embedd windows Media Player 1

[terion33333333]

I tried embedd windows Media Player in web page(play wmv inside page), I tried the following example:

<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=286 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="

http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">

<param name="filename" value="

http://yourdomain/yourmovie.wmv">

<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="

http://media.pmcmovies.com/SixtiesLove.wmv"

name="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240></embed>
</object>

Not work for me.

Two things is not clear: I linked wmv file from another host, not on host where web page located. (I can no put wmv file in the same host where html page is). So I specified wmv url in src="... " Second, what need be specified in value="

http://yourdomain/yourmovie.wmv"

? Is this the same path as in movie src="..? From the given example this not clear.

Yeah, the "value" should be the same as the "src". The embed tag is in there for browsers that don't support the object tag. So you'll basically repeat the same information in the embed as you would the object (file, width, height, etc).

Here is an example:

Can I link file from another host?

 

[ninjadeathmonkey]

Yes. Well, unless they have blocked hotlinking of their video files. But, yes, it is possible to use someone else's videos.
