Opera and embedded movies

[albusperciva]

I open my web page in IE and Firefox. Both display my movie, but when I open it in Opera, the movie doesn't even show on the page. Can anyone help with this issue? Thank you!

Here is the code used for the embedded movie:

<object type="video/x-ms-wmv" data="runescape_collab.wmv" style="width:625px; height:550px;"><param name="src" value="runescape_collab.wmv" /><param name="autoStart" value="0" />
</object>

What version of Opera? What OS? Have you tried the latest version? Do you have a movie plugin for Opera?

Opera is version 9.23 and I'm using Windows Vista, but I've also tried it in Windows XP with the same results. I'll look into the movie plugin, but I thought it would ask you to download the plugin automatically when I opened the page. Is that not correct? Thank you for your help thus far! I will get back to you on the plugin download.

I added the plugin that I used for Firefox into Opera\programs\plugins and it still didn't show. The plugin is called np-mswmp.dll. Is this the wrong plugin? I went into Advanced -> Plugins on Opera and it also lists video/x-ms-wmv. Is that the right one? Thanks!

The plugin np-mswmp.dll seems to be working for Opera now. Thank you for pointing me to the plugins for Opera. That allowed me to find the solution.
