MEDIA PLAYER 9 : 4. Minor issues with the embedded Media Player not respecting the settings for .stretchToFit. Sometimes it is honored, othertimes not. Have placed this setting in both the Param tag and via script. Limited success on this.5. Since upgrading to Media Player 9, have been unable to read the Player.URL property. Our code worked fine in Media Player 7. Our workaround was to use Player.currentMedia.name.We are exploring issues related to service packs (OS and IE), Video drivers and doing a system restore to rollback from Media Player 9 (no uninstall - thanks MS). Any input is appreciated.If you are running Media Player 9 in an embedded IE web page and it is stable, I would like to hear your experience - service packs etc...Issue 1: The cursor issue can be resolved if I set the windowlessVideo property to true, however the playback performance of movies become atrocious, so it really is not an option unless I upgrade all my kiosks. And that is not option ;-) MEDIA PLAYER 9 : Here's the latest. Some progress, but WMP9 in IE6 can definitely cause some problems...Was hoping for someone from Microsoft to jump in, but I guess they think WMP9 is great -- must be the reason why they didn't provide an uninstall.Issue 1: No update other than that reported below. We will have to live with the cursor for now until such time we can update the computers with high end video cards so that windowlessVideo won't impact the viewing of movies.Issue 2: Our only solution remains that which I've posted below. Not great, but is relatively minor.Issue 3: Our BIGGEST issue to date. I've been able to replicate one of the problems on other pc's. Microsoft take note!Setup two frames. One with WMP9 playing a movie and the other frame with a link to an htm targeted to the movie frame containing some content(ie. large jpg). Load the frameset, and have the movie play. Rapidly click on the link in the frame outside of the movie frame and things get weird. The movie frame goes blank if you click fast enough. Hit your back button, and the frame is still blank, but you can hear the movie play. MEDIA PLAYER 9 : The ONLY way we've been able to stop this erratic behavior is by implicity calling the close() method for the WMP player before loading the new HTM file. Even so, the error can still occur albeit it is MUCH less frequent or difficult to reproduce when using the close method. Another recent change that looks to have a positive effect is removing the tag from within a table and placing it within a tag. Don't ask me why, but it appears to be helping...This issue may sound like it is difficult to replicate, but in a touch screen kiosk scenario, I can assure you that it is not. We've experienced this issue numerous times on our kiosks per kiosk per day which eventually crashing IE / XP or just making the program non-responsive.We've run Windows Update on a kiosk we brought in and selectively ran relevant updates in order to fix this issue. The issue remained. If you are interested in seeing this error replicated, contact me and I'll send you the htm files. MEDIA PLAYER 9 : A: This isn't Product Support, and you're looking for extremely specifictroubleshooting. Since I personally have zero time for newsgroups (I'm hereon my own non-work personal time), I don't personally have time to delveinto this. The newsgroups are for peer support, not MS support. If youwant MS product support, contact MS product support. :) B: Er. You'd "roll the player back", and you need the previous player bitsaround to do that, and that's why Microsoft provided a way to "roll theplayer back" (being System Restore). This was addressed in the releasenotes... This plus the other issues seem to be based upon problems with your videocard - it sounds like the video card is failing WMP's attempts to get asurface to draw on. The multi-mon QFE ~might~ help here-======, but at the heart it sounds like most of these problems are situationedupon a non-optimum video card. :\ Zach,I appreciate your help, but those things you've mentioned have already been tried. MEDIA PLAYER 9 : This is occurring on multiple machines (currently 7). I have 3 different video cards in the mix and even bought a new XP certified one and got the Latest XP drivers to try and eliminate video as a possible cause. I have also used Windows Update to selectively apply relevant patches.I rolled back one of the systems using System Restore to undo the WMP9 install. The machine ran for a few hours, then rebooted on it own. It is screwed beyond recognition, so I am reformatting....I truly believe there is a problem with running the control within a web page using frames. I can replicate the problem on different machines, with different video cards with movies encoded with different codecs. I will send you the code if you like.At this point I am putting the machines onto Windows 2000 Professional with WMP 7.1. That's the only release I consider stable based on my experience.I hope this helps others in the newsgroup. And I hope Microsoft realizes System Restore is a crappy way to have people deal with buggy software.
