HTML - Real Audio And Window Media Player!!

Hello, I have embedded Windows Media Player on this one page I have that streams a live weather radio feed I have here in my Office. In FF it works fine but the player does not work in IE.

Here is the URL

http://www.mesquitechristmas.com/wea...stmas&state=tx

Here is the code for the player that I have embedded.


HTML Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  embedFeed("","http://audiostream.wunderground.com/MesquiteChristmas/DFW.mp3.m3u"); </script>

<div align="center"><object height="40" width="200"><param name="type" value="application/x-mplayer2"><param name="src" value="http://audiostream.wunderground.com/MesquiteChristmas/DFW.mp3.m3u"><param name="autostart" value="1"><param name="showcontrols" value="1"><param name="showstatusbar" value="1"><embed src="http://audiostream.wunderground.com/MesquiteChristmas/DFW.mp3.m3u" type="application/x-mplayer2" autoplay="true" autostart="1" controller="1" showstatusbar="true" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="69" width="280"></object></div><noscript><br>Your browser does not have javascript enabled and can not use the embedded player.<br>You will need to <a href="http://audiostream.wunderground.com/MesquiteChristmas/DFW.mp3.m3u">click here</a> to listen to this stream using your default audio player.<br></noscript>

Here is the Js script for it.

HTML Code:

// Batmosphere Embedded Media Player, version 2006-05-31 
// Written by David Battino, www.batmosphere.com
// OK to use if this notice is included
// This function reads an MP3 URL and title from the referring page and generates embedding code to play back the audio file.
// Windows browsers (except for Internet Explorer) will play back the file with the Windows Media Player *plugin.* Internet Explorer will use Windows Media Player.
// Non-Windows browsers will play back the file with their standard audio handler for the MIME type audio/mpeg. On Macs, that handler will usually be QuickTime.

var audioFolder = ""; // If you have a default audio directory, e.g., http://www.your-media-hosting-site.com/sounds/, you can put it here to make links on the referring page shorter.

function embedFeed(MP3title,MP3URL) { 
   // Get Operating System 
   var isWin = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") != -1;
   if (isWin) { // Use MIME type application/x-mplayer2
      visitorOS="Windows";
   } else { // Use MIME type audio/mpeg, audio/x-wav, etc.
      visitorOS="Other";
   }

   var audioURL = audioFolder + MP3URL;
   var objTypeTag = "application/x-mplayer2"; // The MIME type to load the WMP plugin in non-IE browsers on Windows
   if (visitorOS != "Windows") { objTypeTag = "audio/mpeg"}; // The MIME type for Macs and Linux 
  
   document.write('<div>');
   document.write('<strong style="font-size:18px; position:relative; top:-28px">' + MP3title + '&nbsp;</strong>');  // Adjust font style to taste
   document.write('<object width="280" height="69">'); // Width is the WMP minimum. Height = 45 (WMP controls) + 24 (WMP status bar)
   document.write('<param name="type" value="' + objTypeTag + '">');
   document.write('<param name="src" value="' + audioURL + '">');
   document.write('<param name="autostart" value="1">');
   document.write('<param name="showcontrols" value="1">');
   document.write('<param name="showstatusbar" value="1">');
   document.write('<embed src ="' + audioURL + '" type="' + objTypeTag + '" autoplay="true" autostart="1" width="280" height="69" controller="1" showstatusbar="true" bgcolor="#000000"></embed>'); 
   
   // Firefox and Opera Win require both autostart and autoplay
   document.write('</object>');
   document.write('</div>');
   document.close(); // Finalizes the document
}

Any idea what might be causing this?

-Thanks

Hi
I tried embedding windows media player normally, to play videos on my site. It works on this computer (after i downloaded the rite codecs), but it doesent work on my other pc, nor mac.

Is there anything you guys know that i can get (maybe some sort of php thing, or some other code) to use windows media player, or something so that when i embedd it to the site, it works with no problmes. I tried some flash things, but there all so confusing, and im not good at flash, so i get lost in it. Thanks..

I would like to incorparate a media player into my website. I want it to be a separate popup window and show the list of mp3's available for people to listen to. I looked around but couldn't find anything that great and couldn't figure out how to put it in. Any suggestions?

I have embedded the media player on the website using this code:

Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
data="test.swf" width="345" height="90"> 
<param name="movie" value="../flash/test.swf"> 
</object>

and it works fine except it doesn't seem to be able to load the sound. I have the sound in the same folder as the flash file and the sound runs fine when I test the .swf but not when I embed it into the website.

Does anyone know how to position the <audio> player so it's stacked on top of a background image? If I make the player visible with <audio controls="controls">. I tried to treat it as an image by:

Code:

<style> <!-- this is the background image -->
#container {
	display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
	position: relative;
	border:none;
	width: 380px;
	height: 633px;
	background-image: url("pictures/kohakuriver1.png");
	background-position:center;

<!-- this is the audio player -->
#container audioplayer {
	position: absolute;
	border:none;
	left: 65px;
	width: 245px;
	height: 53px;

#audio {top: 700px}

</style>

...
...

<body>

...

<div id="container">
	<audio controls="controls">
  		<source src="music/hupochuanClip.mp3" id="audio" type="audio/mpeg"/>
  		<source src="music/hupochuanClip.ogg" id="audio" type="audio/ogg"/>
	</audio>
</div>

</body>

It didn't work completely, it did move it to some odd place but not where I want it. Changing the height value won't have any effect (I tried changing it to like 7000px and it's still in the same place).

Can you suggest a video media player that supports rtmp protocol and has no branding? Maybe an open source general license? Simply to play flv files on a web page. Thanks.
(not JWPlayer or Flowplayer)

I have embedded Windows media Player in an HTML Form. My question is does the .wmv has to reside on the server in order for it to run? If this is true does the server have to have IIS installed in order for windows media player thats embedded in an HTML form play wav or wmv files.

I'm not sure where the best place to post this question is, so I thought I'd start here and see what I get.

I want to set up a video player like it is on this site:

http://blueroomnyc.com/work/Q3hLj98J...story-refresh/


There are 3 links to different videos on the page, but they all open in the same place when activated. How is this accomplished? Is it javascript? I'd like to be able to do the same thing with an audio plugin as well. Thanks.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is possible and if so how:


I want to create a web page that will play a random audio file from a folder on my server. I'd like the user to hear the audio file and then try and identify it and be told whether they are correct or not and what the correct answer is.

Can this be done with html or do I need to use flash?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hey all,

I've built a website for my music and I'm fairly new to all this so bear with me.

Essentially, I have two flash-based music players on my site. One is a simple single-track player that auto-plays some background music for the site. The functionality is limited to the user starting/stopping the music and adjusting the volume. The other is an advanced music player featuring a playlist of preselected tracks and allows the user to start/stop music, rewind, fast forward, adjust volume and select tracks in the playlist. This player does not start automatically.

My question is this: when someone visits the site, the single-track background music player will start. Is there code that would allow the advanced music player, should it be turned on (i.e. someone selects a track and plays it), to override and actually stop the play of the single-track?

TIA!

Hi all =)

I'm using the following code:
Code:

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" 
name="mediaplayer1" 
showstatusbar="1" 
EnableContextMenu="false" 
autostart="true" 
width="230" 
height="240" 
transparentstart="1" 
loop="0" 
controller="true" 
src="http://www.bartend.com/ecourse/videos/bartendcom-margarita.wmv">
</embed>

It makes people download WMP 11 to view the file. I want to be able to let it run in WMP 9 or 10. How can I fix this?

Thank you =)

Light and Love and Healing to you,

Hey everyone,

I have an embedded Windows Media Player 11 on my site and I have it set to buffer before playing the videos. So I have two questions:

1. How can I make the buffering percentage visible in WMP
2. Is it possible to take the buffering percentage and have a custom progress bar go through HTML or javascript or something?
3. If #2 isn't possible, could I put a message up that disappears once the movie autostarts?

Thanks!

i am using megaupload for the first time, and so far i am totally confused in how im supposed to use it. that is beside the point, however.

When i embed the player, my song does not play as it is supposed to. it does nto play at all, even when i tell it to play manually (even though it is set to autoplay). here is the code i embed into my site:

~~~

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www.megaupload.com/03-30_seconds_to_mars-the_kill-h8me.mp3">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="true">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://www.megaupload.com/03-30_seconds_to_mars-the_kill-h8me.mp3" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="1" ShowDisplay="1" autostart="1"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>

~~~

i believe the problem is the link to the file. did i write the link correctly? how do i find the direct link to the file? can megaupload be used for this? i am having problems using megaupload, and so i think my problem is more about finding the correct link for my file and not so much a problem with the html itself, as i think i did all that correctly except for the 2 places the link to my file should be.

if no one knows how to use megaupload, someone please tell me a good site to use to upload music files.
