IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play
I find it passing strange that Microsoft hasn't come up with a solution for
this problem, given the number of posts regarding it. I spend less time on MSN and more on Yahoo (where the videos play just fine) because of this. You'd think MS would like to keep us on MSN ... . "Jeff" wrote in message ... Hi... I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution? Thanks Jeff "Doug Gill" wrote: Have exact same problem except with NIS 2004. MSN video plays fine on my other (work) computer. MSN Video support ran me through a bunch of stuff which didn't help. Somehow, I turned on a show errors on page option in IE and get the following when msnvideo.msn.com/video comes up: Line: 196 Char: 178 Error: Expected '}' Code: 0 URL: msnvideo...

When I mouse over the forward and back buttons around the empty playlist or any of the other playback control buttons, I get this twice: Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: Object expected Code: 0 URL: msnvideo...

IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play
Hi,
I have the exact same problem as well. One thing I discovered however, is that I can play MSN videos at an alternative URL for MSN videos of http://video.msn.com/p/player.htm Everything works fine with this web page and all videos play fine. However, trying to access the same content at the main MSN Video URL below does not work. Not even the "Help" link works. http://msnvideo.msn.com/video/default.aspx Could this be a Javascript problem? "Jeff" wrote: Hi... I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

Bill: If you are using Norton Internet Security and Windows XP then check out
my comments, this section, "MSN video" (13 Posts), zim. I hope this will help you solve your problem.

IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play
Zim - thanks for all you good work on this, but, for my setup, it didn't
solve the problem. I did all the steps, and still no MSN video, even after a system restart. So until MS and/or Symantec figures this out and issues a fix, I'll do videos from other places. MSN is obviously a lost cause. "Zim" wrote in message ... Bill: If you are using Norton Internet Security and Windows XP then check out my comments, this section, "MSN video" (13 Posts), zim.

IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play
Hello there,
Hope you don't mind me barging in here. Until I moved to a hardware firewall I used Symantecs Firewall and had no problems with it. May I suggest you check out the port numbers that it is blocking routinely. You will find evidence of what is being blocked in the log file, in order to get a fuller picture you might find that you need to make the size of the log larger than the default. By watching the log as you perform the necessary actions to view the video you should see exactly why the video is being blocked. Anyway, on the issue of Microsoft or Symantec figuring it out, there is no fault in the software, its just a setting that needs correcting. -- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk --- All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.
