Windows Media Player Issues

[trapzilla2002]

I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 9 for OSX.

Now, when I go to the CNN page and try to play a video, a splash screen comes up and says "PLUG IN WARNING!" "The CNN.com video experience is optimized for Windows Media Plater 9. No Windows Media Player detected" Then a button for "Get WMP".

I already freaking have it!!!!!!

I also tried running WMP in the background and then clicking ont he link. Still same crap.

Any help? Thanks!

I would suggest flip4mac but looking at your platform there isn't a Universal Binary as yet. As flip4mac also included the plugins for WMP.

Windows Media Player isn't a Universal Binary is it? I thought they stopped all development of it, or maybe that was Internet Explorer...or both...

They stopped anymore development of Internet Explorer and they didnt bother updating WMP its still version 9.

i hated that wmp for macs with a passion. and i tried to delete it but it wouldnt let me delete the files, luckily i had just gotten the computer and didnt reinstall the os yet so it was ok. ive said that in a few threads but i figured i may as well toss it in here too

They have ended development of WMP for Mac past Ver 9.
Microsoft are however offering the codecs which enable you to play all standardized Windows Media Files through QT.

Unfortunately though, the UB is STILL not available.
They are committed to releasing one, though.
