Hello,
I have a link to the online radio:
http://www.(....)/program1M.asx which used to start VLC player.
I prefer to use Windows Media Player so I changed the file association
(.asx) from VLC to WMP.
But now when I click on that link IE displays: "IE cannot display that
page).
If I put that link directly into WMP there is not a problem.
My question is:
What to create (or set up) to have that link starting WMP?
Thanks,
Claire

I am not developing anything.
I need a help how to set up IE (or Windows) for that link to start WMP.
It must be something very simple.
If VLC can be started by that link why not WMP?
Claire
 
No, it is not my website.
It is the IE shortcut on my desktop.
You do not know the answer?
I think it is something simple related how IE and Windows are set up.
Claire
 
You do know the answer!
it is VLC player running in the back ground ...
VLC player believe he is a good helper for Windows Media Player ..
you like his help do you .. for VLC player say he your Favorites Media
Player
and he will changed the file association for you and you have no say because
he your Favorites Media Player
He believe that you need know one but him!

One way to Stop him.. But will you!

U N S T A L L
HIM and the ERRORs will go away!
 
Believe me PA Bear you are 99.98% right at time ...
Do you have VLC player running on your Computer?
For it VLC player believe it is Microsoft Windows Media Center and will
cause Error in all the Windows Media players and Editors!
Test it out PA Bear and come 99.99% right at times one more time not for me
but for Microsoft!
 
That is not good solution for me.
I want to have both: WMP and VLC.
I want WMP to use for radio only (WMP is good, because it does not stop dead
as VLC when stream is interrupted)
and use VLC to play videos.
Claire
 
You want to have both: WMP and VLC.
VLC Only one that runs WMP for you!
You have no say! Because VLC play the WMP for you!
Not you playing the WMP...

So now you have stream ERRORS in WMP cause by VLC in your online radio....

See you LOVE VLC so love the ERRORS that come with it too!
For one here can help you out, but you yourself !
