Subject header says it all

Delete all the codecs, so every time you play a new file it has to connect to the internet in order to find out what to do?

Why would you like to make WMP from Mplayer? WMP is one of the worst shit i've ever seen.

In the MPlayer/conf/config file you can put this string:
user-agent=NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856
I'm not sure if "NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856" is windows media player but give it a try.

From the "eample.conf" file In the Mplayer download package!

# MPlayer configuration file
#
# Configuration files are read system-wide from /usr/local/etc/mplayer.conf
# and per user from ~/.mplayer/config, where per-user settings override
# system-wide settings, all of which are overrriden by the command line.
#
# The configuration file settings are the same as the command line
# options without the preceding '-'.
#
# See the CONFIGURATION FILES section in the man page
# for a detailed description of the syntax

.##################
# other settings #
##################

# Pretend to be Window Media Player.
# Fixes playback when playlist and media file use the same URL.
#user-agent=NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856


My dilema is that the site script checks the browser for a media player ..The site accepts for all other funtions,OWB, and a spoofed IE6. It hangs when looking for the media player? I wished to complete the spoof so that Mplayer will be seen as Window Media Player..If so the site will forwad the requst for a Video Replay at a MMS url..which MPLayer plays :)
1.Does get Video do this in some fashion?
I ask the above because the Menu has getVideo as a selection..an error returns wrong argument?
Can the arexx script be customized for this particular site?
2.Where does one change "user-agent=NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856 and how?

Why would you wanna do such a horrible thing? Don't get me wrong, but I'm just curious ;)
MPlayer is a perfect program with perfect GUI. WMP is a terrible disaster, simply one of M$ mistakes ;)

Understood "IT IS A SPOOF" It will appear that WMP is the player and allow the site script to allow the replayy to be accessed..
ie OWB cab be spoofed as a different browser...Safari, Firefox, Opera etal It placates the site that you are connected to..

Spoofing won't change one single bit of that.

@osco

If you have a link to such a site, that doesn't require a particular account (especially if it's not free :)), i could have a look and see what can be done. My guess is that I could write some "dummy" video owb plugin, acting as standard window media player plugin, and dumping the url, so that you can play it externally in mplayer.

The link: http://www.tampabaydowns.com/DailyReplays.aspx
Choose a highlighted day and the javascript asks for a race. Click race choice and the OWB returns "unsupported protocall.".
The mms address is visible in histor and when copied and pasted into MPlayer is played.
Would you try the link and see how it downloads?
Again Ty Fab

Ok. So it's a direct mms link,which OWB doesn't support (it's not its role, though it could be redispatched in some way, i'll see). But at least it's easy to paste it directly in mplayer.

So i played it in mplayer, and the source itself is rather low quality: 40kbps wmv file. No wonder it has low framerate.

There are other replay archive sites
Maybe their quality will improve.
TY as always
