    Im trying to get windows media player to play my Xvid video from a webpage. The player appears on the page but it wont play the file. It keeps wanting to download pluggins.

    Heres the code so far.

    And here is the video: http://www.filefactory.com/file/6a5db8/

    I'm able to play the Divx videos with the Divx player.

    If Xvid had this it would be cool. But I cant find anything like it so Im resorting to getting windows media player to play Xvid. Im willing to try other players that can stream Xvid over the web also.

    You need to download and install the DivX for web plugin when you're watching DivX files through a browser.

    Same as the first time you visit http://stage6.divx.com

    problem with this is .. your expecting your basic webuser to know how to do this as well ... so ultimately I think its doomed to failure ...

    Works fine now. I didnt know Divx web player could play Xvid. Turns out if you uninstall all the Divx codecs and just install the webplayer , then it will play Xvid videos for you :D

    Im not a basic web user so I don't think there will be much of a problem there forbairt ;) So doomed I think not.

    You're not ... but I'd assumed the webpage would be for your average webuser ... :) if its just internal or for yourself then you're good to go :)
