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 - )))

ill try reinstalling both...but...


what do you mean....use opera to change the setting....what setting, how?, whats opera browser have anything to do with it??

[TJ-]

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]

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]

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??? :-\

[riles9262]

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]

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.


....

[md5]

Can you play the media stream from your HDD?

[dj_stick]

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]

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]

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]

could you post one of the clip link at issue ?

[Captain EBD]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[PangingJr]

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]

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]

you open the page with IE ?

[Judas]

yep

[PangingJr]

view the page source and change the height="240" to height="420" (or more), then save it as a .html and open the html with IE, this should look better.
i think Mozilla and Opera are look the same in the orginal height...

[Captain EBD]

i checked out the link while i was at school, and i got the same problem as Judas. I tried it at home and of course the browser froze for few secons and then closed and crashes, no error message, just closed.

anyway, this is not a browser problem. try roll back to the version of the media player that was on your computer before installing WMP 10. open Add/Remove and select the 'Show updates' check box, scroll down to the Windows Updates section and select Windows Media Player 10, and then click Change/Remove. and see how this goes. then you can try installing the WMP 10 again.

never try this method myself, so i'm not sure what comes out,
but if i have same problem like yours i'd try that.
