions of Netscape Navigator and other browsers.
