Re: WMP Plugin for FireFox HAS PROBLEMS!!!

We went away from traditional URL flips several years ago
and now use the "TEXT" command for everything and
use javascript in the browser to take the TEXT scripts and
turn them into slides, text and other commands we choose to
send. I would recommend you do the same - solves alot of
problems.

Lets not flame Microsoft when they (finally) do something
good for the community ;)

brandon,

As a developer of WMT solutions, I have to test what you
guys give to the public.  And, no my default browser is NOT
I.E.  

PX with XP and FF 2.0 wotks with old player, breaks badly
with plug in.  

Rather than blame the messenger why not test things befgre
release or have your developers that actulally do thing with
your products test the applications prior to release.  Now I
can get techemails saying the WMT is broken.

Seriously, this is a real bad issue and I am saddened to
once again see what is looking like another half baked
deployment.  First Flip4Mac, then WF/P then with no
announcement we get silverstreak (or whatever) and now a
plug in that breaks scripts.

What in the H is going on in the WMT group these days?  When
will you guys start:

A. Working with developers other than Akamai and your elite
group B. Deliver players that work and are cross platform C.
 Lose the attitude that you are gods and we shouyld be
blamed for your sloppy work

It's no wonder Flash is kicking your butts all over the
Internet.

Sorry to rant but this is truly a bad thing you just did
(the release of the product, not the blaming me for your bad
code).

>Well, I installed the plug in on my test computer and
then opened Firefox.  I ran a test of an embedded video
player with scripts placing URLs into a slide frame.  Prior
to the plug in everything worked, not the URL flips appear
in I.E. as a new window!!!!!
