Guest Keytone Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi everyone! I've just become aware of a big problem for me. I started learning HTML about a year ago from online tutorialsand fell in love with it. I have a website that I've put a lot of videos on. Some are "embed code", some are simlpy links, some are YouTube and some are.wmv files.Appearently the wmv files don't work on everone's computer. I think what is happening is that the viewer's computer is just picking their default media player to try to open the video and play it, sometimes it wants to download the media file. I don't know what to do. I want the viewer to just click on the file and have it play. I have many wmv videos and don't know how to make them playable on everyone's computer. Can you help me??!!

Ingolme Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The WMV extension refers to "Windows Media Video" so it's only supported on Windows systems, unless other systems have a special media player installed. You can't expect all files to open directly in every browser, it depends on what settings the user has for a specified file extension. I have a feeling I already answered a question like this today.

Guest Keytone Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes, you did! But I still don't know what to do to make my videos playable to everyone. I don't know anything at all about Flash. Is that what could help me?I posed this question in Multimedia because I didn't know the proper forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A quick search for a Flash video player brings me this: http://flowplayer.org/It supports WMV files too, so you can try it. Follow the setup instructions from their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
