Inserting a Windows Media Player in a web page-Tutorial

Hi all,
I am still having problems with this tutorial.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15777
I have done all sorts of chopping and changing with no luck
and have gone
back to a basic test page and it still will not play when
uploaded to my
site.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thank you
Andre

  • How do I insert  a windows media player video on my webpage?

    Hi
    I want to insert a video in windows media player on my webpage. (actually I want to insert 3 on the 1 page, but to start with, I'll be happy with 1!)
    Dreamweaver says that it doesnt recognise the file type, and the dreamweaver help is pretty bad on this topic.
    Any help gratefully received
    Many thanks
    Bax

    Flash Video is the gold standard used on YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace and other video sharing sites now.  DW makes it easy to insert Flash Video but tougher for other file types.
    In Code View, paste this into your page and change both instances of videofilename.wmv to your own.
    <OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
    STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
    <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="videofilename.wmv">

  • Quick time file to be converted for windows media player usage on web site

    i have a quicktime file and need to convert it for usage on a website through windows media player. i have final cut and compressor and can convert it to mpeg 1 and 2. is there a recommended codec or tool i should use for the conversion. the file will probably be viewed through a downlaod versus streaming video...if that matters.
    thanks

    Although I dislike MPEG-1 because of the large file size those .mpg files are commonly used on the Web. They can be played by nearly any computer and are not "Player" dependent like WMP or QuickTime so each user can decide how to view them.
    As a bonus they are a "playback" format which makes editing and repurposing them a bit more difficult so your media is a bit more "secure".
    I'll stick to QuickTime formats (avoiding H.264 video codec) and force QuickTime down their WiMPy throats. Millions of PC's have QuickTime installed (because of iTunes) and others can easily download the free Player and browser plug-in. By avoiding H.264 my files can be viewed on Mac's and PC's that can't install QuickTime 7.

  • Embed Windows Media Player

    I need step by step instrustions on how to embed Windows Media player into my web site

    What version of GL are you running?
    If it's a newer version you should have a Windows Media Object in the Object Palette that you can drag and drop onto your page, then link to the .wmv file as though it were a regular image in the inspector.
    Or was there something special you wanted to do?

  • Windows Media Player not working in Firefox 7

    This pertains to a beta Internet radio page at http://www.radiofreeneptune.com/ with Windows Media Player embedded in the page.
    Prior to Forefox 7, browsing the page with Firefox had the correct media player interface appear (black, with blue buttons) as soon as the page loaded. Clicking on Play caused the music to play.
    Having updated to Firefox 7, Firefox stops working for about a minute when the page is first accessed (it appears to be buffering a lot of audio). A crude Media Player interface finally appears. Audio starts playing immediately, even though the embedded control has it AutoStart set to false.
    FireFox has the Microsoft Windows Media Player for Firefox 1.0.0.8 installed.
    Any idea what might be causing this?
    Thanks.
    Jack

    Try to remove the old (Npdsplay dll in the plugins list) WMP plugin in case that is used.
    The embed for Firefox has autostart="1" not not autostart=false (0) like the object for IE.

  • Web page music loads in IE but not Firefox. Have downloaded Windows Media Player Firefox plug in but still nothing. Any other suggestions?

    Can't get any sound when I open one webpage in Firefox but sound works in Internet Explorer. sound files are .wmv and mp3 format.
    I have Windows Media Player Firefox Plug in installed and set to always activiate. Also have Quicktime & Shockwave activated. Any suggestions. Operating system is Windows 7. Thanks

    There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
    To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
    Select the following long line of code and copy it:
    function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
    When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
    Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
    Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

  • My company web site said I don't have windows media player or Acrobat Reader. If I use IE It lets me in. What do I do?

    My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

    There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
    You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

  • VIewing web-sites that have windows media player action

    Some web-sites I visit give me the message " Safari Can't Display Content on This Page Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?"
    I have windows media player on my computer. How do I get the media player to allow me to view these pages?

    Video plays for me on the site you posted.
    As I suggested, install the Flip4Mac plug-in. After installing, open the preference file via System Preferences>Flip4Mac. On the Plug-in panel, 1st and 3rd boxes are checked. On the Movies panel, 1st box is checked.
    Just in case, go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions" via the First Aid panel (click on your HD on the left of the window, "repair permissions" will appear on the right. Restart the computer. Try the video in Safari.

  • WEB PAGE says I need Windows media player 11 plugin. Have ver. 12 on computer. Is this not a backward step?

    In order to see media on several web pages, it says I need to download plugin Windows media player v. 11. Windows 7 on computer has Windows media player 12. Is this going backwards or or these 2 separate things, i.e. program vs plugin?
    Thanks, Sara

    The plugin should work with WMP 12 as well.

  • Windows Media Player 12 under Win 7 Pro 64 nolonger able to play DVD

    Hello TechNet
    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card.  Try installing an updated driver for your video card." 
    It seems that I have recently joined the chorus of MS users who have a Media Player DRM issue, where DVD's that would work perfectly well in WMP12 and MCE are nolonger being recognised. The error message above is displayed now, every time a commercial DVD
    movie is inserted into the DVD drive where WIN 7 Pro 64 autoplay is used to open WMP12, The instruction to update video drivers is also not the solution.
    Considering that I have until recently, been able to play DVD with my current NVIDIA driver 314.22Whql (now updated to 332.21Whql) and my DVD drive remains exactly as before, the Codec's installed with Win7 Pro 64 WMP 12 are unchanged and were working
    fine. I do not know now what has caused the removal of DRM or the suggestion that my MPEG2 codecs can nolonger allow access to  commercial DVD content.
    I have tried all the suggestions raised about this issue from other MS users and MPV's in the forum, I have renamed the DRM folder and reset Windows Media DRM as directed. I have checked for a suitable MPEG2 codec/decoder on my system of which I have
    several choices, including the one installed with Win 7 Pro 64 / WMP 12.
    I have checked to see if I have a region issue with my DVD drive, and can confirm that the DVD drive will play DVD content when Playing DVD with "NERO 9 Showtime", this proves to me that the codec/DVD decoder is working in
    my system, I then try Win 7s MCE (Media Center) and WMP12, the result is a black unresponsive screen in MCE, and the error message noted above in WMP with a black screen in the player.   
    I would like to know if MS are working on a rectification for the issue, as none of the proposed solutions deliver any functionality back to MS default DVD players. Is there an update in the works to provide a definitive solution for WMP12 and MCE DVD functionality.
    Could you provide any new ideas, other than those already proposed to regain DVD function under MS default DVD programs.
    Cheers Jeff

    Hi Sengupta,
    Yes I have already tried - Reset DRM using the method described in a post by another MS MPV here in the forum.
    This is the method I used :
    1. First open My Computer go to Tools>FolderOptions>View> uncheck >Hide Protected Operating System Files >
    so that I can see the DRM folder and its contents.
    2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM  >Delete the contents of the DRM folder, these hidden files and the Cache folder with its contents. (Cache,
    blackbox.bin, drmstore.hds, IndivBox.key,
    IndivBox_64.key, v2ksndv.bla, v3ks.bla,
    v3ks.sec) DRM folder empty ready for DRM Reset via web link.
    3. Go to start menu Find InternetExplorer > right Click icon select > Run as Administrator > Blank Web page opens > I then paste the link provided (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp)
    into the Url space > click Enter > a web page for Windows Media Technologies (Security Component Upgrade) opens.
    4. I then click on the 'Upgrade Button' and wait for it to search for upgrade components (Progress Status: Upgrading security components.... ), A download dialog then appears asking me to proceed. I then click 'Upgrade' and wait for it to
    finish downloading & installation
    (Progress Bar). . The install then completes saying the upgrade was successful I then click 'Done' close Browser and restart Computer.
    5. I then recheck inside the DRM folder that I had erased - the new downloaded files and Cache Folder with contents are all back inside the folder, as expected. 
    6. Upon restart I place a DVD that I know was working before into the DVD drive and wait, the DVD autostarts WMP12 with the onscreen DVD Disk navigation menu appearing. I then click 'Play' with in the menu option, to begin the
    Movie.
    7. The resulting error reappears when clicking Play
    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder,
    and video card.  Try installing an updated driver for your video card." 
    I will try once more to Reset the DRM using the Tool you have linked to, and follow your instruction exactly. Will see how it goes!  ............stay tuned
    It would be much appreciated If you could research  which MS update has broken DRM, the recent updates which I can think of right now would be :
    nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
    now replaced by Nvidia v332.21Whql Drivers. 
    Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems
    Possibly,
    Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 64bit ( which I have had to remove, rolling back to IE10 to allow use in another Forum without errors and glitches). something about IE11 Browser is not right, maybe a security component from IE11
    has interfered with DRM (Just guessing though)
    But I think it is more than likely a security update that was downloaded and installed at the same time as these other major Microsoft Update offerings.
    Cheers Jeff

  • Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

    I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
    Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
    solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
    Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
    Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
    I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • Windows Media Player plug-in issues - Safari 4.0.5 on Windows 7

    Hi guys,
    I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 and of course the page to chose a browser popped up. Glad to see my beloved Safari browser to be available I installed it. Of course not all was running smoothly but after the 'mandatory' flash, Windows Media Player and QuickTime plug in I assumed all media content should run perfect in Safari.
    Unfortunately not for WMV files. I get the 'Safari can't find the internetplugin, MIME-type application/x-mplayer2'error message.
    I looked the issue up on the web of course and found out the trouble that Safari had with WMV streaming. What struck me is that this is a Mac only problem I believe (Flip4Mac solution). As I am running Windows 7 I was quite sure that Safari should be able to stream and play WMV files in the browser.
    So I removed and installed the Windows Media Player plug-in again (http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html) but to no avail. I then removed Safari and installed it again, still same problem. I tried the Fire-Fox plug in, no solution.
    It really drives me nuts to open IE8 only to play some WMV files in the browser. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.
    Strange thing I noticed: I can't see how I can manage my plug-ins. There seems to be no tab for it in the Safari settings and in the program-files folder I can only find Java.
    Thank you so much for your time and effort.

    I looked up the internet but can't find anything on this. As no replies here too I guess I'm the only one. The other thing that struck me is the enormous CPU usage when playing flash in the browser. Up to 95%-100% cpu usage when playing HD flash content. First I assumed it was a Flash issue but Internet Explorer never used more then 35%-55%. I then assumed it was just Flash in Safari. Strange thing is, if I maximize the window the cpu load actually drops to 55%. I only get high cpu usage when flash is played in the Safari window. I guess that means it's something to do with the browser and not an isolated flash 'bug'.
    Also still no luck playing WMV in the browser itself. Maybe time to look for yet another browser. A shame as I like the Safari browser a lot. MobileMe and iPhone are great to sync bookmarks and the look and feel is great. The engine is not so good unfortunately.

  • Windows Media Player for MAc and other issues

    I just bought a mac a week ago.
    Decided to do the switch since the person at the store told me I could use the win XP interface. Anyway after installing the win xp, i realised my laptop doesnt not recognise the drivers.I got no sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
    Since I need to listen to some online lecture recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player for mac ..it still doesnt work...
    I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just getting on my nerves....
    can someone please guide me or do you have any similar problem?
    Thanks

    sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service
    pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
    Yes the service pack is an issue if you're using Boot Camp to run XP. If you don't have SP2, you can try running Parallels Desktop (http://www.Parallels.com) which doesn't require SP2.
    Since I need to listen to some online lecture
    recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use
    it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept
    telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above
    and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows
    Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player
    for mac ..it still doesnt work...
    Some streaming media sites are not compatible with Mac OS X. Are these online lectures for school? I would simply ask the person running the class to help you get support. They can tell you pretty quickly if it's possible to listen with a Mac. If it's not, you should be able to do it from XP with either Parallels or Boot Camp (provided you have an SP2 version of XP).
    I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a
    macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just
    getting on my nerves....
    There are times that using a Mac (with 5% market share) is frustrating because many websites don't follow standards properly. If the web designers blow it off and only support Windows, 95% of the users are still happy and don't complain. That's lazy and infuriating but it happens quite a lot. There's even a name for it: Mac Marginalization.
    So you will run into this from time to time. The best solution on the Macbook is to get one of the Windows environments up and running properly. But you should still complain LOUDLY to the people who set up the bad website. The only way this will change is if users let lazy site administrators know that they are MAD about it.

  • How do I find plugin for Windows Media Player in MacPro

    In my previous PowerBook G4 I have been able to access TV newscasts from Europe, in streaming video, especially from Channel France 2. To do this, I have used Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9 for MacOS X, which comes with an asx plugin and it works fine. When I installed WMP in my new MacPro, the plugin was not installed. I queried Microsoft on how to solve this problem and I was informed that Microsoft no longer supports WMP 9 for the Mac and has no plans to upgrade it. Consequently, my alternative could be found in Windows Media Player components for Quicktime by Flip4Mac. This plugin allows you to play Windows Media Player files in the Quiktime player directly. I went to the FlipMac web site and downloaded it only to discover that the existing version will work only for G4s, not Intel Duo Macs.
    Microsoft's media player 9 for the Mac is being used internationally for streaming video.
    Does anyone know of an alternative plugin that would work and where do I find it?

    There is flip for mac and VLC
    http://www.videolan.org
    Give this web site a look see.
    Your solution makes sense. But when I downloaded and installed VLC Media Player for Macintosh, I found that one needs to have a developer's experience to figure out how to make it work. It isn't as simple as Windows Media Player 9 which works easily after you determine Preferences. Video streaming from news outlets is instant. Instructions from videolan on how to use its media player are confusing. Is there a simple way or easy steps to set up VLC to play streaming video from network news outlets with player embedded in their web site? That's all I am interested in. Your thoughts will be much appreciated.
