IE 7 playing streaming Audio

I posted this issue, 04 Jan 2009, in the IE forum, but there have been no
replies, so I am posting here. I apologize if I have erred in my decision.

Months to years ago, IE would inform me that a streaming audio [ & perhaps
video ] file could be played within IE.

Is is possible to configure IE 7, on Vista SP1 to do this? If so, how? I
looked through IE 7's internet options > advanced tab.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never used IE 7 on a Vista PC to play a
streaming audio or video file.

Thanks for your time.

Do you mean directly within the old Media Bar? That feature was removed
several versions ago. Now your options would be standalone or
embedded-using-some-player playback.

Please give me an example of an embedded player.

Thanks for the information.

I don't know what you're trying to do and am under lots of time-constraints.
So here's an ugly embedded player page:
http://zachd.com/pss/samples_HTML/allbrowser.htm

You should use Paint to draw a picture of what you're trying to do and then
upload that to flickr or something like that so we can understand you.

I'm pretty certain so far that you're referring to Media Bar functionality
that was removed several versions ago.

z_d:
Yes, you are correct about the media bar. I apologize for not making it
clear in my previous post.

I copied your link into IE 6 SP1 & FF 3.0.0.5 [ on a Win 2000 Pro SP4 PC].
The page displayed, but when I clicked on the link beneath the player screen,
I was taken to http://server/file.asx, with a notice, in IE, of "The page
cannot be displayed".

I mention the above ONLY as FYI. I am very grateful for the information you
provided.

Thank you, also, very much for the WMP FAQ!

Yeah, it's just a very old sample page that used invalid URLs so people
could replace them with their own URLs. I was just using it as a point for
visual comparison. =)

Thanks. Happy MLK Jr Day. =)

z_d:
Now that we have established that I was thinking about the Media Bar which
is now obsolete, and that the link you provided is an example, please provide
me with examples of "Now your options would be standalone or
embedded-using-some-player playback."
For a "standalone", do you refer to players such as WMP, WinAmp, RealPlayer?


And for "embedded-using-some-player playback."?

Standalone is any player running by itself in parallel with the browser.
So: different application windows would be visible onscreen.

Embedded playback would be exactly like that page on my site.

At this point I think I've helped identify the source of your confusion.
Since you're on Windows 2000, your questions aren't really relevant to this
Windows Vista newsgroup, and they're not really anything requiring any level
of technical expertise that I might luckily/hopefully have, so I will salute
you on this fine day and hope you enjoy browsing in a little less confusion.
If you have further questions, I'm sure others could provide excellent
answers. =)

Cheers,
-Zach

z:
I have multiple computers and the Win 2000 Pro PC was the one I was using
when trying your suggestions.

The issue is STILL on a Vista PC & IE 7.

I hope you will re-consider providing the information about imbedded media
players.

You cannot readily force the stream to play counter to how the site you are
visiting is trying to play it.

I'm not sure what the question is here. The Media Bar was removed a long
while ago. If the site provider wants to embed the playback within their
web page, they can do so. You cannot force it to be embedded into their web
page, sorry.
