Issue Description: For as long as I can remember I've been unable to play videos using the DivX Web Player. The video appears and connects however it prompts "Buffering: 0%" without ever streaming anything. I've tried to resolve the issue by uninstalling Firefox, Shark007's Codec Pack, DivX Web Player, and Firefox Addons and having them re-installed with no luck. These videos do not work in Chrome either however they do work in Internet Explorer. DivX Avi formats do play on my desktop using Windows Media Player and the DivX Plus Player.

DiVX Web Player 1.4.2.7 is working - It's unfortunate I had to downgrade to get it to work but it's better than nothing. I'd still like to get the newer version to work if at possible so if any of you have any suggestions let me know.

DivX Plus Web Player - Version 2.0.2.40 worked after updating from the previous version. Have no clue why but it worked.

Hi everyone,

Since it is currently not possible to play divx content using the newest version of the divx web player, I've been using the VLC media player browser plugin. The VLC browser plugin allows you to play divx content on the web; however, it does not load in the same manner as a traditional divx web player. To use it, you need to double click the video and move it into full screen.
