webgyrl Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi! Just testing out something on a Joomla based CMS and I posted a video using the AllVideos plugin ( http://www.joomlaworks.gr/content/view/16/39/ ) on my site. I can see a flash video, but when I put in a WMV, video 2 strange things happen when I try to view: 1.) I get asked to download Microsoft Silverlight (never heard of that before for WMV!) 2.) The video does not play The video is about 16mb, so not so big. I emailed tech and they said this: It is not something related to the server - but, it is depending on the browser and the system that is accessing. If the system is compatible with the video format and if there is a player it will work normally. The current video is instructing me to install "Microsoft Silverlight" when accessing through firefox (I am sorry, I am on Linux). The link to test the video is here: http://mbstia.com/client/index.php?option=...2&Itemid=58 Any ideas why this won't play for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they released an update today and I'm going to see if it fixes the issue. I'll report back with my findings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It doesn't play for me either on my Mac (and I have silverlight installed). However, I peeked at the page and it references >http://mbstia.com/client/images/stories/videos/Cactusflower_300p.wmv but that returns a 404, but I found >http://mbstia.com/client/images/stories/videos/cactusflower_300p.wmv exists, so you may just have an improper reference in there.
