Thanks, David.

I've forwarded this thread to Jav, and we'll see what he can do.

Yes, if your on a unix machine you need to add handlers to the

srm.conf
file,
they would look like:

AddType video/x-ms-asf asf asx
AddType video/x-ms-wmv wmv


???

Repeat after me: "Who put the tribbles in the quatro-triticale?!"

(That makes about as much sense to you as your post does to me... :-)


Well, I can verify remotely that your site is being hosted on a unix
box (running Apache 1.3.27). Unless it's choosing to lie to people,
but that's rare.

What's being suggested above is that maybe the server isn't configured
to send the right mime type for those files (the browser should use
the mime type to determine how to display it; some also use other
things, and will override an incorrect mime type). Apache by default
does that by mapping the file extension to an appropriate mime type.
The statements above, in srm.conf (or any apache config file), would
tell it what mime types to use for .asf, .asx, and .wmv files.

Your friend doing the hosting could easily check that, and easily fix
it if that's the problem.
