ok, so i uploaded a video to my account, and i embedded it on the index, but it wont play when i click play.

Heres the code im using:

<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=286 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components…" type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">

<param name="filename" value="/videos/SCM%20Final.wmv">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="false">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="/videos/SCM%20Final.wmv" name="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240></embed>

</object>

Heres my url so you can see: http://hotwire.exofire.net/

Well I checked the site, and when I pressed play it didn't load as you mentioned. I checked the error details, and it said it cannot connect so either the host is stopping it, or your file name is wrong. Well that's what I gathered from it.

I believe the embed tag is deprecated:

It works for me:

The video in the first link was playing, screen shots just don't show it. What browser are you checking on? It could be a cross-browser compatibility thing (the shot is from firefox).

I'm using ff and wmp 11, or rather the wmp plugin for ff, and it is working fine. are you sure you have the wmp plugin for ff?

You're right, my media player is whatever came with SP2. I don't use it, so I didn't update it. I'm glad you solved it though.
