A word of warning: To all those who dabble in the world of streaming media, I recently installed VLC Media Player on to my desktop and discovered that it became the default player for ALL MEDIA content in Fire Fox and destroyed my gorgeous embedded Windows Media video content’s functionality… We are totally dependent on the reliability of players and plug ins in this game and when Windows Media Player embed tags stopped working completely, I discovered that the only fix was… Uninstall the VLC Media Player…
VLC is great, but if you work in multiple formats/players/embed tags, BEWARE… It’s a MIME type hog in FF… Anyone have a better fix for this yet other than this for the VLC Media player ? Of course, if you use OBJECTY in your tags, maybe you can skip all that pain, but if you can’t change the tags… You know what to do!
Happy Streaming, Suckers!
