Do a request on the bitstream by telnet and check the
header mimetype designation. I guess the file extension
does not get changed, so it should not be the offending
aspect. If you run DSpace through apache, it should be
possible to register the mimetype the mediaplayer ex-
pects for the file type in /etc/httpd/mime.types.
This file is used for mimetype lookup if your apache
uses mod_mime. Or enable mod_mime_magic to support the
file type. I have not tried this, but I guess your
problem has to do with this.

If you have trouble to do these things and your
server is public, then post us a link to the bitstream
in question. Then, give us the section with the lines
starting LoadModule and AddModule of your httpd.conf
to find which modules you use. Third, google for the
wmv and mime to find the required setting. We will
probably be able to solve this on the list.

Bye, Christian
