Default IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play

When I click on a video on MSN, the video window opens but nothing is
displayed. Clicking on one of the thumbnails for another video story and
then clicking on 'Play' or 'Add' also produces no result - no error message,
just nothing happens.

The same thing happens whether I try from the main MSN page or the 'My MSN'
page.

I've installed Microsoft .NET 1.1, with the same result.

IE 6 SP1, WinXP SP1, with all critical updates for IE and Win installed.
Norton Internet Security 2003, but the problem occurs even if NIS is
disabled.

Do you have to have the MSN-specific version of IE to view MSN video?

Thanks.

Default IE 6 and MSN Video - doesn't play

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...

Line: 1
Char: 800
Error: 'Playlist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo

Error: 1
Line: 1
Error: 'oPlaylist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

At this point the page is up. If I click on any video clip, I get:

Line: 5
Char: 34
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
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...

What does this suggest?

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 ... .

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?

Default 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 ... .

Hi... I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

Has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks

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...

Line: 1
Char: 800
Error: 'Playlist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo

Error: 1
Line: 1
Error: 'oPlaylist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

At this point the page is up. If I click on any video clip, I get:

Line: 5
Char: 34
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
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...

What does this suggest?

then clicking on 'Play' or 'Add' also produces no result - no error

message,
just nothing happens.

The same thing happens whether I try from the main MSN page or the 'My

MSN'
page.

I've installed Microsoft .NET 1.1, with the same result.

IE 6 SP1, WinXP SP1, with all critical updates for IE and Win

installed.
Norton Internet Security 2003, but the problem occurs even if NIS is
disabled.

Do you have to have the MSN-specific version of IE to view MSN video?

Thanks.
