How to fetch mpg file from content repository

Question

Hi All,
I have uploaded a mpg(video) file in content repositoy. But I am not able to fetch
it and display it using embed tag.
is anybody aware of a right method to do the same?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I was thinking there might be a difference in how the browser handles a
path with a space when typed into the address bar vs. how the browser
plugin/activex-object handles a path with a space when it gets it from
the <param> or <embed> tag.
Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on. How content displays on
someone's computer mostly depends on the persons's computer, how it's
configured, what's installed, etc. If you can get the Node's BinaryValue
from the WLP server and it has the correct ContentType and the correct
bytes, then, at that point, WLP is no longer really involved.
Do PDFs, word docs, audio, shockwave, and other binary media types
stored in a WLP content repository display correctly with
<object><embed> tags in your browser?

Hi Gregory Smith,
There is no problem with path at all. The same path if I write in address bar
of browser it opens a widows media player and plays the video file.
Pls suggest.

See if using a path of
http://etgjw4:7001/JWWebApp/ShowBinary/BEA+Repository/Ads/AdsPopup/ad1//image
(note the + between BEA and Repository) changes anything. If so, you
can
use the com.bea.content.manager.ContentHelper.pathInfoEncode() method
to
URLEncode the node path, e.g.
http://etgjw4:7001<%=request.getContextPath()%>/ShowBinary<%=ContentHelper.pathInfoEncode(node.getPath())%>//image
or, the <cm:getProperty> tag supports this automatically, e.g:
http://etgjw4:7001<%=request.getContextPath()%>/ShowBinary<cm:getProperty
name="cm_path" node=<%=node%> conversionType="url"/>//image
(You might need to double check that code in workshop to make sure it
compiles).

Hi Gregory,
When I type the repository path //property name in the browser's addressbook,
It opens a windows media player and plays the video file.
But when I copy the same path and paste it in embed/object tag it justloads up
a windows media player. When I see the error details it says "Cannotopen. Please
verify that the path and filename are correct and try again." Thereis a advanced
button on error window clicking on that it shows "The specified streamtype is
not recognized. (Error=C00D07E2)
Cannot open. Please verify that the path and filename are correctand try again.
(Error=C00D07E2)".
can you give me a solution on this?
The HTML code that I have written is attached to this query.
Thanks alot,
Vijay

First, make sure the BinaryValue of the property of the Node has the
correct content-type (should be video/mpeg, or similar). This can be
in
1 of the following ways:
1. Look in the BLOB_CONTENT_TYPE column of the CM_PROPERTY table.
2. Get the Node (e.g. with <cm:getNode>), then get the BinaryValue
(with
<cm:getProperty>), and call the getContentType() method of the BinaryValue.
3. Show the ShowBinaryServlet on the Node in the browser and see what
your browser does. The URL would probably be something like
http://<server>:<port>/<webapp>/ShowBinary/<path to node>, e.g.
http://localhost:7001/sampleportal/ShowBinary/BEA+Repository/mynode.
You
can bring up the properties for that in IE, or Page Info (Ctrl-I) in
Mozilla; that should tell you the content type the browser received.
If it's not something like video/mpeg, then that's why it's not working.
Make sure you browser has support of mpegs in <embed> by creating a
simple html file with an <embed> to an mpeg file (don't use the server
at all). If that works and the content-type of the node is correct,you
should be to create an html file with an <embed> to the URL in #3 above,
e.g.
<embed
src="http://localhost:7001/sampleportal/ShowBinary/BEA+Repository/mynmode">
</embed>
If that works, make sure your jsp is generating the correct HTML.
