Any news on this?
When a Windows user (IE7, Vista) clicks on the embedded PowerPress player for an .mp4 file, they are usually offered the QuickTime download to install the player (this can be large and slow, or denied due to administrator rights).
If they choose 'Don't install', the Windows Media Player is embedded instead by default. This tries to play (and should be able to) but eventually stops with no image. Right-click on the player and view 'Error Details' to
find that WMP encountered error message C00D11B1 (possibly caused by error message 80040418).
However, if I click the 'Download' link and then choose 'Open', the Windows Media Player pops up as a separate application window and plays the video perfectly. Is it possible to have a more graceful fallback, or better detection of installed software?
I have seen .mp4 recommended over .flv, but for a platform-independent user experience, I can only consider going with Flash.
Many thanks for your work,
John
