Media Player Web Part - Failed to Load

Question

1. Added a media webpart
2. I uploaded a mp3 and wav to a sharepoint library
3. I can play media
4. However, if I change the media source to "From Address" with the same mp3 and wav (sitting on a file share but accessed through http) then I get "Media Failed to load".

I can go to any browser and type http://myMediaServer:5555/CrewHealth.mp3 and it resolves right away. Directory browsing is enabled when i go to http://myMediaServer:5555 I can all the media files. Anonymous browsing is enabled. Everyone in the company has read access.

Answer 1

This does it. Forget all the mambo jambo with silverlight webpart. Can anyone suggest how to enable pause button (play, stop, forward, rewind are all present except pause).
