HI, i know some of you guys are firebird users and I have a q for you guys. Does anyone know how to have a video file open directly on windows media player instead of having firebird download it to the temp directory and opening it on windows media player only after its completed. I would like it to open directly on windows media player like IE does so it can download and play at the same time provided its an mpg,wmv. I'm asking here b/c believe it or not, nobody could answer this question on the official firebird forums...pretty pathetic huh.

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Dave

well after hunting and hunting...i finally found that the beta version of firebird 8 actually fixed the problem....whoopie.

Now just one other kink I gotta figure out. When you save a php file that redirects to another file...it always saves the php filename itself and the contents of the file it redirected to.

 

Ex. Right Click and save this. This is a redirection script that redirects to an mp3 file. Firebird saves this as download.php instead of the actual filename. On IE, it saves the correct filename.

Anyone know if i can get this working like IE.
