WMV Playlist. Does it Work? On Mac OS X?

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to make a WMV video file embed as a playlist into a page.

I have been searching through forums to find an answer. I have tried the following code, however it failed:

Code:

</object>
</div>
</html>

Could it be a Mac OS X thing? I have windows media player installed, so I dont see why it would be a problem...... Could someone try out this code on a PC for us?

Thanks.
