Can't view vid clips in Firefox - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Wyodiver33 · 04-02-2006, 02:10 PM

HHi all. I have Firefox 1.5 and I can't view .mpg or .wmv files. They work fine in IE but I don't want to use IE for anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

Is adblock on by any chance????

I hate to be a thread-leech, but I can't play embedded audio from YTMNDs via firefox. I know many also have this problem, and there's a chance that mine and Wyodiver33's problems are related.

MikeSty, adblock Was on. Turned it off and vids work fine. Thanks. Good luck with your audio issue.

By the way, you don't have to complete disable adblock. Usually just deselecting the "obj tabs" in the adblock options does the trick.

MikeSty, I was having the same problem and traced it to the quicktime installation. Try either DLing the latest quicktime version from apple or use the alternative codec pack.

You can get the alternative codec here Here. I use it since quicktime is such a resource hog, and it lets you play .mov files in other player as well.

<br>What is adblock?
<br>Do I nedd to uninstall all quicktime applications?
<br>I'm not very good at this so any help is greatly appreciated.

A little search on here would have been a good thing, not saying your answer is in the thread below, but there are a lot of replies and the problems are VERY similar to what you are having, not to mention the thread is about 6 below this one.
