I am not sure if this is a Windows Media Player problem or an IE problem.
For some reason websites that automatically stream video are not playing in
the Windows Media Player when I visit the website using Internet Explorer. (I
am running SP2) But the sites and the player work fine when I visit them in
my Mozilla browser.

Any ideas where the problem may be? I am running Media Player 10. A sample
of the type of page that I am having a problem with is musicplustv.com In IE
when I go to the page, instead of the video stream loading and playing, I
just get a black screen on the player with a "ready" notation. When I click
on Play, I get an "opening media" message, but it returns to "ready" after
just a few seconds.

I can't figure out why I have this problem in one browser, but not another.

Any help, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

If you right-click on the failed player, do you get Error Details?
