Default Player Woes....

[Broadscape]

<br> Hey, I work for a software company that is pressed for time right now trying to get a product out the door and there’s something we’re trying to get around.&nbsp;&nbsp;We’re creating a web based media player written in JavaScript that allows a user to surf around the web while viewing media files…problem is, we can’t figure out in the short amount of time left how to make our embedded version of the Windows Media Player the default player for a user’s system.&nbsp;&nbsp;We know there has to be a way to do it in C++ and then converted to JavaScript…but we don’t have the time to figure out how to do it from scratch ourselves.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please help, any information on making an embedded media player on a frame the default player would be helpful at this point.&nbsp;&nbsp;We just need to make it so that when a user clicks on a media file, it opens up in our windows media box.<br><br>Thanks again!<br><br>-Stephen<br><br>Stephen Baudier<br>Web R&D <br>BroadScape.com, Inc<br><A HREF="

Dear Stephen,<br><br>Due to the Browser Security model you would need some form of trusted solution to alter the client computers configuration for the default media player.<br><br>I don't even know what all of them are but I am refering to things like ActiveX controls, which have access to the client system resources.<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete
