Trouble embedding Windows Media Player in MySpace blog posts

keystroke · 03-09-2007, 12:46 AM

Hey,

For a few weeks now I haven't been able to embed songs on my MySpace blog. I was able to do it before, but now the code gets deleted each time I try to embed.

If anyone can shed some light on the subject, it would be much appreciated. If you need more information, just ask.

Here are the codes I've tried:

Code:

<embed src="mysongurl" width="300" height="100" type="audio/mpeg mpga mp2 mp3" autostart="false" loop="false">

Code:

<EMBED SRC="mysong" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="false" HIDDEN="false" Width="145" Height="30">

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Kristina's Music</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
text-align:center;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PlayIt(what){
player.document.getElementById('music').innerHTML='<object width="300" height="100" '
      +'classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" '
      +'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="url" value="'+what+'">'
      +'<param name="uiMode" value="full">'
      +'<param name="autoStart" value="true">'
      +'<param name="loop" value="true">'
      +'<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" '
      +'pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" '
      +'showcontrols="true" uimode="full" width="300" height="45" '
      +'src="'+what+'" autostart="true" loop="true">'
+'</object>';
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<select name="player" onchange="PlayIt(this.value)">
<option value="none">::Choose Song::</option>
<option value="mysong url ">My song Title</option>
</select><br>
<div id="music">
<object width="300" height="100" 
      classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" 
      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="url" value="">
      <param name="uiMode" value="full">
      <param name="autoStart" value="true">
      <param name="loop" value="true">
      <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
      pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" 
      showcontrols="true" uimode="full" width="300" height="45" 
      src="" autostart="true" loop="true">
</object>
</div>
</html>

You can't use javascript on myspace. You can't use the object tag either. Try this

Code:

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
      pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" 
      showcontrols="true" uimode="full" width="300" height="45" 
      src="mysongurl" autostart="1" playcount="9999">

Okay, I will try that. But, how does that explain the other two codes I tried? I didn't think that this:

Code:

<EMBED SRC="mysong" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="false" HIDDEN="false" Width="145" Height="30">

was JavaScript.

Thanks.

I think the player has to be visible. I don't do myspace very much. Just live with the fact that they don't allow certain things.

phils...you need to start your own thread

MySpace does not like the EMBED tag. You'll have to do it with OBJECT tags only.
