I got with Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004101405 WinNT4 the following error in the JS
console:

Error: vmp has no properties

Do you have the Viewpoint Media Player plugin installed?

It works for me with Mozilla 1.8a5 as expected if I have the Viewpoint Media
Player (incl. Plugin) installed.

Download at
http://www.viewpoint.com/pub/products/vmp.html

So please install it and if it works, resolve this bug as INVALID.

I didn't install the Viewpoint Media Player explicitly, but I do get output
indicating something related to Viewpoint is loading.  Under the image of the
TV, I see an icon of a mouse I can click, etc.

I'll install the player and see what happens.

Peace...

Ok, installing the plugin fixed the problem.  Resolving bug as INVALID, per
instruction above.

Why wasn't I prompted to install a missnig plugin by the browser?

Thanks!

Peace...

As I understand the page checks it and displays a layer 'window' to download the
player the first time.
