Microsoft Releases Update for Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player 9 This week, Microsoft released an update for all versions of Windows Media Player that would it more easy to manage the behavior of URL script commands.

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design.
