Firefox and Streaming Windows Media Content

[mrochester]

I have Firefox V2. I also have Windows Media Player 11. On the BBC News website, I've been trying to watch some of their videos. Each one asks me to 'Click here to download plugin'. I do so, and it says 'No suitable plugins were found. Unknown plugin (application/x-mplayer 2)'.

My partner has the same setup, and the videos work fine for him on the BBC website. What's wrong with my setup?

TIA,

Michael.
