Hi,

I am using the aspnet video control as follows
<aspnetvideo:windowsmedia id="WindowsMedia1" runat="server" VideoURL="" Height="100%" Width="100%" InvokeURLs="False" ShowContextMenu="False" UIMode="Full" WindowlessVideo="True"> </aspnetvideo:windowsmedia>

and assign a videourl at runtime using the following code

WindowsMedia1.VideoURL = TargetPath

where the targetpath points to a windows media server.

This works with IE but in firefox the audio plays but there is no video.

When i right click on control in a IE window there is a context menu but nothing in Firefox.

any suggestions ?

regards

I had to do some balancing as well with Firefox, but it was with RealPlayer, not Windows Media, so this may not be as useful to you. The first troubleshoot I'd do is to replicate the video player with the old object/embed model...that could should be findable through Google easy enough. If you get the same results with object/embed that you did with the ASPNetVideo component, it's Firefox.

Firefox and Real, I know, don't work well together (actually, Real explicitly states they don't support Firefox!) The only combination I've found to work is Firefox 2 and Real 10.5. This could be a similar situation with your Firefox browser needing an update. And it does matter...I had like Firefox 1.506, a colleague had Firefox 1.505, and we got two different results when we saw the video player area! We ended up stating in our system requirements IE6+/FF2+ and Real 10.5+.

Hope this helps you some.

Jake
