It requires Micro$oft's Media Player, which I refuse to install. Too
often, streaming broadcasts through Media Player require that I
keep the Web page for the broadcast up. This means I cannot change
profiles. I have the same problem with streaming broadcasts through
Flash, but I do have that installed.
This is occasionally true, but in my experience you can usually
right-click the playing WM vid, choose properties, and get the URL. Then
you can copy/paste that into WMP and close the browser if you like. For
Flash vids, you normally have to search the embedding page's source
code, and as often as not these days they're "flv," not "swf."
As for changing profiles in midstream, that's something that had never
occurred to me, but I suppose you have your reasons.
Isn't it possible to set SM's Helper Applications prefs to launch wmv
and similar MIME types in a freestanding player?
I stick to streaming broadcasts through RealPlayer and WinAmp.
Although launched through SeaMonkey, they operate independent of the
browser. Indeed, I can shut down SeaMonkey entirely without affecting
the broadcast reception.
This is a question of taste. I dumped both of those years ago -- RP
because I didn't like its intrusiveness and WinAmp because it didn't
play enough media types. I'm happy now with WMP and VLC most of the
time, with QuickTime as an occasional fallback.
