hmmm lse123...

WMP does more 'stuff' in IE.

QT adds QTtask.exe.

Flash player has the advantages of being available in +98% of browsers and is nearly OS and browser independant. But it still does less 'stuff' in Linux (9 vs 7 the last time I looked).

classid and codebase??? "This attribute may be used to specify the location of an object's implementation via a URI" and "This attribute specifies the base path used to resolve relative URIs specified by the classid, data, and archive attributes". (w3.org)

What, exactly, are you saying/questioning?

Hi. I have read through this sticky some and I didn't see what I was looking for. It could have been there so I apologize if someone has to repeat themself. I am looking to add visualization to my wmp embed code. Please help. My code is as follows..

<center>
<object type="application/x-mplayer2" classid="6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="200" width="560">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="InvokeURLs" value="0" />
<param name="fileName" value="http://www.drumnbasstv.com/128.m3u" />
<param name="URL" value="http://www.drumnbasstv.com/128.m3u" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.drumnbasstv.com/128.m3u" />
<param name="showstatusbar" value="true" />
</object>

Read this thread. There are some solutions that involve m3u playlists.

Hi Aerospace,

I've already read all of this thread and I've already created my own webpage using your helpful embedded code and it is working with IE and Firefox but I don't know how I could play the m3u playlist using windows media player for pocket PC.

Just in case you need it, my page is http://mypages.no-ip.info/radiojb/index.html

Thanks for your help again.

You need to create your m3u playlist. There are examples of how to do so in this thread. Then make the src and filename values the location of the playlist. On a site note, flash would be a much better choice for playing audio files. I use the one found here: http://www.*******************/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player

add this to your code,

<param name="uiMode" value="mini">

and this at the bottom area of code,

uimode="mini"

How tall your media player is, will determine how tall the visual window is.

I made mine small to go with my music interface, came out nice thanks to _Aerospace_Eng_ and this forum thread.

hi

i want to do some thing like this to but i will like to have it linked to my itunes or winamp. is there a programe that can do this

Hey I read about 10 pages in to the site and tried out various coding but I couldn't seem to find the right combination for what I am looking for- in the image below you'll see what I am trying to do.

Basically I want to be able to link multiple song files to the embedded player that will be played on click (and no song auto-starting)- The look of the embedded player doesn't have to be what it is, though if there is a way to keep it dark and somewhat polished that would be great asthetically.

I hope someone can help me out on this, thanks!

WMP doesn't have much ability to be customized. There is the player here which is flash, which might suffice.

then there is the WMV player but requires SilverLight to be installed. Not many people have this yet.

[Epistemologist]

Okay new edit lol, I got it set-up on my sample page and I am going to pick up the license once I figure out how to link the hyper-links to the player, if you could give me some direction on how to go about it that'd be awesome I am kind of looking through the readme but haven't found the information I need- will I need to make a linked script page or something?

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

I think the best you will get is displaying the playlist. I don't know if you can have it show up on the top or not. You will need an xml file that stores the locations of the tracks. You could put a prefix in the flash file that "hides" the actual path to the audio files so people can't really take them.

[Epistemologist]

Hmm, well is there anyway you can help me figure out how to make the playlist- I guess I can try it to see what it looks like.

No I don't have the time sorry. Unless you are willing to hire me at 40 an hour.
