Re: SM2 and attached wmv file in a mail

Ray_Net:

Now with SM2 the only way to play this file is to save it on disk then 
double-click when under the disk explorer. g 

Mhm, i just tried it by sending a PM to me with an attached .wmv. Plays
happily after double-clicking. :)

But i am on Linux and not using such an ancient SM as you. ;)

So with SM1 i was always able to play the playfile.wmv attached file.

Now with SM2 the only way to play this file is to save it on disk then 
double-click when under the disk explorer. g 


With SM2 the Double-click or Rigth-click+choiceopen ends with:

...a pop-up windows media player saying:
There is a problem with the URL or file you are trying to open or 
play. If you are trying to open an URL, the URL may not be valid.
If you are trying to play a file, the type is not recognized by 
Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play the file.
However, you should only play files from a thrusworthy source. Do you 
want the player to try to play this content ?
If you click on yes ... the result is another pop-up with the 
following info:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the sepcified 
protocol is not supported. If you type a URL in the Open URL dialog 
box, try using a different transport protocom(for exemple, http: or 
rtsp:)





This was just addressed a couple of days ago, go under 
editpreferencesbrowserhelper applications scroll down the listing to 
find wmv or any other file type giving you trouble, I had trouble with 
this and PDF's not opening correctly, the set player preference to Use 
Windows Media Player By Default and all should be good.
