But when I try to load it it says it won’t load and that I need to do it manually. When I try to do it manually, it does nothing.

I’m using a PC with with Windows XP, and I’ve loaded the videos from this particular site on this computer in other browsers with no problem. Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Could you please provide the site address and video link? When you say you tried to install the WMP plugin manually, what exactly did you do?

I got it to work, kinda, but it forces me to cue up windows media player and it takes me out of the Kylo interface which I can do with any browser. I suppose that defeats the purpose of using Kylo.

If you can help me to get it to work within Kylo, that would be great. I wish I could just update Kylo and have everything already in there to work like other browsers.

Here is the place I was trying to load videos from: Time Square Church New York City

It’s not just Kylo that has this issue. Kylo is based on Mozilla’s XULRunner/Gecko libraries, much like Firefox. MozillaZine has a lovely support page dedicated to this issue:

You should read the article. The stuff about installing the plugin for Non-Firefox Mozilla-based products (ie. SeaMonkey, Minefield) is pertinent to Kylo.

Short story:
You’re going to need to install a special “Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin” that the Technet division of Microsoft put together. You’ll then have to copy the np-mswmp.dll from its install location (either the \plugins directory under your Firefox install, or C:\PFiles\Plugins if the installer couldn’t find a valid install of Firefox) and paste it into a new folder called “plugins” that you’ll create under the Kylo install folder (Probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Hillcrest Labs\Kylo).

Yes… it would be awesome if Kylo did this for you. Why hasn’t it been done already? Mostly because it’s muddy waters distributing Microsoft software, even if it’s a freebie. A better solution is on the big list of things to do…

Post back if you run into issues…

i ran that video with the WMP plug in taken from FIREFOX and installed in kylo .
im running KYLO 1.0.1.76141

it is running internally inside the page as per normal ...

With Kylo v1.1.1, I’ve started bundling the Windows Media Player plugin in the installer. This should mean that sites like this will work out of the gate.

thank you KIT for your work here..
