file://movie.wmv might be a relative path, file:///movie.wmv I think is an absolute path starting at /.
You might want to try the correct absolute path as a troubleshooting step -- if it works, you just have to work out how to write a relative path that's acceptable to your browser. If that _doesn't_ work, then maybe try the player plugin on an http-hosted movie. If _that_ doesn't work, then your plugin isn't working.. ;Daniel On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 5:02 AM, bopaige <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I neglected to say that I also tried file://movie.wmv and > file:///movie.wmv > > I can use a relative URL, right?
