Yeah, I've installed both Windows Media Player and RealOne Player on my computer for use with browsers.

OK, downloaded all of these... how do I get them to play inside of Safari?

ex: instaled WMP, but I cannot get it to open inside of site that uses that (ex: msnbc high speed)

shockwave seems to be working..
 
Thusfar, i have not been able to get either Real or WMP to function properly in Safari-- i just don't think the integration is ready yet. I keep a copy of IE around for stuff like that, if i need it...

i'm hoping very much for a new beta release that helps with these filetypes...

an interesting FYI, instead of each browser having it's own location for plugins in X (like it was in 9) now there's a folder for all web browser plugins-- makes switching browsers easier...

Is that the "interner plug-in" folder found in the system folder?

so. you just drop WMP in there? Or Real Player?

What do you have in there, all i have is three quicktime files.
 
Simply launching the RealOne Player for Mac OS X application will put an alias to the RealOne Player browser plug-in into the Internet Plug-ins folder.

The Windows Media Player installer should install its browser plug-in, too.

Safari generally works with the RealOne Player browser plug-in, but the plug-ins were tested with Internet Explorer, before Safari's release.

It did not.. Is there a way I can put it in?
 
this was my question too. how come WMP doesnt load the movie when you click on a link?
