Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / August 2007Fox News Video Player still incompatible with Final Release of IE 7
I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine. Can anybody confirm this or offer helpful suggestions? If so, it would be appreciated. Thank you. Click on any video link on this page, for instance: http://www.foxnews.com/hannityandcolmes/index.html The yellow area remains blank in the resulting Video Player Window where the video should be appearing. Hmm...I thought it was just me! I was trying to watch Foxnews videos earlier today and had the same problem. I'll try to e-mail Foxnews.com and ask them to check into IE7 compatibility. It is (compatible with Fox video). That's one of the first things I tested with the 'new and not much improved' IE7. Works ok here. > Hmm...I thought it was just me!

Well, I get the following error as an example: Line: 132 Char: 3 Error: 'd_video_ad_intro' is undefined Code: 0 URL: http://www.foxnews.com//video2/player06.html?..........etc. > It is (compatible with Fox video).

I have WMP 10 Final Release installed. I would surprised to hear that having a Beta version of WMP is necessary for this. Thanks for the feedback, though. > It works fine for me.

Folks, what do we need to do top fix this? This is an issue with Adobe Flash Player 9 and I.E. 7. > I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some > Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine.

Update: It looks like this is an issue only with Fox.com. Flash 9 works fine on other sites... Very strange... > > I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some > > Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine.

I mean foxnews.com Sorry! :) Well, at least micrsoft got something right. lol George >I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some > Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine.

Have you got any other sites which have the same symptom in a similar scenario? This one is getting hung up trying to respond to ad.doubleclick.net for me. I'm not blocking it so there must be something wrong with that server. Oh. Apparently it doesn't want me to use FiddlerTool (or presumably any proxy server such as ProxOmitron). Further I can't get anywhere on that site unless I have scripting allowed. So, make sure that you are using the default security settings and not blocking any of its advertising. HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- Foxnews.com replied to my e-mail about the issues: "Thanks for writing. Since IE7 was in beta when we relaunched, we didn't support it. We've added the IE7 issues to our bugs list now, however, and will address them. FOXNews.com" Interesting. I have an XP machine running IE7 Beta 3 and it works fine on it, however my vista machine has the same issues... > Foxnews.com replied to my e-mail about the issues: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > FOXNews.com" >I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some >Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine.

Trevor, The problem is that the Fox News Video Player screen uses "*.doubleclick.net" and if the security on the IE7 Browser restricted this site, then you will not get the Player to work correctly. Check your Internet Explorer Properties under Tools>Internet Options> Security>Trusted Sites and make sure "*.doubleclick.net" is added as a trusted site. If you can't add it, then on the same Window, search "Restricted Sites" for "*.doubleclick.net" and remove the entry. Good Luck. Vern Thanks - the solution worked for me. I have been searching for months for this information and I am most grateful for the information. Regards >>I was hoping this would be resolved by now after being assured by some >>Microsoft MVP's that their internal build of IE7 was working fine.
