You're using a Mac? You/they have filters turned on?
The free Flip4Mac plugin will play wmv videos in browsers and QuickTime.
Windows Media Player 9 still runs OK in OS X, http://snipurl.com/9gxas.
I use if for stream links, and to play videos that I don't want to tie

I know. But it keeps coming back. I keep killing it off in the Services
