[mazazino]

Hi, I need an online video player that would play .mpeg and .wmv files..like an <EMBED> tag thing..i know there are a lot out there but i cant seem to find them lol..so can anyone help?

The following is probably too verbose, but will do the job for .wmv:

<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="240"
classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'
codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/ mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
<param name='fileName' value="http://mydomain.com/video.wmv">
<param name='animationatStart' value='1'>
<param name='transparentatStart' value='1'>
<param name='autoStart' value='1'>
<param name='ShowControls' value='0'>
<param name='ShowDisplay' value='0'>
<param name='ShowStatusBar' value='0'>
<param name='loop' value='0'>
<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/ en/download/'
id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='0'
bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols='0' showtracker='1'
showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='0' videoborder3d='0' width="320" height="240"
src="http://mydomain.com/video.wmv" autostart='1' designtimesp='5311' loop='0'>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

 

Of course that only works if the user has WMP installed. It might play mpegs too.

 

Or you can convert the movies to flash (FLV) with something like http://vani.bhargav.googlepages.com/movica (MOVICA) to convert your videos to FLV. Then use an FLV player like flowplayer (http://flowplayer.org/) or something.

 

Videos are fun...
