Embedded Windows Media Player

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

yes its possible, u can set up a link like this

<a href="yoursong.mp3" onclick="document.all.music.filename='yoursong.mp3';return false">Play Song</a>

that should work

[_=DUFF=_]

youll probably call me a noob but say i would like it to support video to under the same menu how would i do this???

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

increase the height of the player and instead of songs just put values of the videos, when i have time i will try to make this player cross browser functional, i think i know how just haven't gotten around to it

[_=DUFF=_]

i tried to do that but without any succes the most i got was the player to show but it wouldent reload and play. if you want i can send you the code

If you really wanna know "how to do" whatever with the media player, look no further than its SDK... find it here.

Hi i am having a specific problem with embedding Windows media player in my webpage.

I have the embedded player. And i have a few logo's.

What i want is that when i click on a certain logo the player starts to play a certain file.

If it is possible it should work like the following site. www.nederland.fm

Just to click on something and the music will start to play.

Can anybody help me? I have been googling for over a month now...

use the same method as you have quoted that i wrote, rather than putting Play Song in between the a tags but your logo in between them using the image tag

[Ferrence]

Thanks for your reply

However when i do it like that, the song will open in wmp outside the webpage, and i want it to open in the embedded player

probably im doing it wrong, maybe you can help me

i have combined your post into the following code maybe we can work i out

</div>

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

this isn't right

<a href="rip.m3u" onclick="document.all.music.filename='C:\Documents and Settings\Jurgen\Bureaublad\mp3\';return false">Play Song</a>

where is the m3u playlist relative in position to the page that has the player on it? the filename needs to equal an actual file not a directory, are u saying that doesn't work? try this instead

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.all.music.filename='rip.m3u';return false">Play Song</a>

[Ferrence]

Thanks it works!!!
now i can build my site, this is what i needed

keep it up

[Scootertaj]

Nice work Aerospace ! I never could have done that, have you had experience with this kinda stuff? How did you do it?

[codegoboom]

Indeed.

damn kids...

do what have the drop down menu change the song of the player? its just simple javascript, i've been teaching myself javascript, and i know how certain things work and what not, but being pretty good in C Programming other programming languages come naturally to me, i've said i would make this cross browser functional just haven't had the time yet, i write a script thought that does the same thing but it doesn't use the object tag it uses the embed tag, here is one that works on most browsers that are on a windows OS, that have windows media player

Hi hi, I would like to say that the above media player codes work miracles. U r really genius man!!! Hahaha :P I would like to enquire whether there are any codes to let the songs play automatically one by one without the users having to press any buttons? Tks a million!!!

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

yes rather than having mp3 files as the values u can use an .m3u playlist, check out this site any m3u file can be opened in notepad.
