ayianapaexposed Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyalfie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayianapaexposed Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyalfie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share 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.
