See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image:SM2HelperApp.png Search for wmv & you should find the setting for 'Windows Media Audio/Video file (video/x-ms-wmv) or similar. If there, select the 'Action' dropdown and select 'Other' & select whatever you want to play that file type. If it's not there, then you might try renaming and/or editing mimeTypes.rdf. Note that helper applications/mimetypes are typically a result of what you have set in your OS. What application opens/plays wmv on the system if you play an individual file of that type outside of SeaMonkey? Is that application listed in your about:plugins plugins? (Tools|Add-on Manager|Plugins)? Compare with your other systems. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
