ayianapaexposed Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) HI all Here is yet another problem I am having. I did search the archives for this and could not find what I was looking for. I have found some code as I want to embed video (but don't want to use you-tube). Here is the code: STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject"> WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> I have changed "videofilename.wmv" to the name of my video clip, but nothing is happening. I am getting the player when I preview the page but no video! Further info: The site is still only on my computer. Nothing is uploaded to the www yet. Can any one help, or am I just being stupid? Thanks Edited March 11, 2009 by ayianapaexposed Quote
daddyalfie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Make sure the path to your video-clip is correct. The way it is written now, the clip and your source code must be in the same folder. Also is your clip indeed a .wmv file? Quote
ayianapaexposed Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Daddyalfie. Thanks for the reply. I sent you a PM but please disregard it as I have managed to realise what was wrong. I have the video clips in another folder within the site folder. Taken them out and voila!! Thanks again. WOW I love this site! Quote
daddyalfie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I love this site too. This is where I learned! Another correct way to link to your video-clip is as follows: Put the clip back into your "videos" folder. Then link to it using the correct "path" ie: WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> The videos/ tells the browser to look for a file or folder named "videos" and then find your video-clip inside it.
