Open a URL in Windows Media Player

Is there a chance to open a url directly from youtube in windows media player?

Let's go into the details.

I have the old Matrox rt.x100 video card (full screen on an external monitor only with windows media player + live show video plugin), so if I want to open a livestream of youtube video and play on external monitor through the Matrox card I need wmp.

Beacause it, is there any chance and the possibility of open url directly in Windows Media Player?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

I don't disagree that VLC can, but it's obviously research any HTML content on the page, to jump beyond all the toolbars, comments, announcements, links and... then find the video, determine the FLV or a video that is wrapped in the HTML5 or Flash wrapper, then play the open content.

This will never come to WMP.

    On mine, "Open URL" is in the file menu.

    If you don't see the file menu, then:

    and tick "Show menu bar". Then you should see the menu of old style etc.

    Click on and the options are , etc.

    You can also if you don't want older menus showing:

  • 21 of Firefox opens not mp3s in Windows Media Player

    I put the option program of file type for the two 'windows media player' and 'request' and Firefox always opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab MP3s played in the popup from Windows Media Player (after download) fine in the latest version of Firefox 20.X. I tried to disable the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to prevent them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the plugin (QuickTime).

    MIME MP3 settings in Quicktime format have been unchecked and the settings of Windows extension all are defined on Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

    Hello sewing1243, 21 firefox now uses the codecs that are included in your operating system that allow him to directly read mp3 and mpeg (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named media.windows - media - foundation.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to false.

    Another way to download files without tweaking the above-mentioned preference would be to click right on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

    Hello

    You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
    in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

    Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

    Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
    with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

    I am running Windows Xp Pack3 of SVC. "When I try to open attachments downloaded widow Windows Media Player pops up informing me:" the selected file has an extension (.pps) or (asx) or (pdf) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the player may still be able to play. "Because the extension is unknown to the player, you should be sure that the file is from a trustworthy source.
