I have VLC plugin and WMP plugin on latest firefox on windows 7. Then, a mms:// stream appears. I want to WMP play that, but it happens only when VLC is fully disabled. But then the rtsp:// doesn't play.

How do disable only mms:// to play in vlc plugin? it stands also behind "application/x-mplayer2 (Windows Media)" name. Firefox settings (Settings>Applications> x-mplayer2) seems not to work for this, i set it for WMP and it still plays in vlc.

Yes, I also see this problem. I assume that the cause is, that Firefox uses the mime type declaration of the latest loaded plugin (alphabetical order). But I'm really not sure if this is true, other causes are also possible.

The Firefox settings (Settings->Applications) are only for media which is directly loaded per URL.

If you have a website which should always use WMP, you could use the following workaround:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<embed type="');

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Trident") != -1)
	//Internet Explorer
	document.write('application/x-mplayer2');
else
	//Firefox (Only the firefox plugin knows this mime type, not VLC)
	document.write('application/x-ms-wmp');

document.write('" width="500" height="400" />');
</script>

Thanks for your reply and help, but it isn't about my website. Maybe I should ask on firefox forum first - it looks like browser fault, not vlc. I got help from firefox fan - a greasemonkey script which is doing what I want

If you don't control the server-side, I doubt there is a way to change Firefox's logic. You might need to edit the VLC plugin and recompile it.
