1. How do I make Windows Media Player the default player for a file type?
To make the Player the default player for a file type, do the following:
Player version Steps
Open Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player for Windows XP or later
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the File Types tab, and then select the check box of the file types you want to play in Windows Media Player.
Windows Media Player 7
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Format tab, and then select the check box of the file types you want to play in Windows Media Player.
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to change the list.
If your version of the Windows operating system supports the AutoPlay feature, your AutoPlay settings may affect your Windows Media Player file types settings. For more information about AutoPlay, see Windows Help.
If you install other players on your computer, they may interfere with your Windows Media Player file types settings. For more information about setting file type ownership in other players, see the documentation that came with those programs.

Picture Quality
Picture is static, distorted, discolored, or erratic may result from Internet congestion, either because your computer is slow, your modem is slow, your Internet Service Provider is slow or bogged down, the Internet is congested throughout, or FirstWP TV site is congested (such as very popular event).
Solutions:
(1) Upgrade your computer/modem/ISP if necessary.
(2) Try again later
If you are unable to view the streaming video program in the player window, Click file on the player. This will take you to a selection menu that will allow you to view the files with the player program.
Note: If you cannot see anything you must copy this link (http://stream.netro.ca/.fwpchurch). Next go to File>OpenFile> and paste the link you copied into the "Universal Resource Locator (URL)" box and click "OK" to view the programs.
Video stop and starts or buffers?
Most streaming media players buffer a small part of a streaming file before the program starts to play. Buffering can occur during the program when your available bandwidth does not match the streaming files required bandwidth. If this continues to happen you will need to select a slower connection speed or in Fwpchurch at the moment upgrade your internet service to a higher speed..
Note: Even though you may have a high speed connection (i.e. DSL) buffering still can occur during peak times when a lot of users are connected at the same time.
