title: Embedded Windows Media Player not streaming avi file?
body: <p>Hi I have a webpage that's using classic ASP that I want  to display a streaming video for the user to watch.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="480" height="428" 
  classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Microsoft® Windows® Media       
  Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject"                               
  codebase="https://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"&gt;    
  &lt;param name="fileName" value="VehiclePreOp.avi"&gt;  &lt;param name="autoStart" value="True"&gt;  
  &lt;param name="showControls" value="true"&gt;  &lt;param name="AllowChangeDisplaySize" value="true"&gt;  
  &lt;param name="ClickToPlay" value="true"&gt;  &lt;embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
  pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="VehiclePreOp.avi" autoStart="True" &gt;
  &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/OBJECT&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For some reason the video doesn't show and the screen is just black within the embedded player. Anyone have any ideas on why the video won't show?</p>
  
  <p>O yes just using IE 8 and not FF or Chrome.</p>
