Well i downloaded a addon called TV-FOX from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11200
But when I start a station or what ever it does not load. But if i disable noscript it works.
I am guesing no script blocks the media player but there is not option to allow or disallow the site/script

I note that the system requirements include that you must have the "Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in", not just the Windows Media Player that comes with Windows. Do you have this plug-in? If not, I suspect that is the issue.

You can get it here:

Investigating, will let you know ASAP.

Untick NoScript Options > Plugins > Forbid other plugins was a successful workaround when this came up last month.

Manually adding tv-fox.com and tv-toolbar.com to your NoScript Options|Whitelist should work, unless you've got NoScript Options|Plugins|Apply these restrictions to trusted sites as well ticked.
I'm working on a specific exception for next release and trying to figure out a more general solution to handle similar cases in future.

Does that work with FF3?
In about:plugins, does it show you have loaded npdsplay.dll or NP-MSWMP.dll (or both even)?

npdsplay.dll is the default plugin that is found in \Program Files\Windows Media Player.
NP-MSWMP.dll (or some spelling thereof) is what would be added by the "port25" plugin.

(If both are listed, I believe the one listed first would take precedence.)

I think that's the one I downloaded a couple of years ago. About:plugins shows D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\np-mswmp.dll and it has a date of 10 April 2007. It still works just fine in Fx 3.0. I used the addons manager to disable D:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\npdsplay.dll a long time ago with no ill effect. It doesn't show up in about:plugins at all.

Thanks.

therube, as Alan has kindly already replied, yes it works with Fx 3.x, I have been using it on recommendation from Giorgio a while back and have not seen any issues.
