   Hi Nick, I found the reason for the plugin not working, there seems to be an error in the installer. My Firefox is installed at "E:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox", and the installer puts the plugin-dll at "D:\PFiles\Plugins\" (my boot drive is C: btw, so it's strange it ended up at D: ). I found it by accident while looking for some other files. After moving the dll into the Firefox folder, all videos play correctly. So this is an installer issue, maybe you can forward this to the development team, thanks.

   Hey Nusi:  This is strange.  Can you please verify that you're actually running x64 SP2?

   Hey again Islander:  thanks for the info, I've brought it to the attenton of the Dev team.  Can you say whether you installed FF from the installer, or in some other way?  We need to ferret out why the FF registry keys are missing in order to get a better handle on this issue.  Hope you can oblige this information.

   Great! This plug-in resolved many problems that made Firefox users in trouble.

   Do you have documents about public interfaces that this plug-in provides?

   I notice that I can't use attributes like "showcontrols"/"showdisplay" to control wmp's UI mode. Does it not provide this feature?

   Thanks.

   Zephyr - Those attributes are from the media player 6.4 embedding code, WMP7 and later doesn't support them at all. These days you should be using XHTML compatible embedding code

   You can instead uimode to control some aspects of the embedding

   http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb249370.aspx

   Implement controls, sliders etc with javascript and images if you want to override the default skin in WMP, when using uimode="none", or you can do like most people and use uimode="mini" to leave most of the WMP UI skin elements in place

   You can read about the object model and embedding code changes since WMP6.4 was superceded ~5 years ago~ <g> on these pages :

   There is some problem in the signing up form. My time zone is not displayed. It is IST (+05:30 UCT)

   Getting to the real issue at hand. Could you possibly release this as an extension in the .xpi container so that it can be used on all versions of Firefox - irrespective of the OS ?

   I have a question about this plug-in:

   Could I believe that this plug-in is supported by Microsoft officially?

    "Have you been itching to enjoy your media content on Firefox?"

    I already have *cough*www.apple.com/quicktime*cough* ^_^

    I will use this plug-in though, as I occasionally run across a malfunctioning WMP control while surfing.  Quite annoying.
