The <<player>> macro doesn't actually do ANY of the work of loading the URL you provide. It simply embeds a player (winmedia, real, quicktime, or flash), and then leaves it up to the player itself to retrieve and load the media content. In your case, you are providing the macro with a soruce URL using a simple filename, "file.mp3". Unfortunately, it seems that the player you are using (winmedia?) doesn't correctly resolve a *relative* file reference when viewed online. I suspect that, because the URL is not fully-qualified (i.e., includes the "http:" protocol prefix), the plugin is still attempting to open a *local* file. Of course, you could fix this by using an http://... URL, but then you couldn't play a *local* file when offline, since it would always point at the online resource. Fortunately, there is a solution: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePlugin http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePluginInfo http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePluginFormatters With AttachFilePlugin, you can create 'attachment tiddlers' that define 'virtualized' file references for local *and* remote locations. You can then use the attachment tiddler name in place of the filename in the <<player>> macro. When viewed via http:, the attachment-defined remote URL location is used... when viewed locally, the local file location is used. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios ---------- Was this answer useful?
