Take control of Windows Media Player buttons ???

[Followyourbliss]

I have the following code that works great for streaming a web radio station. The problem I have is that the default WMP controls are displayed.
Is it possible to turn off the visability of the player and use my own graphics to control it? Like having my own graphic for the play button?

<OBJECT id="Player">
<embed type='application/x-mplayer2'
pluginspage='

http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/'Name='MediaPlayer'

src='

http://followyourbliss.homeip.net:8000'

AutoStart=0 ShowStatusBar=1 volume=-1
HEIGHT=50 WIDTH=400>
</embed>
</OBJECT>

This would essentially allow me to make my own skin for a webpage.

Thanks,
Dave

It sure is. Searching on Google for "autostart showstatusbar" was a sure bet for me. The first link shows you how to do just what you asked:

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15777

by adding a "ShowControls" attribute with a value of "false".

The same search also found these two prominent results, showing all about custom buttons for WMP:

Amazing what a quick two-word search on Google will find!

Hope this helps,
Dan

The trick is in knowing WHICH two words to use. I sure wouldn't have thought of using either of those two search terms!

It was a fair bet that the setting the user wanted was set via a parameter, and those were two fairly distinctive parameter names. I thought that if there was a page showing all the parameters, it was bound to have those included.

Elementary, my dear Watson!
