SUMMARY
URL commands that use relative paths that point to parent folders are no longer permitted under Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series.



MORE INFORMATION
The following path is no longer permitted under Windows Media Player 9 Series: ..\videos\myvideo.wmv However, the following path is permitted: .\videos\myvideo.wmv Because you may experience security issues if the player calls to a parent folder (..\), this behavior has been specifically blocked. Content that is called by using a relative URL must be located in a folder that is at or below the level of the current folder. You might also have to move a content folder so that it is at a lower level than the folder that it is called from.
