I'm looking for a script that will allow me to detect if a user has Windows Media Player installed, or Quicktime, or Flash, or Silverlight...

Ideally, this would be jQuery plugin, but any script will do.

Do you know of one you can recommend?

Try jqPlugin.

I tried that one first, but it detected WindowsMediaPlayer support on my Mac, so I don't think it's working correctly.

or maybe it's the Mac that's not working correctly? :)

Apple has written a script to do this. With it you can run functions like:

  • detectQuickTime()
  • detectFlash()
  • detectDirector()
  • detectWindowsMedia()
  • detectReal()

PluginDetect seems to work pretty good. You can generate a minified version of the script and only select the plugins you want to detect and functions you need.
