This bug has only impacted the following, but I'm afraid it might have wider ramifications. I've just (last 2 days) downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0.
I'm testing a webpage (thanks to Codebrain) with the following code:
<embed NAME="PurpleSphereSound" SRC="Since I met you.mp3" MASTERSOUND LOOP="false" AUTOSTART="false" AUTOREWIND="true" HIDDEN="true" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0">
When I try to load the page, I'm told I need a plug-in (Apple Quicktime). Same happens with a .WAV file. These file types are registered to Windows Media Player on my Windows system, and yet the types are not registered in Firefox 'file types'.
I do not want to install Quicktime when Windows already has the ability to play these files.
Here's the complete code for the page...without the .gif. It should work with any mouseover so...
<html>
<head>
<title>CodeBrain.com JavaScript</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// Script Source: www.CodeBrain.com
var audioOn = false;
function audioDo(doWhat,toWhat){
if(audioOn){
var A = eval('document.'+toWhat);
if (A != null){
if (doWhat=='stop') A.stop();
else{
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') A.play();
else{
if (document.M == null){
document.M = false; var m;
for(m in A) if (m == "ActiveMovie"){
document.M = true; break;
}
}
if (document.M) A.SelectionStart = 0;
if (document.M) A.play();
}
}
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" onLoad="audioOn=true">
<p>
<a href="http://www.codebrain.com" onMouseOver="audioDo('play','PurpleSphereSound')" onMouseOut="audioDo('stop','PurpleSphereSound')">
<img src="PurpleSphere.gif" border="0" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100"></a>
</p>
<p>
<embed NAME="PurpleSphereSound" SRC="Since I met you.mp3" MASTERSOUND LOOP="false" AUTOSTART="false" AUTOREWIND="true" HIDDEN="true" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0">
</p>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always

Used Media Player already defined for these file types on Windows.

This has to do with what is set up to handle these files via plugins. This is a seperate file association from what you might have in explorer. Though I'm not entirely sure what firefox's role is in this.
Most likely this would be fixed by reinstalling wmp, and then editing it's associations for web content. Why it defaults to Quicktime is beyond me.
Most likely Invalid, moving to core -> plugins.

The activeX version of the Windows media player plugin for IE may support Wav and Mp3 but I think the Netscape plugin version of Windows media player doesn't support those file formats. They are not listed for the plugin in about:plugins.

Indeed, the NSCP WMP plugin does not support this==>invalid.
