   Reviewing 1.0.0.8 (Apr 18, 2007)

   It worked though it still stop'd once with an error, but allowed me to watch a video after that. I tried a video on cnn.com and it worked ok. I was hoping it would also fix the problem in Seamonkey, it didnt, so this fix is just for Firefox. Shame, i use Seamonkey the most of all the browsers. Microsoft is such a pain with its software. Just make it easier for the public to use software like WMP. Its not like they are charging people to get wmp.

   1- What I don't understand is - otherwise than on Vista (I'm on XP SP2) - the necessity and the difference between this new 'Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8' and the plug-in which is already installed (that is if WMP was installed before Firefox), npdsplay.dll ?
   
   2- 'Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8' installs in fact np-mswmp.dll in the Firefox plug-in directory. Is np-mswmp.dll to be used with npdsplay.dll or should I remove the latter?
   
   I've been searching everywhere for these answers, if you have them, thanks for letting me know because, frankly, I don't get it! => Thanks :)

   Finally !!
   
   I always used to get bad and stuttery video on cnn.com (even though the audio remained fine).
   Now with this plugin, its perfect and I watched 3 vids on CNN and not a single glitch.
   
   Brilliant. 5 stars, because it does what it says on the tin.

   Install WMP11, make sure you have the latest version of FF. It works perfectly. Perhaps, and this is just a guess, there is some other extension, plug-in or 3rd party application on your system that is causing the problems you have described.
   
   The KB you linked to is ancient and no longer an issue.
   
   The extension you linked to does not display the content within the page itself but loads it into a 3rd party application window which totally defeats the purpose. It's the same as downloading it or streaming it to your media player. The point of this plug-in is that the content is displayed within the page, as intended by the page designer.
   
   If you have specific proxy settings in your browser, you will need to map these same settings through the IE proxy settings. This plugin will not read any proxy settings cached in the Firefox browser.
   
   This is not a deficiency of the plug-in. WMP uses the same proxy info that IE does. Always has, likely always will. They'd have to patch WMP to get it to look for proxy info elsewhere.

   Some people should not be allowed to review...like admin...that bulletin should you actually read it points to a bulletin over a year ago had you actually read it
   
   the update does what its supposed to and everything works fine.
