I don't think that's a function of Windows Media Player, it's how you 
have your browser configured.  Mine opens it in a separate process.  I 
think if you have Preferences-Helper Applications for the media type 
set to use the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin it plays within the 
page.  But if you have it set to Use Windows Media Player like I do it 
opens WMP in a separate process. Of course the down side of that is 
you have to close the WMP window when it is finished because it is in 
its own process and doesn't close automatically when the media finishes.

Re: seamonkey accessing windows media player

[LMH]

Thanks for the post. I checked in the addons manager, and windows media 
player doesn't appear in the list. I have the VLC plugin installed 
instead. I did disable Windows Presentation Foundation and two plugins 
for MS office which I don't think I want.


I will check on the file types and make sure that nothing is pointing to 
media player. I think it is such a pain in the *ss to have to deal with 
all of this. What does Microsoft not understand about "uninstalled".

I gave up trying to uninstall Windows Media Player.  It seemed that
every time I booted Windows XP, WMP would appear installed.

Instead, I went to the SeaMonkey Add-ons Manager, selected Plugins, and
disabled WMP.  I also disabled Windows Presentation Foundation.

All this required that I allocate media types to some other
applications.  I have RealPlayer, WinAmp, Quicktime, and a few others.

Re: seamonkey accessing windows media player

[LMH]

It depends, for one of the accounts I opened, the home page is google. 
For another, it is a simple website that only has html content as far as 
I can tell.


Both accounts are configured to open on the email page. I can go through 
the process a bit more carefully and document what happens when if that 
would help.


I wouldn't expect for windows to have any file types default to an 
application that isn't supposed to be installed, but there are allot of 
things in windows that don't behave as would be expected.

When you start SM, does it launch the browser and load a home page

Windows for playing such content?

Mostly, your browsing history. Plus meta data, like when you last 
visited each site, how many times you've visited each site, and any

Yes.  You would send to a phone using the carrier's format and the 
recipient's phone number something like:


1234567...@text.att.net

For people on different carriers you can easily use Google to discover 
the proper format.


The repoly would be to the email address you used to send the text.

I see the same thing whenever I send a receipt for an e-mail when

well), and Lightning 1.5b1 was disabled. Why?

Figuring that simply meant that the motogp.com site is hosted by one or
other of the three sites, in much the same way that news.Mozilla.org
server is hosted by giganews.com, I accepted the situation.

When I clicked "I Accept" or whatever the security notification page
offers, I went to www.motogp.com, the padlock in the bottom right was
closed, but I got a virtually blank page, except for an error message:-

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #97.7f8ffe3c.1337515288.639cd956
End Quote.

What is this telling me??

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:12.0)
Gecko/20120429 SeaMonkey/2.9.1



Interesting... I go to that site on a daily basis and never saw this
behavior... using the same version of Seamonkey, but on WindowsXP SP3.




Thanks for checking, Jamie.

For some reason, when I entered www.motogp.com last night, I was taken
to https://www.motogp.com which is where I got the error above.

Tonight, I deleted the "s" in the address above, so I went to
https://www.motogp.com, and all was well.

Don't know where the s came from last night!!



The https uses akamai servers:

www.motogp.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for the following names:
   a248.e.akamai.net , *.akamaihd.net , *.akamaihd-staging.net

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

$ host www.motogp.com
www.motogp.com is an alias for motogp.com.edgesuite.net.
motogp.com.edgesuite.net is an alias for a1661.g.akamai.net.
a1661.g.akamai.net has address 204.2.133.66
a1661.g.akamai.net has address 204.2.133.81

So when you attempt to use ssl, the cert is for akamai instead of
motogp.com.


Yeap, that info mirrors what I saw the first time around, NoOp.

Cannot figure out why I put the "s" in the first time, but I must have!!
