I think he was asking if is there a plugin which is detected by websites as if
it was WMP. I have all these codecs installed here and can play any Windows
Media format, but some sites still "think" I don't have Windows Media Player
installed and refuse to allow me to play Windows Media.
For example, go to:
http://tv.terra.com.br
Click any video to add it to the playlist. Try to play it clicking the play
button in the playlist. Click the link "Configuração", which appears at the
lower left corner of the player Window. The site tries to detect if you have
WMP and/or Real Player installed. Here, it detects RP, but not WMP. Is there
a plugin which makes the site "think" I have WMP installed?
Taking a rid in this question, I can't play videos at this site with Real
Player neither, but it's detected. Any clue why?
Thanks,
Marcelo
