From: Jody Shapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Updating embedded ActiveX control My apologies if this is an old topic, but my searches through the archives so far haven't yielded anything that helped me. I'm embeddding the ActiveX control in a page, but sometimes the stream that it's attempting to play is a G2 stream. The problem crops up with older versions of the Real ActiveX control and it's inability to render the stream. If I try to play the same stream source in the standalone (older) player, it correctly informs that it can't play and that an upgrade is necessary. However, the ActiveX control object doesn't appear to issue any complaints/issues about being unable to play the stream. It just sits there and displays a status message about trying to connect. The two older versions I've had problems with are both older IE4.0 machines that the users haven't installed more recent versions of the RealPlayer and have version info resembling: "RealAudio (tm) ActiveX control 32-bit Version 2.1 2.1.1.9" "RealVideo (tm) ActiveX control 32-bit Version 4.0.1 4.0.20.126" I could force an upgrade via the "CODEBASE" parameter in the <OBJECT> tag to a known-good version (RealPlayer version 6.0.7.380 and 6.0.2.902 work fine), but is there a known-good/standard URL for where the latest version of the RealPlayer lives? I realize that the ActiveX control isn't available by itself and the user will have to download/install the whole RealPlayer package - that should be OK.
