I am trying to watch the Old Faithful Area Live-Streaming Video
WebCam that can be accessed from this web page:
http://www.nps.gov/yell/photosmultimedia/yellowstonelive.htm
It seems that I am missing a Windows Media Player plug-in that
would allow me to receive this video picture. Here is what is happening-
--I launch the Old Faithful Geyser Live-Video WebCam from the top of the
web page identified above.
--I then see a new window with http://www.nps.gov-NPS Streaming Video -
Seamonkey at the top followed by a second line containing nps.gov. No
streaming video is present.
I next visited the Frequently Asked Questions page (also accessed
from the above referenced web page) hoping to find the answer to my
problem. There I found the following:
Q. I used to be able to watch the webcam when it was first offered, but
now all I get is a blank, pop-up window. What's wrong?
A. This problem has been reported by people who prefer to use Firefox. A
Windows Media Player plug-in for Firefox is available for several
versions of the Windows operating system. You can find the free, 302K
download at Port25.technet.com.
Well, I now know that there is a Windows Media Player plug-in that
is required in order to make Firefox work. I, however, do not know the
name of this plug-in after clicking the download site. The site is
located at:
http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx
I presume, based on what I read on the above web page, that the plug-in
only works with Firefox.
My next stop was to see what about:plugins would tell me if
anything. There I found "Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link
Library" with nine entries under MIME Type. Again, this does not tell
me much. I presume that I do have Windows Media Player on my system and
that it has nine plug-ins.
Well, that is where I am at this point. I would appreciate any
guidance anybody sends my way regarding this subject. By the way, my
system information is:
Windows XP SP-3
