I seem to have a problem with finding the current position in a embedded video stream with the combination
Windows Media Player and Netscape 7.01

Since when working with Netscape, I need to use the plugin and not the active X control, my documentation says that i need to use the function [videoobject].GetCurrentPosition() for that.
However, this gives me error messages saying that the [videoobject].GetCurrentPosition() is not a function.

Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player works fine, when i use the ActiveX control and the function [videoobject].CurrentPosition

Is GetCurrentPosition not longer usuable under the latest versions of Netscape for Windows Media Player? Do I need to use a different function for that?

Thanks,

Netscape abandoned the LiveConnect methods that NS 4 used to talk to plug-ins in NS 6 and NS 7. In fact, there is no connection available in NS 6, and there is a whole new API in NS 7. If you are trying to use the WMP plug-in version 6.4, it only works in NS 4 versions.

Thanks, AOL/Micro$oft/W3C/IEEE.

There is no public standard for controlling multimedia in a web page.

That kinda puts an end to my efforts. Thanks for the information.
