Good tutorial for first timer

I need to start the clip in between so i need to define the start point and endpoint of clip in the param.. so can ne one please tell me what parameter should i set i n the object

<PARAM NAME="??????" VALUE="?????">

It is a good tutorial.

However, what should I do if a user click on link of media file, then I will open a new windows to play that file? Thank you very much.

andrei, you said " I haven't included all the parameters, only the most popular ones which you need:"

could you please list the rest of the parameters (or tell me where i can find them) ? i know that you can adjust the brightness level on WMP... is there a parameter for brightness as well? thank you... and thanks for the article it was very helpful !

I'm afraid there is no parameter that allows you to specify the brightness level.
MSDN has a more complete list of parameters <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/paramtags.asp" target="_blank">here</a>.

For Rizwan: You can specify the start point in seconds from the beginning, using the <i>currentPosition</i> parameter.

First of all, thank you for the tutorial. It was very helpful. I am wondering though if there is a way to have a wmp embedded in a HTML/DHTML/CSS only environment play a different song once one is finished. I was trying to use the player's ScriptCcommand and PlayStateChange events to then change the src attribute, but that does not seem to work, but I may be programming it incorrectly. Any ideas?

Hi Patrick.
Have a look at this page: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/streaming.html

hey this is very usefull but i want to use the media player for my radio broadcasting but it doesn't seem to work when everything is linked 2gether it still has no connexion to it!

plzzz help i ud appreciate that! thnx!

Tahnk u very very much.
one of best tutorial for the begginer who wants to go ahead with some basic understanding to deal with.

still requires much more on this.

When you embed a player onto a webpage, how can you get the controls to be black? I've seen it on other pages.

After I embedded the play and set "loop" to true..... everything works perfect in EI but will not loop in FF
Please help,
Thank you Jim

Use the second method I showed in the tutorial (the one where param tags reside inside the object tag), and add the following param tag:

&lt;PARAM name=&quot;loop&quot; value=&quot;True&quot;&gt;

Wow, this is the first time I got it to actually appear on my web page. I just can get a movie on it.
How do I do that step by step please. I know nothing about this. I have saved video slideshows from digital pictures that I have made movies out of. Please help

What format is your movie? Is it WMV?

Well, I can play it with windows media player yes

This is my website. I would like to show examples of a few movies for people to see.
www.memorytimeline.com

No matter which of the methods you try, make sure the movie file is in the same folder as the HTML file.

Then place the tag below in your HTML file, between the &lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt; tags, but remember to change the name of the file first from SampleName.wmv to whatever your file name is.

&lt;embed type=&quot;application/x-mplayer2&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/&quot; name=&quot;mediaplayer1&quot; ShowStatusBar=&quot;true&quot; EnableContextMenu=&quot;false&quot; autostart=&quot;false&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; loop=&quot;false&quot; src=&quot;SampleName.wmv&quot; /&gt;

If it still doesn't work, let me know what browser you're using, and what does it happen when you press the play button?

Better yet, point me to the page where you tried to embed the Windows Media Player.

ok, go to www.memorytimeline.com
as you can see, I have it on there but nothing else.
That stuff you told me is really really confusing. I will have to try and figure it out.

wow, it takes up a lot of room also

Now rename the movie file to MyVideo.wmv and upload it to where you uploaded the Home.html file.
If you wish I can guide you through MSN Messenger (my id is andrei_pociu@hotmail.com), but I won't be available until tomorrow.

it says movie file (mpeg)

I have the player working BUT....

<param name="showControls" value="false">

shows all the controls.
How can I get only the volume button/slider to show?

The volume slider should be visible. Please use the first tag listed in this tutorial and try again.

- I'm using the follwing code below to hide the video controls. They keep displaying in both Firefox and IE (latest versions). Is there something wrong with my syntax?


&lt;html&gt;<br />
&lt;head&gt;<br />
&lt;/head&gt;<br />
&lt;body&gt;<br />
&lt;div&gt;<br />
&lt;object width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;player&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;param name=&quot;UIMode&quot; value=&quot;none&quot; /&gt;<br />
&lt;param name=&quot;URL&quot; value=&quot;bayless320.wmv&quot; /&gt;<br />
&lt;param name=&quot;autoStart&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;<br />
&lt;embed width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;bayless320.wmv&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://windowsmedia.com/download/&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;<br />
&lt;/object&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />
&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;

It doesn't work because you didn't include the CLASSID attribute of the object tag as I showed in the example.
Without the CLASSID, it embedes to an older version of WMP that doesn't support the "uiMode" tag.

Also, the embed tag shouldn't be located inside the ojbect tag, the embed tag is just a separate method of embedding the media player. Please read the tutorial more carefully.

Its Really Good One

how can i control the WMP with javascript?

I dont want a forward, fast forward, backward buttons in a windows media player. I want that param objects!

Can anyone help me with something? I do not want WMP to autostart when the page loads, but I would like to put in a default image to appear before the user clicks play. Can anyone help? The parameter TransparentAtStart does not seem to exist in WMP 10 as far as I can see from the SDK.

Is there anyone there can help me how to embed a full feature Window Media 10 with a choice of seclection buton from Video 1 to Video 10 and from Song 1 to Song 10 on a website? Thank you

Kristine, I'm still new to this myself, but if you haven't already, you should download the Windows Media Player SDK from the microsoft website. This comes with samples, where you can look at the javascript that you can use to control the player. Still stuck on my problem though (see above!) Andrei - please help!

How in the world? I have been trying to figure out how in the world to display the "first frame" of the video so that there is at least an image that people can see before they click play to know what they will be viewing. Most of the code I come across displays a blank or empty window the video only comes out when they hit play. How can I display the first frame of the video so that people will know what video they will be playing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Frances, Ralph.

The only way to display the first frame I can think of, is to use Javascript to play the video for 1 second, and then to automatically pause, on page load. However, unless you also decrease the volume to 0, there will also be sound playing for that 1 second.
You can use JavaScript to control the embedded Windows Media Player object, such as: myPlayer.Play() and myPlayer.Pause().

Hi Kristine,
Is your information stored in a database? Will the choice of videos change dynamically? Or is it fixed?

Dear Andrei

Thanks for your advice. I have solved my problem by setting uimode = "invisible". This means that the background image behind the player object shows through (I have set the background image in CSS).

When the user clicks play, I am using javascript to change the uimode = "none." This solves the problem perfectly, so Ralph - if you can capture an image from your video using print screen (and making it the right size etc), you can set this as the background image.

You can even manipulate this background image based on player state, but let me know if you need any more help on this.

Now I have another problem. I have set autostart = "false" so that the media does not play immediately. However in Firefox, it still opens the media ready for playing as soon as it opens. I really do not want it to do this! How can I stop Firefox from automatically opening the media?

Any help much appreciated
Frances

Hello Frances,

Yes, I experienced the same problem with Firefox, lately. The solution is to use autostart="0" in the &lt;embed&gt; tag instead of autostart="false", which Firefox appears to ignore.
Let me know if that solves your problem, it worked for me.

Best regards,
Andrei

Hi Andrei

Thanks for the super-quick response. Unfortunately, I have tried this and it doesn't work either. The player automatically connects to the media and then stops, ready for play. Do you have any other ideas I could try?

Thanks very much
Frances

Can you give me a link where I can see the player you embedded (you can send it through email)?
I'm afraid this is the way Firefox handles the WMP embedded object.

Gian Wilson, My infomation is stored on someone's database and the choice of videos will be auto-changed after finishing one and will run another for Window Media 10. Thank you for ur help.

Hi Francis,

I am also facing the same problem. When I am trying to play the file through window media player in Firefox it is not playing the file. It shows "ready" and stops then.

Did you get the solution? If yes, can you help me.

Regards
Ankur

Very nice. This method works well for simply streaming video media but I need a way to programmatically determine when the video has stopped. I'm using VB.net but can read C# or C++ code. I'm really struggling with this and hope you can shed a little light on this - giving me a little nudge in the right direction.

Thanks much.

This might be possible using JScript.
But first: why do you want to know when the video stopped? So you can start playing another video? Because if so, there is another way of doing that, similar to creating a playlist.

Does anyone know how to force the player to not cache? The file on the server is updated frequently, and I want the latest version to play whenever the play button is pressed. Right now, I have to close the browser just to empty wmp's cache of the file (pressing refresh on the browser won't do it). Any ideas?

Thanks muchly,
Imbert

add a dynamic random id to the url with a server side language e.g vid.wmv?r=46a5a5s

Hello Imbert,
Try adding the following tag inside &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;:

&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Pragma&quot; CONTENT=&quot;no-cache&quot;&gt;

Just dropped in to thnk fr the script. Usin it on my site.

I am trying to play a video file as soon as the page is loaded... If i browse to the video file via IIS (directory browsing) thus my url would be &quot;http://blah/blah/blah.mpeg&quot; the file does not start playing until it has been downloaded to the client machine. Although if i browse to the machine over the network it will play!?? src=&quot;//blah/blah/blah.mpeg&quot;</p>
<p>The reason is cause its over an internal network and so the user needs to be logged in to get the file.... </p>
<p>if you have any ideas let me know..... </p>

What Windows server OS are you using? Windows Server 2003 Web Edition / Standard / Enterprise....?
Since a friend told me he couldn't get the video to stream over one of the editions because that version didn't support streaming, and it would only play when the file was completely downloaded.

streaming? By embedding video files a user is essentially downloading the file correct? Thus playing the file as it is being downloaded to some temporary location. By streaming one thinks of buffers and streaming servers... isnt this a different technology?

There is a buffer, and once it is filled the player will start playing the video and continue to download the remaining data. This way it ensures a smooth, uninterrupted play.

I am using windows 2000 server... and an http reference to the video file.

Have you tried different browsers (although unlikely to cause the problem)? Is there a link where I can see the video?

Hi Francis,

You say you have solved the problem of getting a poster frame to work for windows media player. This is interesting. Can you post the css that you have used or a link to the site so I can have a look?

Thanks

Karl

Does anyone has an idea how to play multiple files in the player, as there is one tag filename? Probably there is a simple answer, but I cannot find it...

I am trying to just raise the volume to MAX &quot;100&quot; on this video music code, cant do it!! please take a look what am I doing wrong?

&lt;div id=vpdiv&gt;&lt;embed allowScriptAccess=&quot;never&quot; name='RAOCXplayer' src='http://www.hotget.com/dovid.php?vid=5552' type='application/x-mplayer2' width='300' height='300' ShowControls='1' ShowStatusBar='0' loop='true' EnableContextMenu='0' DisplaySize='0' Volume='100' pluginspage='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;

Marco

Not sure if this will work, as I havn't tried it, but you could try using a playlist file, then in your code call that.

<p>Hello everyone, just to respond to your queries...</p>
<p>Ankur: My WMP in Firefox plays fine, I am looking for a way to stop FF from automatically connecting to the media on page load. Are you still having trouble?</p>
<p>ocertain: I don't know if this helps but the following script tracks the playstate of the media player (there are 10 states - see WMP SDK) - you can use this to control behaviour according to state. I have only included my script for when it has stopped (state 1) which calls on two of my own defined functions (in external script file). Incidentally this particular script does not seem to work if you put it in an external file, so put it directly in the head section of your page.</p>
<p>&lt;script for=&quot;Player&quot; language=&quot;javascript1.2&quot; event=&quot;playstatechange(newstate)&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;!--<br />
switch (newstate) <br />
{<br />
case 1:<br />
displayDefaultImage();<br />
Player.uiMode=&quot;invisible&quot;;<br />
displayState(&quot;Stopped&quot;);<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
--&gt;<br />
&lt;/script&gt;</p>
<p>Karl: I am contolling the display through using the above script. The player's default uimode is invisible so background &lt;div&gt; shows through when page loads. when the state changes to loading, uimode remains invisible, but i change the CSS ref of the background &lt;div&gt; to display the loading graphic (animated gif). when it starts playing, fast forwarding etc, i uimode is set to none (I am using javascript to control the player) which makes the player display instead of the background image. if the state changes to stop, i set uimode is invisible again to display the background image underneath.</p>
<p>I wrote two functions to change the CSS in the background div:</p>
<p>function displayLoadingImage()<br />
{<br />
var oDiv = document.getElementById(&quot;divBgPlayer&quot;);<br />
oDiv.className = &quot;bgPlayerLoading&quot;;<br />
}</p>
<p>function displayDefaultImage()<br />
{<br />
var oDiv = document.getElementById(&quot;divBgPlayer&quot;);<br />
oDiv.className = &quot;bgPlayerDefault&quot;;<br />
}</p>
<p>Hope this makes sense. </p>
<p>I am still totally stuck on preventing Firefox from connecting automatically to the media. Anyone have a suggestion?</p>
<p>Frances<br />
</p>

<p>Oops - the script I included was inside script tags with comments so it hasn't appeared. Here it is again:</p>
<p>&lt;script for=&quot;Player&quot; language=&quot;javascript1.2&quot; event=&quot;playstatechange(newstate)&quot;&gt;</p>
<p> switch (newstate) <br />
{<br />
case 0:<br />
displayDefaultImage();<br />
Player.uiMode=&quot;invisible&quot;;<br />
displayState(&quot;Undefined&quot;);<br />
break; <br />
case 1:<br />
displayDefaultImage();<br />
Player.uiMode=&quot;invisible&quot;;<br />
displayState(&quot;Stopped&quot;);<br />
break;<br />
case 2:<br />
Player.uiMode=&quot;none&quot;;<br />
displayState(&quot;Paused&quot;);<br />
break;</p>
<p>[close it all properly etc]</p>

Thank you for your response Frances.
I fixed the formatting of your comments, sorry about that.

Is it possible to embed a player in a page, but have 2 or more video files play in it (not at the same time, obviously)?

Marco, did you try the playlist thing that Chris suggested? I have not tried it either, but would be curious to know how it works. Have you downloaded the windows media player sdk from the microsoft website? You can easily have more than one video if you dynamically drive the link. If your site is not database driven, you could simply store the different links in an array and call them as you please (using javascript/php whatever you like).

As Chris suggested, linking to an M3U playlist file instead of the file directly will result in the embedded Windows Media Player to play one file right after the other, in the order in which they are listed in the M3U playlist.

I have a dilemma that I cannot find an adequate answer to. Once I have the WMP embedded within a web page, how do I get other links(files) on the same page to play within the embedded WMP? I realize that I could create a playlist (.asx), but if I have 40 media files on the playlist, I need an easier way for the visitor to go straight to file #38 if that is the one they want to see. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to create a customised seek bar (slider) for the current position of the media?

The customized slider sounds like a good idea--how do I implement?

My embedded WMP works perfectly with PARAMs hard coded on the HTML. But I can't find a method to change a Player property dynamically. For example, how can I change the default Player.Url programmatically?

You can dynamically change the URLs easily in PHP, but.......... can anyone tell me if you can do it using javascript?

My URLs are stored in a Javascript array (it has to be this way because of the tabbing system I am using).

I have tried using document.getElementById("blah").value = "blah.asx". When I print this value out, it recognises the URL correctly, but the player simply won't play it. Why is this? Can anyone help?

Re customized seek bar - I have not achieved it myself, but according to somebody on the Microsoft's WM.Talk discussion group - it is possible (their company has developed it but won't share the code which is fair enough I suppose). Has anyone else implemented it who would be kind enough to share the solution?

<p>Francis, talking about setting a background image that shows behind windows media player at start, said, </p>
<p>&quot;Thanks for your advice. I have solved my problem by setting uimode = &quot;invisible&quot;. This means that the background image behind the player object shows through (I have set the background image in CSS). </p>
<p>When the user clicks play, I am using javascript to change the uimode = &quot;none.&quot; This solves the problem perfectly, so Ralph - if you can capture an image from your video using print screen (and making it the right size etc), you can set this as the background image.&quot;</p>
<p>OK, so I have set my attribute to transparentatstart='true' and I have achieved the desired effect to put an image behind Windows Media Player. I then used style=&quot;position:relative to tell the image to move up behind the player. But, there seems to be a &quot;placeholder&quot; still there where the image would be according to HTML placement rules. See here:</p>

hi this is a fantastic tutorial, but i was wondering if how can i edit the buttons of PLAY FORWARD etc. like giving it a "skin" because i saw at www.nba.com they did it. anybody?

You can edit them by creating your own so called skin. More exactly you will only be showing the video window and choose to hide the other controls. Then you will create your own buttons (by using graphics) and use JavaScript to control the Windows Media Player object when they are clicked.
I can't give you more details, but there are a few tutorials on the web covering this; or you can look at the code that other websites use.

I have embedded the .wma file however it prompts other users with a \"network password\" box, and prompts them to type in a user name and password. I didn\'t even know I had one! I am using IIS if this helps, so the file is on my computer. Any ideas?!

Hi Andrei,

Do you know how play a video file with a .mpg extension using windows media player? Or do I have to convert the mpg to a wmv first? Any idea how to do this? Many thanks!

Antony

Do you know how to change the skin on an embeded media player? I want to change the standard if it's possible. Thanks

Guys, guys: to get multiple songs to play in succession on your webpage, then use the WebJay player on www.webjay.com and upload your files into a playlist. It will then give you the code to embed this playlist into your page.

The question i have is, how can i play a song on my page with an INVISIBLE media player? just music, no slider, no song title, etc? Please email me an answer or a suggestion if you have one at xemilyatkinsonx@aol.com

thankyou xxx

Hello all I have searched high and low to find this answer, and have been to many blogs. I have tested tons of code. Even after all efforts no luck. Well I have found the answer! I intend to go to all blogs and post it too. This question will baffle people no more!

Here goes...

After some searching and a lot of testing... Here\'s how I coded the embedded Media Player 9 to play more than one file in succession:

One of two files need to be created: either an \".asx\" or a \".m3u\" file. These files are
created through the Media Player itself.

First create a \"playlist\" of \".mp3\" files that you want to play on the web page:

1. Choose \"new playlist\" in the media player tool bar

2. Name it, then begin selecting \".mp3\" files or video files from the media library

3. Place these files in the \"new playlist\" you just created.

4. Once you have all the files you want in the playlist:

5. Select your playlist (highlight it)

6. Go to \"file\" in the media tool bar

7. Choose \"save playlist as\"

8. In the window that opens you will create your \".asx\" or \".m3u\" file

9. Name it

10. In the \"save as type\" box use the drop down menu to choose the file type

**You can choose either \".m3u\", \"any (.asx, .m3u, or .wpl)\"
[i](I chose to use the .asx format because it just works easier. By choosing \"any\" it seems to only save your file in the \".wpl\" format, which did not appear to be applicable to the embedded
player code according to all the information I could gather in my searches).[/i]

Now that you have created your \".asx\" or \".m3u\" file:

11. Upload this file and all \".mp3\" files associated with it (what\'s in your playlist) to your server.

The code for the embedded player, using these playlist files is as follows:

<OBJECT ID=\"mediaPlayer\"
CLASSID=\"CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95\" width=\"300\" height=\"120\"
CODEBASE=\"http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/
controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701\"
STANDBY=\"Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...\"
TYPE=\"application/x-oleobject\">
<PARAM NAME=\"fileName\" VALUE=\"http://myserver.com/New Playlist.m3u\">
<PARAM NAME=\"animationatStart\" VALUE=\"true\">
<PARAM NAME=\"transparentatStart\" VALUE=\"true\">
<PARAM NAME=\"autoStart\" VALUE=\"true\">
<PARAM NAME=\"showControls\" VALUE=\"true\">
<PARAM NAME=\"ShowDisplay\" VALUE=\"true\">
<PARAM NAME=\"loop\" VALUE=\"true\">
</OBJECT>

Of course you\'ll need to adjust the width and height if you\'ll be using this to play videos; at the current settings listed above only the player controls and track info will be visible.

Well that\'s it friends. Feel free to embed, and play any media file associated with windows media player.
I hope this proves useful to people.

Very clear tutorial.
I would like to use the embeded player with asp.net vb.net to play wav files I have loaded into a list box. But I can seem to find a wat to change the file to be played dynamically.
Can you point me to an answer or example. One question I also had was what is the diffenrence between the src and url properties?

Thanks Len

I used the embed tag above to play an mp3 file on a webpage. Is there a way to avoid the "click here to run an active X control on this page" box from popping up in IE? This scares most people away from the page all together. In firefox it starts and plays on its own with no problems....

Do anyone know why a picture in Media Player go after IE6 window with delays under WindowsXP SP2. (I checked under 2k3 and it works correctly there)... Can it be fixed somehow ?

thank you

And one more question...
Do you happen to know whether it is possible to change Media Player size in runtime?
(in response to window.onresize event for example)
I tryed to implement this but faced with problems:
player size was changed, but picture disappeared :(

Thank you

Great tutor.. But I would do like to know if anyone knows where can I found one step by step tutorial on how to produce an corporate WMP (custom) player for my site.
Tks to all support

I know someone mentioned this before... but when I embed the wmv into my webpage... in IE it sometimes shows as "ready" in the player but nothing happens when you click play.

And in firefox it says its getting data from the video hosting site but eventually it stops and nothing ever happens. Help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know if its possible to change video using php instead of javascript...

I've been able to get all of my videos playing fine, in succession, with the embeded media player using an m3u playlist, but I was wondering if it was possible to have links that are off to the side of the player actually tell the player which track to play. So, rather than having to "skip" through the tracks to find the one they would like to see, they can simply click "play blah blah" and that video will load. Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

I need help!!!!!! on my myspace page i have the video's and stuf playing and there fine but the only problem is that they all start playing at once!!!!!how can i embed the code so that they dont do that and how and where do i put it in and what is the code!!!

in the code look at autostart and change it from true to false prob.

Greetings
I used the playlist method for playing files back to back. When I do this my media player initially shows the available buttons for moving forward to a new track, then it just shows play ready. When I click on Play nothing happens.

Anyone have a solution answer to this ?

Peace
Lawrence

Greetings,
I figured it out. Instead of the ask or m3u. I had to use the wpl.
The asx and m3u files appear to be like shortcuts to the wpl.
When I switched from asx or m3u to wpl it worked fine. www.wisdomtones.com

Thanks for the tutorial. Good stuff

I would like to embed the WMP in a page with autostart set to false, and have it display a frame from the movie (rather than a black screen). In other words, the movie that is embedded on the page shouldn't play automatically, but I would like it to display a still frame from the movie.


I have a great deal of experience with QuickTime and this is called setting a 'poster frame'. Is there a way to do an equivaent thing with WMP?

Dear Rich
I don't know how (or if) you could automate that, but if you could manually get the graphic by doing a screen grab, you easily display it before the user has pressed play. See my earlier contributions about this.
Sorry if that doesn't help, I suspect it is not exactly what you were looking for.

I am trying to add a video to my myspace and I've been using MYTHEME.COM myspace editor to create my codes. I inserted a video url into the code correctly but for some reason it keeps saying PLUG-IN CONTENT and You need a plug-in to view this. There is an option to download the plugin but it just brings me to download WMP11 wich I've already downloaded and upgraded twice but it still shows the same plug in error. Can someone please help me get this video to work.

hey, this has nothing to do with WMV, but rather WMA.. I want to put a "posterframe" that would be displayed during the entire lenght of the stream.

I can only do the one frame before the audio starts, then it goes to black screen.

could someone help me ?

I am having a problem getting a video to play at all. I have used the code from this site with no luck. I have my own Apache server on my network that I use to test my site before it goes live. I use Apache on Suse Linux. All of my pages work just fine but I can\'t get the video to play. I just reads \"ready\". I did try another web server(abyss web server) and it worked just fine. Has anyone seen this issue before? Is this a Apache issue? Please help if you can.

When using controls and status bar:

Add 65 pixels to the height of the video for total object tag height

Add 70 pixels to the height of the video for total embed tag height

(non IE browsers see a different UI)

I need to start the clip in between so i need to define the start point and endpoint of clip in the param.. so can ne one please tell me what parameter should i set i n the object

Don't you people realize how annoying it is to visit a website and have audio & video start automatically? I am all for being able to put videos on a website, but having them start blaring and taking over whatever audio a machine is already playing, without the users permission, is over the line.

How do I let music files open up with windows media player from the visitor's computer when they want to listen to a song on my web page?

Nice topic. I have one doubt. Window Media player default property, when multiple files selected, it plays one by one. Next, Prev arrow buttons will be enalbed. How do I get this type of facility using html and embed tags?

Any suggestions, please share with me..

Hi, I have a problem with a ASX file, when I open this file appear the msg box "Enter Network password"..Do you know if I can the credential information into the ASX file ?? or do you know where I can store this information in order that Windows Media player doesnt asked me again these information ?
Thanks for your help!!
Diego

A simple example for all of you that would like to play more than one video in the same media player.

Note:
In the script you must change Player.URL to same id as the object id of your media player. If you use <Object id=Video> you must put Video.URL in the script.

Add this script in the HEAD of your web page:

<SCRIPT language = "JScript">

// Here you should add the first video URL.
function PlayVideo1 ()
{
Player.URL = "myVideo1.wmv";
}

// Here you should add the second video URL.
function PlayVideo2 ()
{
Player.URL = "myVideo2.wmv";
}

</SCRIPT>

In the HTML part of your page you embedd the media player and below you add something like this:

<a onclick=PlayVideo1()>Play video 1!</a><BR>
<a onclick=PlayVideo2()>Play video 2!</a>

You can use pictures, buttons or whatever you want, just add the onclick function to your tag.

You can also use onmouseover=PlayVideo1() to start the video just by moving the mouse over the tag.

Enjoy!

Does anyone know if/how to display closed caption subtitles in an embedded media player?

How can the webpage be designed to detect when a video has finished and then go to another page? Is there an event that JavaScript can access?

This is an excellent tutorial and Q&A!!!! Thank you for this!

My question is about buffering. I have been using this code for some time now to play audio files (mainly MP3). It works great most of the time and in the main browsers. Sometimes they do not play correctly though. They will buffer up about 30sec - 1min of audio and play it, but then they stop buffering and when it finishes playing what has been buffered, it just stops without finishing the rest of the files. You can click refresh and sometimes that fixes it sometimes it doesn\'t. I\'ve tried other computers, browsers, checked my server error logs and there\'s not indication of the source of the problem.

I\'d be fine with requiring the FULL file to load before playing. Anything so that the files play in their entirety instead of getting chopped up about half the time. Any suggestions?

How to control windows media player when embedded in a html page using Javascript in fiefox ? Plz give a solution as soon as possible ...........

How to start and stop the player at a predefined time instants in the timeline??

Hi, this tutorial is very helpful. I want to play the video on the click of onclick event of a button using javascript. I have achived that functionality for Internet Explorer but this is not working in Firefox. Firefox displays error \"Error: document.getElementById(\"Player\").controls has no properties\".
Following is the javascript code
function playvideo(fileurl)
{
document.getElementById(\"Player\").URL = fileurl;
document.getElementById(\"Player\").controls.play();
return false;
}

Great article. One question I have is this. I have an application where I need to reduce the lag time (caused by buffering) of the video sent from the encoder to the Media Player.

How can I programmatically change the buffering time? Or is there a property I can set? I do NOT want the user to have to right click and use the GUI interface to change the buffering time. I want to have the code do it.

Thanks!

i would like to embed an mp3 file that plays with one button that changes to on or off, depending on it's state. i haven't seen a tutorial for this simple action anywhere, though i see it on a lot of web pages. any ideas, anyone? thanx...

Dear Andrei and the crew, please help us !

What should we do, when we like to hide the source URL /streaming.../ by clicking right on the mouse. We only need to appear the resize-
part /50%-100%-200%-full screen/ and nothing else !

Every help is VERY appreciated !
Best thanks
Mike

is it possible to disable the seek bar when streaming a pre-recorded file

Abdullah, my friend, you have right, but

If we disable the right click option, disappears also the resizing possibility to 50%. Many of that streams are poor quality and
we have to offer this option.

Mike

Another query-what is the parameter to show the playlist?

I've got multiple problems with wmp. First, when I'm testing the page on my computer, I can't get the OBJECT tag to work in Firefox. When I'm using the EMBED tag, Firefox won't scale the video to the size I've specified, so I only see part of it. When I try putting the video online, the player is visible, but nothing happens, both in IE and Firefox. Help, anyone?

@What/Wat

Please refrain from your profanities. You attitude is not appreciated. If there is something that you don't understand, state your inquiries properly. Answers comes to those who asks and asks well. And shame on you. I'm ashamed to call you my "kabayan" :-(

Dear Frances,

Was just seaching the web looking for a solution to my problem when i came across your tutorial - very interesting!

The problem that i am having is with the buffer time on my music video - HOW CAN I DECREASE THE BUFFER TIME??

I have tried putting in the html code ' buffer="0" ' but nothing happens! - i just want my video to start playing - as soon as my webpage opens without having to wait 10 - 30 seconds for it to buff

Any ideas would be grately appreciated.

Best Regards,Joseph.

Hi all !

Well I've got a question for the community (that I've been asking to myself for a while now...). Does anybody know if it is possible to hide the WMP controls with Firefox ? It seems to be the "showcontrols" parameter but in my page it does not help.
With IE, it is possible to hide all the control buttons with the "uimode" parameter...
Thanks in advance for your help.

hi guines,
try adding the following attributes after "showcontrols":

showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='0' videoborder3d='-1'

I don't really know which one of those is responsible for disabling the controls, but it works just fine for me :)

Help me...

Hi
I can play a number of videos in WMP on the onclick event of buttons using javascript. This works perfectly in IE. I cannot get this to work in Firefox or Netscape. Any help appreciated.

Is there any way to make a wmv play (loop) the last frame indefinately? Currently whan a wmv reaches the last frame the movie stops and goes to 'black'. I would like it to loop the very lsat frame instead. (using WME 9)

Michael,
Using Javascript you are able to check the status of the player, and when the video has finished, you can set the position of the player at the last second of the video.

For Andrei regarding looping the last frame of a wmv - You said some javascript could check the status of the video and then reset the position of the player to the last second. Does this have to actually be one second (29 frames) or can it be the last frame itself? Could you post or email me the javascript and how the code is placed on the page (i'm assuming it would be placed inside the code that plays the wmv - but i don't know) Thank you for your help

how do i have a video load into the same player on my page? like if i had 2 videos to play and both with links on the page to the video? please email me

Andrei - at least post the script. I'll figure out how to use it by myself

Yes Kate, you set the height.
If you don't have the appropriate licenses, it's difficult to find (especially free) webhosts that allow you to store music files.

I have a question, how about this, I used this codes and they worked. But what I want is, after the file is done playing, the next file in the array will load.. can anyone help me pls??

Any hints on how to properly achieve that ?

Thank you in advance.

I would like to set the player size base of the acutal dimension of the video that will be played. In IE you can use

Player.imageSourceHeight and Player.imageSourceWidth

to get the orginal dimensions of the video. To use this you have to use the Player 6.4

As an example
<html>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
function displaymessage()
{
alert(Player1.imageSourceHeight)
alert(Player1.imageSourceWidth)
alert(Player1.FileName)
}
</script>

Clicking on the button should brings up a series of message boxes that displays the height, width, and location of the video being played. This works in IE but in browsers like Opera the message box displayes a value of undefined.

Does anyone know how to retrive the actual video dimension of a video file in browsers other that IE,such as Opera, or NetScape?

Hello;
In my webpage I have embeded WMP and on the left hand side of the page links are given for the media content. Currently when one clicks on the media link on the left hand side for every different link the pages reloads and media palys in the WMP. Is it possible to avoid the reload of page for every different link. User will click the link and in the same page WMP starts playing the new media content.

Hi~

First let me say, "Thank You for this tutorial, it is very helpful."

I understand that I'm supposed to add the url in order for my video to play. I just don't know how to get the url. I record my short videos for my new podcast using my webcam. Then I convert and compress them to wmv files. Where exactly do I upload it to get the url (filepath)? I'm very confused about that. My webpage has the HTML module to add the codes you gave me. Aside from that there's no way to upload my video.
I would appreciate any help.

After I figure this out I have to create an RSS Feed. That should be equally as interesting. :)

Again Thank You...very precise instructions here and I can see I'm not the only one who's most appreciative!

I want to embed my wmp skin into webpage. How to do that? Thank you

Depres - you upload them on an online server that you preferably have access to using FTP. Your webhost should provide you with this. If not you can open a free or paid webhosting account that offers FTP access.

Thank You...My webhost is Microsoft Office Live and I have contacted them to see if they provide FTP for my basic website. I should have my answer in the morning. Wow! You responded soo quickly.

I\'ve embedded a video on a website and the video freezes constiently when I play it. The sound will play perfectly, but the video won\'t. The buffering/loading suggests everything will run smoothly and then it doesn\'t. Is there any way to ensure the successful run of the video? Both sound and images? Thank you for your help, C-

Hello again Andrei~

I have successfully embeddedmy windows media player and uploaded my video. The problem is, it won't play when I add my url. What exactly goes after src="?" My url is: http://deprestalks.com/Documents/SINGING%20HOUNDS.wmv

this is my url for the video i'm trying to upload but it won't play. Can you help me?

Hi All

I have no problems with loading, viewing & showing the \"wmv\" file on a website i am designing, thank god. But what I need is a command to auto shut Windows Media after it has played the last clip , so I can reveal text behind the window that autoplays on entering site.. Say, Play video , WindowsMedia Player closes or dissolves to reveal say a text file on an html web site..

Thanks..

Hi! Good day! Can I ask how can I make an embedded video blank at first? I mean, isn’t it that when you use an embedded video(like for example posting in a blog), the content of the video is already on preview… What can I add to the script, for it to be blank at first so it will be a surprise when some one clicked it?

Hoping for your kind advice…

I was wondering how to create a playlist for the embedded player. src has only one song in it. Is there a way to access multiple songs that I have on my server in the same embeded player?

Check the April 2006 comments above - you'll need to create an M3U playlist and place it in the SRC attribute.

This is what I want to do:

http://www.dreamworks.com/dreamworks_home.html

Click on movies on the left side where the float lands.

I have read a year\\\'s worth of input and I\\\'m still not sure if anyone has accomplished this yet, Is it still unsolved? Can We Get Multiple Movie Poster Thumbnails on the same page all with links to the same player? A simple yes or no will do Thankyou. I may have overlooked...

Excellent information, thank you,
My question:
I have video on my site at 640x480, for the player to be the correct size for the video, you have to set the width to 640 and the height to 540 to compensate for the controls. How do I add a border around the player for this.
Thank you

ok how do you embed music onto a page just in the background. no musicplayer, nothing visible. just straight up music. Like for my myspace I want to have music but i dont want a player cuase then i think that looks sloppy. what code would i use to do this? like auto-play and loop as well.

embedding WMP how to enable shuffle mode...so that everytime I visit my page it plays a random song from the .m3u list? thanks

Is there anyway to pre-load another .avi file while one is playing? I\'ve been looking everywhere, and haven\\\'t been able to come up with anything.

Great Info!
my question!

I have created a mediaplayer combining pics and illtustrations to give it a kind of costomised windows media player look and successfully embeded it, thanks to the ode available on this site. In my site there is audio catergorsied in several categories. Listeners have the liberty of choosing what they want to listen, but when this happens i want the audio files to open in this media player i have created. I am not able to do this. Dont ask me to create applets or write javascript code coz i dont know any. Plz provide me with a solution. I will probably be able to acheive this by playlist and actual windows media player, but i want people to listen it on the custom palyer. Check BBC Radio - it is some thing i wana accheive.... thank u. Well another question will follow soon. LOL thank u

Hey.. Could you please tell me how to control functions like Play, Stop etc in Windows Media Player if I embed it in Firefox ?

Hey! Thanks for the tutorial! Its a great jumping off point! What I need to know and I believe it has already been asked here in various forms, is:

How do I embed multiple movies in one page to play in one player. Now before you answer with the playlist, I need them to play ONLY when clicked on. Example of this would be - http://www.nationalaccessgroup.com/video_corp.aspx

Any help would be much appreciated!

Actually after doing a little further research I found the answer....


<!--

{
document.WMP.URL=m;
}
function newImage(arg) {
if (document.images) {
rslt = new Image();
rslt.src = arg;

}

Do we have any PARAM for streaming setting?

Are there any parameters that I can set so that playing and buffering can occur simultaneously?

The media player will buffer.. play.. buffer again.. play again..

Can I remove such interruptions?

CAN ANY ONE TELL HOW TO EMBED THE WMP IN FIREFOX IF THE BROWSER DOESNOT HAVE WMP PLUGIN INSTALLED. WHAT CODE TO DETECT IF THE BROWSER HAVE THE PLUGIN AND IF NOT TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL TO PLAY A BROADCAST.

I have a bit of an odd application, where I want to get xy coordinates the mouse over the video as it is stepped forward. I had this working several years ago, but Microsoft seems to have changed something. http://www.univie.ac.at/cga/dig/

At the moment everything works except I can't get the movie to step forward. Can you tell me how to do this? I want to use this for teaching next week, so a quick response would be much appreciated!

I have been working the past three days trying to get wmv videos to work in IE and Firefox using codebase, embed src and object id codes with no luck. I used If IE code as well. The strange thing is that in the HTML-Kit when I use the Object code and I preview the files the video automatically opens as designed and previe in browser works in IE but not in FIrefox but if I call the video from the server it doesn\'t start in either browser. I have read the different codes from 2005 and 2006 above and I am at a loss. I am using Windows Media 10 and if I go to properties in the player panel the length is 0.0. I seem to remember if I tried to open directly in the player one of the methods worked but not embedded. Does anyone have any ideas? I\'ve run out of ideas.

How to add a static image at the beginning of a Windows Media Player, instead of having the video automatically plan. I'm embedding the video player in a Web page, but want to use a still frame as the first image, not a black box, and not start the video automatically. (I see someone asked the question above but there doesn't appear to be an answer. ) Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi
Does anybody know if I can access the elapsed time value in an ebedded player to use in my javascript. ie I want to test where someone is in a movie and then perform certain actions at specified times. I cannot just use my own counter as people skip backwards and forwards in the movie so I need to know exactly at what second in the movie they are rather than the elapsed time since the movie was loaded.
Thanks in advance

HI
I LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO ADD SUBTITLE ENGLISH TO MY WINDOW MEDIA PLAYER EMBEDDE IN WEB PAGES

Hi.
I just added the player to my webpage and it works fine except when I try to skip forwards or backwards with the slider, it has no effect. It gets pretty annoying when, for example, wanting to see the last 10 seconds of a 3 minute movie. How can this be fixed? Is it a movieformat issue? I first tried with .avi-files. Then the player wouldn't buffer, and would preload the whole movie before being able to watch, but the slider worked. Then I saved my moviefiles as .wmv, and then it buffered fine, but as stated above, I couldnt use the slider for skipping forwards or backwards. Any ideas?

Hi,
Could you tell me how to make windows media player open up in a small window, rather than on a full blank page.

YER HI... RE: MYSPACE ive add a program to myspace for W.M.P. it will play in windows I.E but not in firefox, ive down loaded plugins for my PC but still wont work. can any one help me here

regards PAUL..

I have more tha one players on one page. For some reason only the last player works corrrectly. The other one gets stuck on a frame . Anybody know why ?
thanks.

I use CMSimple as a basic environment for my website (http://salas.cmsimple.sk). And I used this tutorial to insert a player there (the last item in TOC). The code of this page is simple:

<H1>Videotéka</H1>
<DIV align=center>
<OBJECT id=music style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: maroon 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: maroon 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: maroon 1px solid; WIDTH: 296px; BORDER-BOTTOM: maroon 1px solid; HEIGHT: 246px\" height=246 width=296 align=center classid=clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95></OBJECT><BR><SELECT id=cancion onchange=document.all.music.filename=document.all.cancion.value; size=1 name=Music> <OPTION selected>::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Vyberte si video súbor :::::::::::::::::::::::::::</OPTION> <OPTION value=./downloads/MyVideo.wmv>MyVideo</OPTION> <OPTION value=./downloads/Buuu.wmv>Buuu</OPTION><OPTION value=./downloads/nazov-suboru.wmv>Názov súboru</OPTION></SELECT></DIV>

Nothing else can be saved (no PARAMs). The videos run really smoothly but without sound. What\'s wrong? Please, send me a PM.

OOOOPS, excuse me, what a shame... I had earphones switched in and wondered why no sound went from loudspeakers. Everything works 100%. Great feature. Thanks.

Hi,
I need to play an .avi file onto the browser. I can play the .avi file from windows media player directly. However when i try to put the SRC = xyz.avi, it does not work. Maybe i am missing something in hte setup, but don\'t know what.
Any clues?
THanks,

allowing the client to play a spesific media

I am testing some movies on my website, and everything works fine in IE7.

When I try to open the same page in FIREFOX, the movie will not only play in the browser, but also in a separated WMPwindow.

How can I stop FIREFOX (or wherever the command is given) from opening the Windows Media Player Window ???

I woud only like to see the movie in my browser as per IE7

Example: http://www.fastmovie.be/en/trailerx.php?Id=1942 (!!! adult content !!!)

it is very nice... i need to know how can we find the length of the video (ie: total duration of the video) ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
In my webpage i have more than 10 WMV files.I need to show only bullhorn images for WMV files if i clicks on that image i need to play the file.
I have followed below two Methods
Firs Method is: When I click on bullhorn image I am generating embed and object tags but it will take loading time. I am thinking it is not a good way. But it is working fine.
Second Method is : i am preloading all the audio files with autostart=false but when i click on image it is not playing audio file . For this I used javascript
1. if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf(\\\"IE\\\") > -1) && (navigator.platform == \\\"Win32\\\")) {
document.getElementById(\\\"mediaPlayer\\\").autoStart = true;
} else {
document.MediaPlayer.SetAutoStart(true);
}

2.
if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf(\\\"IE\\\") > -1) && (navigator.platform == \\\"Win32\\\")) {
document.getElementById(\\\"mediaPlayer\\\").controls.play();
} else {
document.MediaPlayer.controls.play()
}

in above both cases not playing my audio file

Please anyone help me. suggest me an idea

Is there any way to change volume, or jump to a point in the media?

Microsoft has docs up fairly recently as to how to control WMP in Firefox, and I\'m confused as to why, of all the methods they document, some which say they do work in FF, some which say they do not, none actually work in IE7. Using WMP 11 in IE7, it appears I can do:

mediaPlayer.Play();
mediaPlayer.Pause();
mediaPlayer.Stop();

But mediaPlayer does *not* have any controls or settings objects (or actually it has a settings, which is null). I have scoured the web looking for any documentation, and only come up with that Firefox howto and another page that says it only applies to WMP 6.4. Which was a while ago...

I am using QuickTime Player in Asp.net 2.0 with IE7,
It is opening the Player Window and play movie fine,
but when i close that window, it close the window but not the player.

Please anyone help me. suggest me an idea

Thanks.

I have the media player on the web page .Now how do I GET MY WMV DOCUMENTS FROM MY documents to come up on the player?

Anybody knows why the sound plays nicely but the video is just a green screen?

Thx!

I have built a nice web interface to watch my movies over a local area network, my only problem is that because i am calling them from a web browser the movie has to be downloaded to each computer b4 it starts playing causing delays up to 10 mins or so b4 they play. Is there a way to get the movies to start playing straight away like they would if i was to open them thru windows explorer, the default player used is windows media player, and I dont really wish to convert all the movies to ASX or ASF, can anyone help :P, thank you

I am creating a online radio station for a friend, which he uses SAM Broadcaster. I got windows media player to play the stream he has set up, but I can\'t figure out how to display the subtitles that he got set up. I am working on this website remotely, away from the computer that is doing the streaming, not sure if that makes a difference. I am new to web development and don\'t know too much about streaming media.

I've used <PARAM name="loop" value="True"> so WMP plays the movie continuously on the home page. It works fine in Explorer but in Firefox it only plays once. Can anyone shed light on this?.....thanks

I am trying to disable the screen for the windows media player. It works fine on IE but Firefox the screen keeps showing up.
Is there any tweaks for firefox to disable the screen?

Thanks

Please post the answer if someone has it.

Is there anyway to shuffle a .m3u playlist in the embedded wmp?

tom,

Dude that code is simple you just have to change the uni mode... If you make it mini you will get all the controls but you will not have a screen.

<PARAM name="uiMode" value="mini">

Greetings! I have everything running as desired in IE. However, in Firefox I can not get any of the parameters to be recognized, meaning I have disabled controls, status bar using embed tag and they still appear.

Here is code I am using. any ideas how to turn them off? Thanks so much!

I've sucessfully embeded the wmv on my website, but I've limited the number of people who can view by streaming video because of bandwidth restrictions.

I'm trying to create a page where there are several links each to a different video. I want a new page to open when you click the link, and in that new page I've embedded Windows Media Player which automatically starts playing the appropriate video. It works for the first video on my page but the subsequent 3 I can't get to show. Any help would be appreciated. The actual webpage is www.seanwrightpro.com/contenderasia
Here is the relevant bits of code:

For the first video -
<a href="contenderasia/play_video.html" onClick="window.open(this.href,'video','top=50, left=50, width=280, height=257, toolbar=no, menubar=no, location=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no'); return false;">1 - Introduction</a>

The second video is linked to with the same code but obviously different page (href="contenderasia/play_video2.html") and then play_video3.html for the third and video4 for the fourth.

The source for page play_video.html is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Each play_video file (ie 2,3,4) has the same code but with the .m3u file change (ie play_video2.m3u or play_video4.m3u).

The .m3u files contain only the location of the video in question:

http://www.seanwrightpro.com/contenderasia/intro.wmv

This one is for the first video, the other videos have .m3u files the same but obviously a different video name.

The first clip works but the subsequent 3 don't. Is this something to do with the way I've named the .m3u files or can anyone else help with spotting where my mistake is? I'm new to all this so please forgive me for the messy code!

I do not have much experience using HTML so I am sure the answer to my question is simple. I need to find out how to code a music player to have multiple songs on it. I have tried changing a few things on the music players coding already but I can't seem to find one that allows for more then one song to play. I can get it to continuously play the first though.

The coding for my current player, having both songs included in it but not playing, is:
<embed src="music/runescape-7th realm.mid" src="music/runescape-adventure.mid" width=145 height=15 autostart=true loop=true>
</noembed>

I would like to add many more songs to this player, so your method needs to allow me to add many more songs to this one player

HELP PLEASE! I copy this from Miscrosoft, but the previous and next button doesn't work.. I've talk to them online without success, can anyone tell me how to get it to go the next or previous?

Please reply to this mail id as well chiranvijay@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

Try this code, see if this works.

<body>
<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="yourvideofilename.wmv or audio.wma">

Windows Media Player comes in many different versions.

Here are the class ID's of the different versions, with a list of parameters.

Why Has the class ID Changed?

The correct class ID for Windows Media Player 7 and later is: clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6.

Many places on the internet it states that the class ID should be: clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95. This class ID is the old one, but it will work, because of backward compability. However, if you use the old class ID you will not be able to use the new features added to the component.

Windows Media Player 10
clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6 (same as WMP7)

Windows Media Player 9
clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6 (same as WMP7)

Windows Media Player 7
clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6

Windows Media Player 6.4
clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95

Streaming Windows Media Player to other computer does work as long each computers have windows media player installed with plug ins. I have no idea if WII can handle WMP streaming. You may have to install special plug in or flash to your computer or server or to WII to get it work since all computer systems require plug ins or flash plug ins to see each other. Sorry I can't help ViJay.

Random Playlist. Copy and paste to your HTML.

<script language="JavaScript">

var mid2 = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/audiofile2.mid or mp3"
var mid3 = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/audiofile3.mid or mp3"

num = parseInt(Math.random() * 3);
while (num > midis) {
num = parseInt(Math.random() * 3);
}
if (num == 0) {
document.write ("<embed src=\"" mid1 "\" loop=\"true\" hidden=\"true\">");

I've got the media player working on our site, but I do not want the video screen to show. We are only playing audio messages and don't need the video screen. Is there anywhere in the code that I can change to remove the video screen?

Hi, great tutorial, I've got it working just fine however only in firefox, when I try to open my webpage in Internet Explorer it just comes up as a quicktime fault... anybody know why??

I've been reading about this for a month now and this is the first time I actually have some hope that it will work! Your writing is very easy to understand - even for a neophite like me!

I am having the same problem that others have had but I do not see how their problem was fixed.

The window, the controls and the status bar are all there but when I click to play, it says very fast so it's hard to catch that it is connecting then goes back to the ready mode. But my video does not play.

Can you please help me too?

my URL is fortheloveoflabradors.com/video/view/puppyCamReruns.html and the file I am trying to play is in the same location and called May4-09.wmv.

Thanks for your nice site!!!

Hello, I embedded wm player in the webpage iwth a wmv file. I have <param name='transparentatStart' value='0'> which shows wm player in a black background in the webpage. How can I attach a picture/icon/thumbnail in the display area for the movie. I have autostart value as "0". Please help me. Thanks.

Thank you for that helpful tutorial

I have been trying to embed a wmv video into my web site. I am now using WMP 11 (using Vista 32 bit) and everytime I insert my code (below):

<object id="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/ nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="500" height="500">
<param name="fileName" value="RomaineFamily_3.wmv">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-300">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="http://mysite.verizon.net/vzezc2m5/RomaineFamily_3.wmv" name="MediaPlayer1" width=500 height=500 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-300>
</object>

It plays fine thru the test in Windows Expression Web but will not play at the web site. I click on Error Details in the WMP box on the web page and the following shows:

Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.

I have tried about 20 different combinations of the coding and all get the same result. I never had this problem when using earlier versions of WMP and I'm starting to think that 11 is causing the problem but can't figure out how to correct it. I have done all the things that are given as fixes for the WMP error and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I want to know if it is possible to populate playlist from a database instead of having to specify the URL in the playlist file. The idea is that, when the user clicks POP on my page, all music that have their genre as POP in my database should be played to him.

Looking forward to a quick response please!!!

I've see a lot of old code floating around try this instead:

<object type="video/x-ms-wmv"
data="XXX.wmv" style="width: XXXpx; height: XXXpx">
<param name="src" value="XXX.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="showstatusbar" value="true" />
</object>

That's all you need ;) and W3C friendly!

Hi,

For embedding WMP into the web page, does any one know how to enable the WMP menu (just like when you play the wmv file straight from your desktop), so that users can have an option to save the stream media to their local desktop?

Truly appreciate for your help.

Does anyone have the Param code to get the seek bar and buttons to work?

Everything works fine, but I can't seek, when I drag the seek bar it goes right back to the spot the video is currently playing, and the seek buttons don't function.

Anyway I can change this so the seek bar and buttons work?

Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial. I embeded the player and my video is playing. Unfotunately none of the controls work, except for play pause. Any ideas?

Hello again sorry I was cut off, Thank you once again for you kind help but I gave up the idea of showing films as it just would not work.

I started to use UTube to show things but now it seems to me you put them on a page and they will not play.. I shall just stick to plain old pages.

I did get the last one to play but all at once , wrong again I thought I would be able to play them individually..Wrong again ...will leave url and you might get a chuckle at my attemtps.

To anyone who only is able to use the play button, and none of the other controls work, I just figured out that the other controls, like the seek bar, and forward/reverse controls work after the video is fully loaded. While the video is loading these controls won't work...just wait for the whole video to load, and after whatever amount time that is (depending on the size of your video file), the other controls should be fully functional. It happened to me that way.

I can get the player to work fine in IE but can,t get it to show on the page in FF, NS or safari. Please could you give me some advice. Video format is wmv

VERY VERY THANKS. IT WORKS...

Thank you

I too, would like to know how to have an image, whether it be the first frame or an image that must be referenced in the parameters. About a dozen people have asked this questions and no one has had an answer.

Is this possible?

Hi Swapnil,

The code is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
function play(media){
document.getElementById('mediaplayer').innerHTML=
'<object classid="clsid:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"'
'type="application/x-oleobject" width="320" height="285">'
'<param name="showControls" value="false">'
'<param name="fileName" value="' media '">'
'<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" width="320" height="285"'
'showcontrols="false" src="' media '"><\/embed><\/object>'
}
</script>


<div id="mediaplayer"></div>
<ul id="menu">
<li><a onclick="play(this.href);return false" href="">Source 1</a></li>
<li><a onclick="play(this.href);return false" href="">Source 2</a></li>
<li><a onclick="play(this.href);return false" href="">Source 3</a></li>
</ul>

This code works but for the first time when you open the web page windows media player will not be visible only when you click on the link windows media player will appear and then the file will play. What I wont is as soon as we go to the web page windows media player is displayed on the web page along with the links to pay AVI files and then user clicks on any AVI file and then it play inside the windows media player.

Kindly help

thanks
