Chrome and .wmv files

I’m asking for help from any Chrome users please. Using Chrome I’m unable to get the .wmv file to play on this individual article page:
http://www.charlottes-saddlery.com/txp/articles/22/gracie-and-the-cement-pond
yet it plays just fine on my home page. Am I the only one seeing this? BTW, there are no issues on either page with IE. Thank you very much!

You should be using flash video (flv) and a some well made player. Usign Windows media files directly on webpage is not recommended, and the compatibility really isn’t the best.

Re: Chrome and .wmv files

I’m not sure if it could be some sort of conflict with a plug in. I removed the rss_thumbpop code to see if that was affecting it but that didn’t change anything. I’ve gone with the .wmv format because of the cross browser compatibility. Maybe bring it in under another form..
