mime error message

error message-The page “Covenant Church live service” has content of MIME type “application/x-ms-wmp”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed. what can I do to get safari to play video?

Hi Austin

WMP files play in Microsoft's Windows Media Player. To play on an Intel Mac you'll need to download/install the free plug-in Flip4Mac. This converts the WMV file to a Quicktime format. After installing it, restart Safari.

Thanks for your reply. I did as you ask, but still received the same message, which also tells me to select between a firefox link or safari link, which takes me to a page for downloading wmp for windows, not a mac from the apple site. safari plays well on youtube and other sites. when I look in the installed plug in directory, this is what i find:

Starman has great advise....I'll add, Windows Media Player has been abandoned by MS for Mac a long time ago. If you installed it, I'd try to get all of it's components out of your Mac. I don't trust that it won't cause some software conflict with the other, approved, plug ins.

Flip4Mac is the primary item for wmv playback (and conversion). If you find video that won't play you can try these; VLC
Perian
Streamclip

However, there are still some content providers that use weird methods to encode their video, and that translates into the basic fact that it just won't play on a Mac. Also, some stuff is protected (DRM..digital rights management), and none of that will play either.

If you wanna post a link, we can see if it plays on our Macs.

Thank you for your reply. Here's the link:

http://www.covenantchurch.org/

go to watch a service.

When I select it, a pop up windows displays with the above error message and the instruction to get a plug-in for firefox or safari. I have both browser, but either link takes me to a site for window platform.

I had WMP from microsoft deleted with AppDelete application.

I have the 3 application you chose in my application folder, but don't know how to run them from a pop up window. Can this be done?

Would someone take a look at my installed plug-in list to see if there a problem? I don't know if that significant or not, but sound like it might be from TopoTone-" Windows Media Player has been abandoned by MS for Mac a long time ago.

I went to your link and got the same pop-up in both Safari and Firefox, both referring to plug-ins for Windows.

Obvious conclusion: they have not coded their page to be seen by a Mac using any browser.

I would suggest you contact them by email and complain. Non-standard coding of web pages is the bane of our lives, and for some reason Apple always gets blamed for the sloppy mistakes of others!

I have the following which enables me to see and hear 99% of what the internet presents us with. That church is one of the 1% that is badly coded and therefore unwatchable.

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!

It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.

Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install ( or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:

RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540

Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)

Perian from http://perian.org/

You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.

(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)

In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).

You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.

Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.

Important: Now repair permissions and restart.

You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:

On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.

On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.

And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:

http://silverlight.net/

So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):

http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/

FOOTNOTE

If you are running Leopard:

Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
