Hard to tell, especially as that entire server doesn't seem to exist.
The server works fine here. The reason it doesn't work in Opera (and any
other browser other than IE) is that there is no embed tag, just an
object one:
That's not an accurate explanation: Opera and Mozilla both support object
pefectly well (it is a standard, whereas embed is non-standard 1990's
legacy stuff. What they are not supporting is that the object is being
prescriptive (using classid to specify that the browser must use a certain
activeX object) rather than descriptive (using the data attribute to
specify a meaningful MIME type and allowing the browser+OS determine how
to play it). The result is something that will work only on windows using
IE which has not been made safe for use on the internet.
Even IE understands object using MIME type, (for Flash content this became
known as the satay method) although to achieve streaming the content must
have a preloader which calls the main content.
