HTML - Can You Suggest A Video Media Player

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..

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

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.

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.

Can i use javascript to control the file that playing by the real audio plug in, i mean i embeded the plug in, and i want to dynamically assign the files by using the drop down listbox. I had tried it , but although i successfully set the filename, but cant control the start value.

Another question is whether window media play can play real audion file or not ??

Thanks for answering.

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 =)

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.

Hello,

I am updating an old website with no media player. They had one but it became damaged. $25,000 right down the tube, (not my money!).

Anyway, if you look at the page I’m talking about... http://rockwindow.com/video_pages/viedo_01.htm

you will understand what I'm talking about. I used an image of the old player.

I was wondering if I was to use <map> attribute around the control buttons what the code would be for a link to do: play, pause & stop.

If you right click the video, those options are in the menu. How do I link to a code for a control like that. Any help, I will appreciate very very much. Thank you!

Hey guys... I'm new and have looked everywhere. I can get an embedded WMV/AVI/etc. to work on my website and I can even position the file to where I want using my screen's resolution 1440X900, but when I view this website in a 1024X768 resolution, the embedded media file is not where it's supposed to be.

Can anyone please please help me figure out how to embed a windows media file and keep the same position on the webpage for all resolutions (800X600 and up)...

I have created the webpage with Adobe Imageready, and then edited the HTML accordingly to embed the media player.

Please help....

Thanks....

I would like to mount a nice looking video player to play videos on my multimedia page that is not Youtube Vimeo ect.. I am going to mount the player within an inline frame that is 600x375 and Ideally I would like it to fit that inline frame like a glove. What are some options for video players out there?

Hi guys!

I`ve got a video on my web page, that i really wanna share on FB.
But when I share it, it just comes up a lot of weird letters in the FB post, and dont a little movie player, surge as with a youtube video.

And i guess all this have to do with embedding?

Under, you can see how the html looks like atm. In it would be very helpful if you guys could help me to write it, so the movie shows up in my FB post, and you be played directly on Facebook.
