Media Player with control buttons inc. full screen

Hi
I am trying to add a media player on an html page - insert > media > flash, file.swf.
This looks good when uploaded, but I'd like to have the control buttons show up, (ie. stop, replay, backwards, forwards, full screen)
The video also looks to be 54 minutes long, I suppose it is as the 2 minute video continually repeats. Can this be changed too?
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Just in case someone else is looking for the same fix and me, here is how it was solved;

pls help me with another code to run my swf with player.....and i had attached my swf and player pls help me frds........

Make your code agree with your file's setup. If the file you provided for viewing is the file that the code is not working with, it is understandable since the code does not reflect the elements of that file. Especially since there is no such code in that file, but also because if the code you showed was in that file, it does not target objects properly... mostly due to the lack of an object named playerSwf that your code uses to target all the objects thru.

How To Make Screen Controls Disappear In Full Screen Mode?

I downloaded Quicktime 7.2 and even though I have selected Edit/Preferences/Player Preferences/Full Screen and under Controls, Display Full Controls, Hide after 2 seconds -
When I am watching a video in full screen mode, for example the latest Keynote Address by Steve Jobs, the control panel which accesses Stop/Pause/Fast Forward etc., does not disappear regardless of how long I wait. Additionally the mouse pointer does not disappear either.
I have to move the mouse pointer off the screen and/or move the Control Panel all the way down out of the way for it not to be visible.
If I Deselect the "Display Full Screen Controls", then of course the controls do not appear, however the mouse still stays on the screen in full screen mode.
How do I correct this. The Windows Media Player functions perfectly when I watch movies in full screen - controls disappear and so does the mouse. If I move the mouse, they reappear then disappear again after a few seconds.
Any advice in correcting this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, this is annoying, however I'm glad you 2 guys finally posted. This is what I've found out so far. If you delete the .plst file (do a search for for it), it appear that it will be recreated again by Quicktime. That cured the problem with the Control Panel disappearing after the preset time set in preferences. However, the pointer will not disappear. I tried to uninstal and reinstall and also view different movies, but it will not disappear.
So give that a shot and see if that resolves 50% of the problem. In Media Player, the control panel and pointer disappear in Full Screen mode. In Quicktime there seems to be a quirk. I've searched on this forum, but have not been able to find any other threads that indicatd a resolution to this issue. So let's hope that someone does or that Apple figures out the problem and issues an updated version for this.
There was a new update that I received over the past few days and I was hoping this would resolve this issue, but it didn't.
I've also read here that going to Windows Safe Mode and activating QT, watching a movie, then going back to normal mode fixes some issues. I've tried that too, but the pointer just will not disappear.
I've tried disabling the Control Panel and then it won't appear at all, but the mouse pointer always does and the only way is to move it physically off the screen. When you move it the Control Panel will appear for a few seconds, then disappear again.
Try these things out and comment on what you discover.

MISSION CONTROL, LAUNCHPAD, and FULL SCREEN APPS (one month later)

I'm pretty good embracing a new thing when it comes along. I downloaded LION the day it come out, which was over a month ago at this point. On that day, I immediately found MISSION CONTROL and LAUNCHPAD both uninituitve and pointless. Unhandy iCandy. And of FULL SCREEN APPS? Not necessary on an iMac anyway.
So I quickly sought out quick solutions to 'fix' these new features. Launchpad and full screen apps have the advantage that they can be simply ignored. This is a good thing. Mission Control, on the other hand, got in the way of a beloved feature for me: what was once SPACES and EXPOSE. That is, I couldn't simply ignore MC because I still needed the previous helpful features in Snow Leopard.
My solution was kind of surprising and eye-opening. It's complicated to explain but I thought I'd share. This conclusion is likely best suited for someone not using a small screened Mac. It turns out that most users (with big enough screens) don't really need Mission Control, Launchpad, Spaces, or Full Screen apps.
At all.
Let's go through that conclusion, one by one:
FULL SCREEN APPS
If you have a relatively big screen (20 iMac for instance), why do you need Safari full screen? Unless you intend to sit across the room from the computer, no reason. And there's lots of bright empty space when you do this. Do you need the Mail app full screen? If you need reading glasses, maybe, but otherwise, nope. I find it's easier just to stretch out an app pretty big and leave it at that.
Full screen apps DO offer a nice feature which is making your desktop, menubar, and dock go BYE BYE. I can see where sometimes this is a useful feature, but typically -- NOPE. Typically I want access to my dock (to switch between open apps without the added step of cancelling full screen first), and typically I want access to my menubar so that I can glance up and see what time it is or find an app menu quickly.
The only feature I find worthy of praise with full screen apps is that they hide the clutter on your desktop. But there's an app in the Mac App Store which makes your desktop icons vanish with the touch of a button (CAMOUFLAGE). I mean, what's the point of a wallpaper if you bury it with desktop clutter or eliminate it with full screen apps? If it's a busy and distracting wallpaper, umm... you picked bad wallpaper.
LAUNCH PAD
LAUNCH PAD offers an iOS experience inside OS X. At first I thought it was completely silly. After a month now, I kinda get why it's there. Kinda.
You see, before LP, to duplicate it's functionality, you'd have to organize folders yourself. Put folders of various apps together. Place them somewhere in the finder heirarchy. Then drag those folders into the part of the dock with the trashcan. Then you could click them open and have access to similarly themed folders of apps. The problem here, of course, is that unless you're a power user, you'll never do this.
So Apple thought, AH-HA, we'll just drag into OS X a paradigm that users already get from iOS. Clumping apps together any way you like them. The misfire, if you ask me, is not allowing users to drag the new iOS folders straight into the dock when finished. That is to say: copies of said organized folders. It's as if Apple's software people have complete contempt for the dock -- and are desperate to have users abandon it.
My problem is that I like having folders in my dock of stuff I need. It just works, as Steve says. Going to the same EXACT place every time I need anything is more intuitive and graceful than ADDING an app called Launchpad that launches you into a different finder altogether. Makes zero sense and THIS is why I say, like FULL SCREEN APPS, LP can basically be abandoned.
By the way: need proof that Apple has complete contempt for the Dock?
MISSION CONTROL/SPACES
A month has passed since MC was introduced and SPACES was eliminated. I dare anyone to tell me why either is needed at all. Before you get iMiffed, humor me for a moment and hear me out.
The notion of SPACES was that it's a neat way to keep like minded open apps together. I totally bought into this, back in the day. So much so that I was iMiffed when it was gone in Lion. But let's look at this closer.
The REASON why we needed SPACES was that we could have WAY too many windows open at once on a Mac. Right? A big mess of windows covering each other up. Suppose you're surfing in Safari but need iTunes? But iTunes is hidden. So what did you do? You went to Spaces as step one, moused over to your iTunes space as move two, and then clicked it as move three. Seems like a great solution until the day you discover that you could simply click on iTunes in the dock as move one and arrive at iTunes. As one step. Period. Really simple, right?
Why have Spaces and apps dance around when you can just click the app you want and be done with it? That's the critical observation to make in order to follow my entire line of reasoning. Sure, it may look really cool and make Windows machines look like junk, but at the end of the day, why add two steps to something you might do 100 times a day -- switching between apps.
So why OH why did Apple add Spaces? Simple: because too many apps were visible at once in one 'desktop' window. So if you can build many new desktops, there might only be one or two in each. Great solution. Right?
Wrong, as it turns out. Because we still have the two extra steps. It's a weak solution. And it's in complete contempt of the Dock, which as it turns out, offers the strongest solution.
The strong solution would be that only one app is visible in your Mac's window at all times. Say you're in Safari. Despite having 12 other apps open, you only see Safari. Your dock tells you that you have other apps open, but nothing else sits in your window BUT the app you're using. So you want to go to iTunes? So click on it in the dock and Safari vanishes and iTunes emerges by itself. No other windows. What could be simpler? (This app is freeware known as ISOLATOR.)
If you download and try ISOLATOR, you'll say, umm, okay, but wait: sometimes I do want more than one window in view. Okay, fine, turn it off then. From the handy menu bar menu. I find that 98% of the time I need ISOLATOR on. Mileage may vary.
So let's recap. One third party software removes distracting desktop clutter, the other removes distracting app windows. Both can be toggled on and off from the menu bar. One is free, one costs $2. These two solutions remove the only real feature of FULL SCREEN APPS and make SPACES and it's newfangled cousin MISSION CONTROL pointless.
Need that last one explained? Well, what's Mission Control but a variant of spaces? To invoke MC and switch to the needed window are those same two annoying steps Spaces added into the mix. Nothing was fixed. Plus, like spaces, you must invest time and energy organizing such spaces.
Why bother? And so I ask again: can somebody who's read and tried the above carefully explain to me why Mission Control, Launchpad, and Full Screen Apps are really needed at all? (Outside of small screened Macs.) Doesn't the dock and these two sharewares together solve most problems?
Am I missing something?

I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

Strobe media player with aspnet

I want to use strobe media player with my aspnet application. Can I access it on server side. I want to read one video at one time and display using strobe media player. Also I want to control current position of the video from server side. Truly it feels like I want to use Strobe media player as Windows media player in visual studio. Can anyone has some idea..please.

You can control SMP via JavaScript, so if your app can dynamically write values to the JavaScript used in the app, then you should be fine.

How can I use Microsoft Media Player with my new iPod Nano?

I do not like the iTunes player. I want to use the Microsoft Media Player with my iPod Nano. I dislike the iTunes player so much that if I don't get this resolved I will have to return the iPod Nano.

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:

If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

Windows Media Player with 10.4.6

My first post here so I hope I do it right.
My question relates to using the Windows Media Player with the new Operating System. I just upgraded from v.10.2 to 10.4. Once I upgraded I was no longer able to open any files in Windows Media player. I figure,no big deal, I just need to upgrade my Media Player. I downloaded Windows Media 9 Player for Mac. Installed no problem but when I try to open I get the message "The application Windows Media Player closed unexpectedly". I then downloaded and installed Flip4Mac as well, but I got the same error messsage.
Am I just missing something obvious?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Flagg
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Both work here without any problem. I suspect a bad installation. Start over by first deleting these from ~/Library/Preferences/: com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist, Windows Media Favorites, Windows Media Player Prefs; these from /Library/Internet Plug-ins/: /Disabled Plug-ins/Windows Media Plugin, Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin, and Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin; and the Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane from /Library/Preference Panes/Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane, restarting, repairing permissions, reinstalling WMP and see if it launches. If so, reinstall Flip4Mac and see if that launches. If you have any problems, report back.

Hello,
I am new here. Greeting to all of you!
I have tried a few android music players (Vlc, Google Music and Mort Audio Player) and I want to control (only start/stop) the player with the headset button. But the headset button only starts and stops the internal music player.
Is there a solution for my problem?
Thank you very much for your help!

Error with Windows Media Player ActiveX control

When I try to drop in a Windows Media Player control I get an error:
"Error loading type library/DLL"
Any ideas?

If upgrading is out of question. Like a budget stopping it. You could try to this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8002 That will allow you to run XP inside windows 7. It is also other media players like VLC and Apple quick time that have ActiveX controllers. I have tested the Quicktime version and it is quite good.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

SWF player with controls

am to making a SWF player on Flash CS3 (AS2 & AS3) for web with controls like Play, Pause, Forward, Rewind, Time, Seek bar etc.
This player will load external SWF and user can play them as other movie file play.
My Player screen size is 300X300Px. I have accomplished all necessary coding for the same and some of the SWF files are playing well but some of the SWF files are not playing well.
Here is the list of some major problem that I am facing form….
1.       Some SWF file does not shows scroll bar as they are bigger than my player screen.
2.       While pressing Pause button, some of the content/animation for the loaded SWF file are stop but some of them are still animating.
3.       Some SWF file does not show there background (especially color).
4.       Some of the SWF file does not show actual time/frame as some file shows correctly
I request to all you Flash developer to please suggest me any possible solution for the above said problems.

1. swf files are not designed to have/show scrollbars. That is something you will need to design into your player's functionality. If the content your player is showing is larger than the viewing area, you need to add scrollbars to your player.
2. Not everything in a Flash file animates on the main timeline... some elements can be movieclips that animate on their own... and some animations are done using only actionscript. You would need to know details of each element in the swf so that you could target things and command them as needed to make them stop playing... this is highly unlikely to be able to accomplish.
3. When you load an swf file into another swf file, it does not include the background it has as an independent file... the background of the main file is the only one used. Your loaded swfs will have to have background graphics drawn in.
4. If I understand what you are trying to explain, this is another case of the main file controlling the show. Whatever the main file's frame rate is, is the frame rate that all loaded swf files use.

I need to remove "minimize, maximize, close" buttons on full screen mode

I can remove all buttons (like refresh, back, forward, address bar, etc..) but the little right 3 buttons "minimize, maximize, close" i cant remove, how can i make with userChrome.css or other option.
Because i can close firefox exiting from fullscreen and clicking on archive menu with "Alt" key.
I dont wanna this little 3 buttons, that i can hide and show permanent.
I hope explain me correctly
Thanks a lot

Add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.

Flash player does not work in full screen

I am not able to get flash player. version 10, to work in full screen with firefox 3.6 on neither Mandriva 2010 or Ubuntu 10.10. I also do not have access to the settings. It is blacked out.

Sometimes disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash Player Settings helps with fullscreen poblems.
But since you cannot access the Settings, you need to fix that problem first. On Windows, this can often be fixed by deleting the 'Flash Player' folders in %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia. Unfortunately I do not know where these settings are kept on Linux.

Is it possible to change the size of the 'Close' button in Full Screen viewing mode?

I am currently using Firefox for a kiosk type scenario. We require that the browser run full screen. The issue is that the 'Close' button is not large enough for users to consistently see, so they're having issues figuring out how to close an active browser window.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change this icon? I've tried using themes, but they tend to theme everything but the close button.
Custom configuration details are below.
Firefox version: firefox-3.0.4-1.el5.centos
Customisations:
Access to local drives disabled:
Modified the contents of /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/chrome/browser.jar, so that browser.js has the added stanza:
<pre><nowiki>if (location.match(/^file:/) ||

Try code like this:

The three buttons have these IDs:

Embedded Windows Media PLayer With Non-Standard File Extension

I have embedded a windows media player in a asp.net web page, using the usual
<object> and <embed> tags. The video is served by an ashx (http handler). When I try to play the video, I usually (but not always) get an error message telling me that the file extension (ashx) does not match the file format.
This happens in IE (8, 9, 10, 11) and also in Firefox (latest) with the WMP plugin.
I know that the tags (with classid, etc) are correct because the media player displays and allows me to click the 'play' button.
The ashx returns the correct mime type (video/x-ms-wmv) and a valid file name (somevideo.wmv) in the response headers. I have tried content-disposition attachment and inline.
I have tried urls using 'http://', 'https://', and '//' (which I prefer)
If I put the url (including the .ashx) of the video file in the browser address bar directly, the video downloads and plays in the standalone media player.
If I modify the object tag to use a direct path to the video file (/somewhere/somevideo.wmv), it works - but I can't use this as a solution.
The same ashx serves up video and audio in various other formats with out any fuss - it just seems that the embedded windows media player doesn't like it.
This has been working for several years - I think this is some new behavior, though I can't identify what has changed, other than browser updates.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Am I missing something simple?
