y2kboy23 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've been using Firefox on Vista Business for about a day now but I noticed that if there is a website that displays a movie with the Windows Media Player plugin, they won't play. I looked at the plugins under Firefox and it doesn't show it there. Does anyone know if this is a Firefox problem or is this a Vista problem?

mattrobs Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It happens with XP sometimes too. Try this. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/532652-firefox-and-vista-windows-media-player/#findComment-588258162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basho1 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 You need to copy three files (npwmsdrm.dll, npdrmv2.dll and npdsplay.dll) to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" directory. This link has the files and more info Windows Media Player Plugin files Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/532652-firefox-and-vista-windows-media-player/#findComment-588258425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I never did get this to work... Copied those files across too. One of the reasons I went back to XP.

Preppy Veteran Posted February 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 15, 2008 Use the port25 plug-in for WMP (all versions of WMP11, XP or Vista). The npdsplay.dll plug-in and that sort of thing are really old, if I recall correctly, and aren't really what you want.
