Fixed in revision 3262 Log: This fixes http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2846, which is an issue with bloomberg.com not detecting the windows media player plugin. The site reads the list of plugins off the Navigator object and runs through the list of plugins comparing each with the desired plugin name (Windows Media). This fails in Chrome as the Activex shim is registered by default as the handler for media player, with the name as activex-shim. The fix is to split up the Activex shim registration into two, one handling the application/x-oleobject|application/oleobject mime types, and the other handling the windows media player types.

Hello; I'm a user of Chrome and have this issue on my new Windows 7, WMP 11 pc. This issue doesn't appear on my Windows XP, WMP 11. Could this issue have been reintroduced with Windows 7? Thanks. |
