JavaScript - Play Xml Video Playlist According To Time And Date? Please Help
Hello Everyone,
Recently started using JW Player and I am very pleased so far! Did anybody have a script for making a playlist [xml file]. I hope to add java code or script (or html if possible) to play the playlist according to a schedule (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) so that, when a user opens the website, the correct video and, ideally, the correct point within the video, opens up according to the day, hour, and minute that the page is opened. This will give the impression of a "live" or "real time" broadcast. If any body could solve my problem I am very grateful to them. Similar TutorialsHi there everyone I'm new here and to the world of coding in general. I have my own site now on it's third build. The second build was done by a someone else using ASP and database type things, which I don't really understand. Since I can no longer seem to contact him I'm trying to update the site myself but I'm having some trouble. I have a page on my site which contains a flash video player with and xml based playlist, however when I access this page from my main computer the page produces an error message which reads 'playlist could not be loaded due to cross-domain policy restrictions'. If I add www. to the address then it works fine. I'm unsure of how to rectify this or whether it is a problem for anyone else viewing the site: williammorrismusic.com/video.asp Below is the code I have used for the player: Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.williammorrismusic.com/swfobject.js'></script> <div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div> <script type='text/javascript'> var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','mpl','640','560','9'); so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true'); so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always'); so.addParam('wmode','opaque'); so.addVariable('playlistfile','http://www.williammorrismusic.com/playlist.xml'); so.addVariable('backcolor','000000'); so.addVariable('frontcolor','ffffff'); so.addVariable('lightcolor','ffffff'); so.addVariable('screencolor','000000'); so.addVariable('playlist','bottom'); so.write('mediaspace'); </script> Any help on this would be most appreciated.

The image tag is as follows: <img border="0" dynsrc="Test1.wmv" start="fileopen" loop="1" width=1081 height=838> Everything works fine, but now I need to play a video list (up to 5 videos). As soon as one video stops another video should start playing (at the same position automatically, without any user input) and as soon as the last video is stopped, it should start the first video again. So it will be like a loop. How can I achieve the above requirement? Thanks.

Many thanks for help. ZizaX. Hi all, I need Media player to stream and play video in javascript...any help or working link will work. My requirement is I have .wmv files but when i embed them in html pages first it gets downloaded and then it gets played. I need them playing while they are getting downloaded. please help, i have tried lots of codes but got no success I am not sure if I am in the right section. I tried to search this but couldn't find what I needed. I am very limited on my javascript knowledge. I need a video player that functions almost exactly like the one in this example: http://www.popcap.com/games/bookworm...L_1_8_19_08_en {the links that toggle between the video and flash slideshow depending on which is clicked. The player showing the videos and screenshots for the game}. I tried looking at the source to understand the functions, but my code is not working. I know the player is calling some javascript, but I'm not sure I understand it all. Can someone explain to me the basic functioning of this player as shown? I would very much appreciate it. I have looked all over for an answer to this, but haven't found a definite way to do it yet. I am updating my audio page (a demo track list for getting composing work) and getting rid of my flash audio player in favor of embedding .mp3 files, or adding them with the HTML5 audio tag. What I would like to be able to do is link into the page, and have that link autoplay a specific track out of the 10-20 that I will have on the same page. The problem is I am extremely new to scripting and have no idea where to even start with this. The reason I want it to be able to autoplay specific tracks is so I can market a specific track, and have that person (who is already expecting to hear the music on page load) not have to then look through the track list for that one track I was promoting and click play. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! hi, can some one help me how to get the time and date difference? given two time and date with the following format like in textbox A: 2011-05-03 17:35:47.0 and textbox B: 2011-05-03 16:35:47.0 then the output would be: 0 days, 1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds regards, verve Hello, I want to run video at our website at a specified time only,like i might want my video to be played at 9.00a.m exactly . how can i do it using javascript. Plz do revert back ASAP. Thanks, Revathi srikrishna I have a video on a page, which on a pc or mac, will play inside a standard flash player. On the iphone, I have setup javascript to detect iphone / ipod, and replace the flash player with an embedded m4v file: Code: if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) { $('div#vid').empty(''); $('div#vid').html('<div ontouchstart="incrementHitcount()"><embed src="http://www.gridcity.co.nz/uploaded/images/'+cid+'_bg.jpg" href="http://www.gridcity.co.nz/uploaded/videos/'+cid+'.m4v" type="video/x-m4v" rel="nofollow" target="myself" width="'+vidwidth+'" height="'+vidheight+'" scale="1" id="iphone"></embed><div>'); } So far so good. I also want to trigger a simple onclick which makes an ajax call a remote PHP file. I have tried ontouchstart instead (see above code) but still no luck. If I add the onclick to a static image rather than an embed instance, it works fine. But with the embedded video, it's as if the video blocks the onclick event for javascript to pickup. Does anyone know a way around this? I have created a kdate.js file in Kannada to display current, day,month,date,year and time.While the day,month are displayed in kannada the date,year time are shown in english.I want them to display in Kannada.Will some one guide me how I can do this and what are changes that to make in the javascript code.I have used unicode while writing Kannada script.

Please help and guide me. thanks js file in the form the text is sent as an attachment. Hi. I am having a little trouble with the following code, I am unsure where the problem is I will start from the beginning. Let me know if this is correct. 1. asked to declare a variable named timeStr=to the value returned from the showDateTime() function. 2.declare a variable named mapNum equal to the value returned from the getMap() function. Code: <title>SkyWeb: The Planisphere</title> <link href="skyweb.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="datetime.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function timestr(){ /* timestr is a text string containing the current date and time mapNum is the number of the map to display in the planisphere */ var timeStr=showDateTime(); var mapNum=getMap(); } </script> </head> It asks me to scroll down to the div element with the id value "maps" and replace the line <img id="sky" src="sky0.jpg" alt=""/> with a script element that writes the following code<img id='sky' src='skymapNum.jpg' alt='' /> where mapNum is the value of the mapNum variable. replace the date/time value "Jan 1 2007, 12:00 am" with a script element that writes the value of the timeStr variable to the web page.

Thank you in advanced for helping me Hi guys, I have JavaScript code that displays the date, time and URL in the web page, here is the code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>JavaScript Page One</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var today=new Date() var browser=navigator.appName; var b_version=navigator.appVersion; var version=parseFloat(b_version); document.write(''+today.toString()+'<br>'+window.location+'') document.write("<br />"); document.write("Browser name: "+ browser); document.write("<br />"); document.write("Browser version: "+ version); </script> </body> </html> How can i format it so that it uses the following colors for different date and time components: Day in red, Date in green, Month in yellow, Year in blue, Hours and Minutes in brown? And also, what is the JavaScript code to successfully display the number of forms, anchors and links in the page? Thanks ~Savage |
