I think the issue there is that you're using object tags and javascript to
attempt to control the embedded player, which we do not support.
Try using an embed tag ala
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
src="[the path to your content] "
showStatusBar="[true/false]"
showControls="[true/false]"
kioskmode="[true/false]"
height="[player height] "
width="[player width] "
scale="ASPECT"
</embed>
That should work much better. The src attribute can still link to the ASX
file, assuming that it works with flip4mac. I'm getting 404 errors in my
browser still, are you sure it's publicly available?)

Rowby,
I think your asx file doesn't work - i.e. I can't even play that in a
standalone player. Flip4Mac gives me a 404 (not found) error.
I have tried it with an MMS link directly to the streaming server and
that works fine, too. The http link I am using in my example goes to a
web server where the asx sits, which in turn has the mms url to the
media file in it.

Hi,

Are you 100% sure that your ASX URL's are correct?

Loaded directly into Windows Media Player none of the ASX URL's are working
in my end, but the URL to the media is

ASX files are not served from WM Servers. Try putting the ASX on a web server.

Andy and co

If Flip4Mac can't playback server side playlists, is it possible to
create some sort of filter on the server that converts a server-side
playlist into effectively a permanent live stream (i.e. without media
changes)?

If anyone wants to sell me one, do contact me off list. I need Mac users
to be able to watch a server-side playlist "channel".

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday indeed!!!

Have you tried sourcing your live PP frmo the WSX therefore the client
just connects to a live PP, rather than the WSX? Not sure how this
would handle the changes between the media items as I haven't tried
but this seems like the obvious approach.

Thanks for the fast response. We already do that and Flip4Mac fails
every time when the media changes. Check out www.onthefrontline.com for
an example if you need one.
