Linking to a m3u file, to open it in a media player Options

[29]

Hi,

On my webpage I have made a link to a .m3u playlist. However, when I click the link, my webbrowser opens the m3u file as a textdocument in my browser. With which code can I set the link so that it opens Windows Media Player (or perhaps the default media player)?

Thanks in advance!!

The server needs to send the correct MIME type for m3u playlists, which is audio/x-mpegurl

So, in a .htaccess in yoru document root, you need to add the line

AddType audio/x-mpegurl m3u

Thanks for your help! I'm a bit of a n00b tho, where exactly do i need to insert AddType audio/x-mpegurl m3u in the code of the page? I don't know what you mean with "root" Thanks!

EDIT

Thanks for your help! It won't work in my case tho, cuz I will not upload my webpage to a webserver.

I am making a DVD with several mediafiles and some textfiles ans I am using HTML to make the autroun menu. So htaccess won't help in this case.. Does anybody know if I have other options?
