This was at the tail end of a post well down the list...
       I'm not having any luck with getting FireFox (I'm assuming Netscape and Mozilla will be the same) to display sound/video files. It doesn't matter which browser I use to add media through CuteEditor, it always plays back properly in IE, but never in FireFox! Here are the details...

Location of files: [domain root]/uploads/media/[userid]/
Location of CuteEditor instance: [domain root]/blog/blogs.aspx
When media is entered and displayed...
Database-stored path for media: /uploads/media/[userid]/SoundFile.mp3
Path in page source code after page generation: same as above for both browsers.

Although the above media path shows up for both IE or FireFox, the file plays fine in IE, but not in Firefox - the media controls show up, but nothing happens when you click them.

I know there are differences in the way these two browsers handle media...what settings should I use to ensure both browsers display media? I've tried several changes, but nothing's stuck so far. [My audience, a local school district, is almost exclusively IE, but - as luck would have it - I'm the FireFox user!!! Ugh!]

Thanks.

Yes, I see the flash on the "general" page. The other (the default demo) I don't see a flash, but I can browse to and insert a video from your collection of stock ones, and it plays. A glance at the source code for the page shows the default reference,

/uploads/kick_baby_2.mpeg

My page with the editor instance is in a different subdirectory off of the root than the upload directory - is that the problem? There is method to that madness, (I have two subdirectories referencing the user's upload area), but in any case, I'm too committed to changing that now...

...bump...

Sorry, I've been out of the coding loop with teacher support and classroom responsibilities for the last week...have only had the last hour to climb back into it.

Again, this isn't flash...it's WMV. As mentioned elsewhere, CuteEditor through FireFox thinks it's flash when uploaded or inserted, but CuteEditor though IE knows it's a video....though that's of no consequence since either browser works.

Here is the home page for my blog system which has a video inserted right on the page...

https://edtech.fcps.net/blog/

...and that video plays fine in IE and not in FireFox. the "Properties" window for the video using Firefox shows a path of

C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033\.\uploads\media\1\media\multimedia.wmv

The full URL of the video is https://edtech.fcps.net/uploads/media/1/media/multimedia.wmv, which is exactly how IE shows it.

As I mentioned, it doesn't matter at all which browser I use to enter the video. Also, the home page above is NOT the place where the video is first entered, just a display of the database text entry stored as pulled from a CuteEdit window elsewhere. Let me know which config settings I need to give you to check this.
