Captain EBD · Jan 28, 2005, 11:27 PM

My problem started when i was putting in a streaming video on my 'myspace' account. I copy pasted the code into my account profile, sumbit and now my browsers (both ie and firefox) crash whenever i try to watch any streaming video in window media player. Both are up-to-date with updates, versions.

heres the error i get in firefox, in ie i dont get an error - it just crashes and closes.

((Mozilla Firefox 1.0 - )))

TJ- · Jan 29, 2005, 03:45 AM

you said you cant go into your webspace account because firefox and ie crash, so use opera to get to your account.... yea? no?

Captain EBD · Jan 29, 2005, 04:35 PM

yeah ok i can use opera to change it maybe,

but what about all the other sites that have streaming wmp... i keep getting that error on any site...

Captain EBD · Jan 30, 2005, 04:09 PM

ok just downloaded opera, wen't to change my 'myspace' account and it crashed and closed. This has to be something involving wmp...

i am not able to watch and streaming video in any browser.

can anyone help please? - and ideas??? :-\

Reinstall wmp 10 and try it with only the codecs that you need. See if that helps. Have you tried other programs to play the streaming media or just wmp?

Captain EBD · Jan 30, 2005, 09:13 PM

i already reinstalled wmp10. same thing happens.

also no i have not tried playing other streaming media but most things are playing thru wmp so i have no choice.

Can you play the media stream from your HDD?

**dj_stick** · Jan 31, 2005, 05:22 AM

i used to have this issue when trying to play media on the web only - have you installed any codec packs like the k-lite pack?

Captain EBD · Jan 31, 2005, 03:38 PM

yeah i can play media off my hdd...just not in browsers.

im uninstalled and reinstalled my k-lite codecs, got the latest version aswell.

"K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Basic"

and also try finding something relatating to your problem in those posts of this newsgroups.. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...a&ang=en&cr=US

see if one of these helps.

Captain EBD · Feb 5, 2005, 03:24 AM

looked at both those links, nothing describing my problem. Although some other people have posted the same issue on the news groups but there are no replays on their threads or the replay does not help the issue.

....anyways can i completly do a fresh reinstall of wmp10?

Bumping this thread...

its been awhile and im still having this problem...

Can anyone help...?

PangingJr · Mar 12, 2005, 11:39 PM

could you post one of the clip link at issue ?

Captain EBD · Mar 13, 2005, 03:31 AM

do u mean post something about the error? if so theres nothing i can post, it sometimes automaticly trys to stream a video on a site then the browser just crashes and closes, no error.

on some sites where u have to hit play to stream, ill get thet error message that i've listed above..

Judas · Mar 13, 2005, 03:40 AM

could you post a link to an example of streaming video that crashes for you.

BTW, have you attempted a System Restore to a point before the problem accured?

Captain EBD · Mar 13, 2005, 03:44 AM

any site that auto plays streaming .wmv's - so mainly all myspace profiles.

heres a site that crashes me before it even fully loads: REMOVED LINK
also i never had system restore on, never use it unless im testing something.

EDIT BY mig-31: The link contains some inappropriate material for the DH forums.

Judas · Mar 13, 2005, 03:49 AM

Please remove that link emediately ..... it has some pornographic matterials on it (banner add for example)

Please find a more acceptable page...

(BTW... it loaded rather quickly and find for me.. however i did notice in IE that is said there were errors on the page and IE did stop responding for a split second while loading)

Captain EBD · Mar 13, 2005, 06:00 PM

oh lol sorry, i posted that link because i remember that is where i and other people got the urls to post streaming videos on their sites, etc - i never remember there being pornographic material on there, i couldnt check if i wanted to because it crashes.

yea it probably took little longer because it had to load the big list and video...

....got anymore ideas on how to fix this problem...?

Judas · Mar 13, 2005, 06:26 PM

so you can't system restore to a previous time

erg... leaves very little left to do aside from trying to see if uninstalling various media players and other updates that may have been applied but i haven't a clue were to start in your position without just throwing what i need backed up onto a disc or to a seperate partition.. and formating and reinstalling...

Ctrl-Alt-Delete may (most) likely have a few tricks up his sleeve yet

PangingJr · Mar 13, 2005, 09:58 PM

i've no idea atm, but i'd like to see your media player plugins settings anyway,
pls locate a file name 'pluginreg.dat' in your Firefox profile folder and open it with your text editor, then highlight the following lines and copy/paste on your post here.

Code:

Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library|$
5
0|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|*|$
1|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|*|$
2|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|*|$

4|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|*|$
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\npdrmv2.dll|$

Captain EBD · Mar 14, 2005, 05:13 AM

ok im hoping this is what u needed

...

PangingJr · Mar 14, 2005, 12:42 PM

that looks about right to me. i really don't know what to do with this problem.
i think you have problem with site configured with MIME embed type="application/x-mplayer2", try the test object on this page http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/mediaplayer/africa.htm and see if you'll get the same error message ?

Judas · Mar 14, 2005, 05:13 PM

that test page gives me a weird problem though... i get about 15 pixel high video... with this weird balloon with an x in it in the corner of the black space that takes up the rest of the video area...

odd

PangingJr · Mar 14, 2005, 05:27 PM

you open the page with IE ?
