I am working on a web site where the customer wishes to have a embedded Windows Media Player on the page. But the customer wants the menu below, to play in the embedded player when a customer has clicked on a button from the menu below. The customer does not want his customers download a player from Microsoft Window Media. Just wants the video clip to appear on the embedded player. Please Help, I have ranked my brain's over this mater for sometime now. Stephen Wickham |

Insert this bit of javascript into the head of your page: <script type="text/javascript">#mediaplayer {<div id="mediaplayer"></div>You'll want to add your own styling to the links with CSS, add more links to the menu if needed and change the width and height to suit your page. ---------------------------------------- Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur |

Hey, You may not need this info now ... but here goes ... even if you embed Windows Media Player in a webpage, the client will still need Windows Media Player installed on their local machine to work, as that hexadecimal number references the local WMP, not the servers - no way around that?? Cheers Chris |

22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95 is class id of ActiveX. Media Player will work just like other ActiveX object on end computer. But it will be considered as security control since it is ship with Windows in default. You don't need to worry about this if your target visitors use windows-based computer. For MacOS, I guess you have to use RealPlayer or QuickTime. |

Hi Im, I totally missed your post about changing skins. I've never done it and know nothing about it but I did find this if you're still intersted. Enabling Users to Personalize Your Skin that hexadecimal number references the local WMP, not the servers - no way around that?? A server wouldn't have WMP. It's a chunk of software for playing media on a user's computer. And you can install it on a Mac, although M$ is discontinuing support and updates for the Mac version. ---------------------------------------- Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur |

hi Bill, Thanx for the reply. I will look into it. i was looking at the time for some decent looking player, rather just looking like tiny strip with some buttons and not like this standard silverish media player box. Since then i tested odeo for mp3's and YouTube for video's and decided, if i will need some players, i will use rather those.  May be my other unanswered questions will show up again this way.Thanx again. ---------------------------------------- My blog |

Are those Flash based player's? I've been sort of pondering using those instead of Media Player because I've seen some that look way nicer. Do you have to convert file formats or anything like that. What do you know about them. ---------------------------------------- Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur |

Odeo (www.odeo.com) is based on flash player. This code they give to embed: <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwav...cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="476" height="80" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="movie" value="http://odeo.com/flash/audio_player_fullsize.swf?ver=1.03"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="flashvars" value="audio_id=1152318&audio_duration=5.345&valid_sample_rate=true&external_url=http://media.odeo.com//files/7/1/1/363711.mp3"> <embed src="http://odeo.com/flash/audio_player_fullsize.swf?ver=1.03" width="476" height="80" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="audio_id=1152318&audio_duration=5.345&valid_sample_rate=true&external_url=http://media.odeo.com//files/7/1/1/363711.mp3" wmode="transparent"> </embed> </object> This particular code gives quite huge player with pink button but they have also different skins now. YouTube (www.youtube.com) also on flash. It is just copy-paste and streaming video on a page. It was quite a shock to get my fav.video on my page in a few mins. The good thing about these two is a conveinience. You dont have to spend much time on little things like embedding media. About files format they support: it is better to see it for yourself there. I didnt dig further yet. Cheers ---------------------------------------- My blog |

@billyboy, Skin doesn't help in this case. It works on local computer only. You can't control anything from server-side. |
