DNN v04.03.07
Media module v03.02.02

I've uploaded a .wmv file into a media module and it displays fine in IE. Unfortunately, it won't play at all in Firefox. It also displays smaller in Firefox than its supposed to. The video is 320x240, which is how it showed in IE. In Firefox, it is 240x155. I can see the controls, but the video stays black and refuses to play.

Any ideas on how to get it to play in Firefox?

Almost a full month and not even a polite "Um, we don't know" from the development team. I guess I need to start looking for a 3rd party module to handle our video needs.

Anybody have any recommendations for a good media player that works in IE and Firefox?

Hi,

I had a problem with a Gallery module that I bought. Not even the page for it showed up on the menu in Firefox, so my problem may be different.

Did you add any Browser Capabilities settings to web.config? It helped in my case.

Good Luck.

I've had the exact same problem.

Looking at the HTML source for the video, when I select a file from the drop down lists, I have:

<embed src='/LinkClick.aspx?link=skeleton.wmv&tabid=63&mid=407&language=fr-FR'
This does not work in Firefox, however setting the media source to a link (albeit on my site) does work..
<embed src='http://mysite.net/LinkClick.aspx?link=skeleton.wmv&tabid=63&mid=407&language=fr-FR'
This may be an issue with the embed tag as the following does work..
<img src='/LinkClick.aspx?link=aspnet.gif&tabid=63&mid=407&language=fr-FR'
Maybe the LinkClick.aspx needs modification..perhaps setting something like the following?
 
Response.ContentType = "type='application/x-mplayer2'";
Although I am suprised this hasn't been spotted yet if it is not a more web server specific problem..
