WMV videos are not playing

Same here. Won′t play WMV on any browser tested, including IE9.

Here is the shortcode used in the wordpress post:

[mejsvideo src="https://www.mysite.com/videos/filename.wmv" width="640" height="360"]

Here is the generated html (firefox browser):

<div class="mejs-mediaelement">

<div style="width: 640px; height: 360px;" class="me-cannotplay"><a href="https://www.mysite.com/videos/filename.wmv"><span>Download File</span></a></div>

<video style="display: none;" id="wp_mep_1" src="https://www.mysite.com/videos/filename.wmv" preload="none" height="360" width="640">		

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/media-element-html5-video-and-audio-player/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf" height="360" width="640">

<param name="movie" value="https://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/media-element-html5-video-and-audio-player/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf">

<param name="flashvars" value="controls=true&file=https://www.mysite.com/videos/filename.wmv">			

</object>
</video>
</div>

<div class="mejs-layers"></div><div style="display: none;" class="mejs-controls"></div><div class="mejs-clear"></div>

According to the https://mediaelementjs.com/ site, WMV is a supported file type. I have yet to find a functional example of someone using WMV with Media Element JS. Has anyone verified that FLV’s work?

Same problem with WMA audio file in this post https://shastacosta.com/dwight/wp36-wma/
which shows black box without player. This post https://shastacosta.com/dwight/wp36-mp3/ works great with mp3. This post uses <audio ..> tag, where WMA post uses [mejsaudio ..] shortcode. Shortcode was a second attempt after <audio ..> tag gave unwanted result, which was a “download file” function instead of a player. Does this suggest some missing MIME coding? Am I supposed to take care of that? If so, please tell me how.

Sliverlight update on Mac/OS corrected my problem for desktop browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera). IOS devices (iPhone &iPad) still show same problem. That’s with IOS6, BTW.

it works for me, but only after adding “type=”video/wmv” to the shortcode.
