Detect Media Player

[Newsgroup_User]

It has come to my attention that the method to stream video to Window Media
Player 11 is completely different than to v10. Our site has a few videos and
we are being notified that there are problems between the 2 versions of WMP.

Is there a way that CF can detect the version of media player on a computer?

Unless the media player registers itself with the browser (like flash player does), you may be looking at an ActiveX component in order to gain access to that sort of information.

However, if it is like Flash player, you should be able to detect it in a similar manner. I found a javascript flash detection script here:
