Hi there again!!!!!!

When I try to open certain files (usually live streaming for radios), I get a message saying that there are some missing components thet need to be installed first
I click ok and firefox finds that windows media player 11 needs to be installed. I press ok and then it says that I should daownload it manually.
I click on manual installation and I am redirected to this http://port25.techne...n-download.aspx, where I am asked to Download the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin but there is not such thing for windows 7.

Am I doing something wrong?

Vista version should do.

Vista version should do.

Unfortunately, vista version did not do a thing. I removed the file and redownloaded it many times (run as administrator) but nothing happens

Shall I downgrade my windows media player?

Can you post a link to that streaming web site?

[sergiovamos]

thanks for your quick answers

the streaming website is this www.e-radio.gr

Unfortunately, it looks, like there is something wrong with that page coding, because I have very same problem.
I had that problem before, when I tried one of Polish radio pages.

It plays fine in "IE Tab Plus", though.

[Broni]

OK, I made it to work here.
I downloaded WMP plugin: http://port25.techne...n-download.aspx
I ran it and I selected "Remove" option.
That removed WMP plugin.
Then, I re-ran installation. It installed and your radio stations play just fine

[sergiovamos]

Despite the fact that I have tried this way before, I did it once again...remove it and then reinstalled it...nothing happens

[Broni]

Are you still getting any error?

firefox finds that windows media player 11 needs to be installed

Those radio stations open as pop-ups.
Make sure, you allow pop-up on that page.
Make sure, the pop-up doesn't open in a background window.

[sergiovamos]

Ι get the pop up window, but on the top of the pop-up window it has the message regarding missing components etc

[Broni]

Are you using latest FF version?

[sergiovamos]

I believe yes...the pc is new and I downloaded the latest version from ff site

[Broni]

Go Tools>Add-ons>Plugins tab
Is Microsoft Windows Media Player Plugin listed there?

[sergiovamos]

actually it is not ... dunno why? maybe because the link for the missing plugin was not for windows 7 ?
