OK, I'm back. This problem has not been resolved (it has enjoyed two other unresolved threads here). I'm just now
gearing up for a "podcasting" assault (we don't support RSS, hence the
quotes), so I need this to get bumped up again.
I'm using CuteEditor 5.3. I'm entering MP3's and WMA's as sound files
using CuteEditor's media upload and insert rountines. Here's the URL of
an example...
https://edtech.fcps.net/blog/blogs.aspx?blogid=2265
As mentioned above, using CuteEditor, I have entered MP3's and WMA's
both using FireFox 1.5.0.8 and IE 7.0.5730.11 into a CuteEditor window,
and the results are saved into a database. That is simply displayed
as-is in the browser after saving. The results are
<embed name=MediaPlayer1
pluginspage=http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer
src=/uploads/media/67/StoryCornerIntro-Episode1.mp3 width=200 height=40
type=application/x-mplayer2 autostart="0"
showcontrols="1"></embed>
...which is exactly the same when you view "Source" code from either FireFox or IE.
However, IE plays the sound file, and FireFox does not. When I
right-click and select "Properties," IE shows the full URL (in this
case,
https://edtech.fcps.net/uploads/media/67/StoryCornerIntro-Episode1.mp3).
But FireFox shows "C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\.\uploads\media\67\StoryCornerIntro-Episode1.mp3", which I'm
assuming is why it won't play.
Oddly, FireFox does fine with media I've found elsewhere on the
Web. For instance, this test for WMP plugin status
(http://members.aol.com/jrzycrim01/mozilla/wmp/vidtest-HS.html) plays
fine, though I note that the full URL (not the relative one mine show)
appears in the source code for the site.
What settings should I use for CuteEditor to insure that embedded
media play in both browser? I'm assuming that means I'm asking, how can
I insure that CuteEditor inserts the entire URL to any inserted media
file?
