code for media player

What browser do you use? I remember seeing a post on WHT about a firefox problem.

 

I use firefox. I wonder if there is a fix for it?

 

use AUTOSTART="false" rather than the autoplay... see a tutorial http://dwebcity.com/Tutorials/HTML/HTML_Music.htm on putting audio or vedio files on web pages.

 

Hodgedup and I were having a discussion about this a while back - i gave him some code that seemed to work for him. here's the link to the thread -

I think I am dead in the water with this issue. Unless I want to do server level changes, I'm not going to be able to do this with firefox. I have found other code that might work, but doesn't seem to want to work within a wordpress post, which is where I need it.

 

Hey bschneider5, I found this great website that you can select different options when using media player. Hope this helps!
