Windows Media 11 streaming problem

I run a company that offers streaming videos for my subscribed customers. I am switching over from Real Player to Windows Media and have had a problem streaming my videos since upgrading to Windows Media 11

I finally found a embedded code to have the WMV files play correctly in Explorer and Firefox...but some of my videos would not even load and I couldn't figure out why.

I would click on the video and it would saying it was searching for media for two seconds...an image would flash in the player and then it would say ready. and nothing else happened....then I would right click on the player and it would say error and "can not play the file at this time"

but another video on my site encoded and uploaded in exactly the same way WILL play. It made no sense at all...

I attempted to try and encode it again thinking that my problem was there and STILL the same.

so ultimately I rolled back to Windows Media 10 and now all of the videos play....on MY COMPUTER...

however my ultimate problem lies in what do I tell my customers to do? Is there something else I could embed into my webpage to get this Windows 11 problem fixed and recommend all of my customers to install the latest version of windows media OR

Do I let them know to forget about windows media 11 and stick with 10...which is a pain in the ass because I have international customers and there is a language barrier...it is easier to send to "latest version" of player is recommended??

I know it says 11 is just a beta version and that may be the reason for the kinks but I would like to know if it is MY CODE or their kinks that is the problem?

THE CODE THAT I HAVE EMBEDDED INTO MY WEB PAGE IS AS FOLLOWS
