    Windows Media Player the application fails to play a specific video - an mp4 with h264 High 4:2:2 profile. And then hangs the app when trying to close window itself is closed, but app can be seen in task manager.In WPF, I can repro something similar by using MediaPlayer under a VideoDrawing element. Opening/playing a good file e.g. mp4 with standard h264 profile will play as expected in the view. Opening/playing the bad file doesn’t work. All further attempts to play/open other files fail now as well.When in this state, a solid repro of the actual hang is to call GC.Collect when the m

    New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
