Pages to component to create Media Player Flip

Hi Everyone...
I'm creating my portfolio using Catalyst and have a question. I have buttons (thumbnail of art work) that when rolled over, shows a larger image in a central location. In another project I created a media player to play each media types (For example...Video...Illustrations) Below is a link to my video player. I did this using Pages...Check it out.
http://www.thankyoumrchurchill.com/myport/run-local/Main.html
Knowing that now, once a thumbnail is clicked. That page will flip over and on the other side will be that media player of that category. I figured out how to flip images over to show the other side. My question is...can I import that media player project as a component to be on the other side of the page? Make sense? Or I'm running up the wrong tree?
thanks....

I'm a little confused by what you mean when you say "flip over" because Flash Catalyst comes with a 3D transition that "flips". I looked at your example that you said you made in pages - from this example, I'm only seeing one Flash Catalyst State/Page.
And when you say Media Player project, do you mean the individual video you want to play? Or are you trying to import the entire Project, as it is, on your example to one state of your FC project?

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.

Any known issues using Windows Media Player?

There are some websites I visit on a regular basis, but for better viewing they require Windows Media Player
(this is the warning: "....has content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2, but you dont have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:....")
To Download or not to Download, that's my dilemma.
Any advise is appreciated.

Hi Mildred -
If you are simply wondering about whether you should download and install Windows Media Player, then go ahead. It's very useful to have. Just be sure that you are downloading from a trusted source. If you have already downloaded and installed WMP but the Windows Media Plugin wasn't installed, then you should probably reinstall WMP. If you have downloaded and installed WMP and you have the Windows Media Plugin installed but you are unable to watch certain content, it may be because the Mac version of WMP doesn't support certain file-types.
I would just add that while application/x-mplayer2 is a component of Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Plugin in my Installed Plug-ins list (Safari > Help > Installed Plug-ins) doesn't assign any extensions to that MIME type. This leads me to believe that the Mac version of WMP may not support the file types associated with the MIME type, application/x-mplayer2.

Embed a media player in netbeans IDE

Hi guys!
I'm pretty new to development in Java, right now I'm using netbeans as the IDE to development a P2P file sharing program for my school project. One of the module is to embed a media player that can playback the media files shared by the program. My group choosed to use VLC. The targeted machine to run is on a Windows XP. If the program can compile and run on Linux, that would be a plus.
Now, having searched the web on how to embed a player, I am utterly confused and lost.. Can anyone suggest some tutorials on how to embed a media player, or even an alternate player that's easily implementable in netbeans?
JJ

When you click on the play video buttons, the rest of the page turns cloudy and the media player pops out.
Modal window, Highslide, Lightbox, Floatbox, Litebox, Colorbox... There are about a hundred different versions of the same thing.
Also what movies files can I play??
Andy,
That depends on your target audience. If you need to support laptops/desktops and smartphones -- Droid, Berries, iPhone, iPads, etc... may may need to offer visitors more than one flavor to choose from.

It is impossible to use 10.4, Safari and Windows Media Player

it is impossible to use safari to access a site with streaming video without having your mac freeze, i found the only combo i use to freeze everytime, first i install windows media 9, then i go to myspace.com using the safari browser, then i acess a page of someone who has a streaming video file such as a music file, then my safari locks up and freezes. This happens every, single, time. I know its not a fluke and i know i didnt do anything wrong and i enjoy myspace so there is no way that i can have media player and it ****** me off so i want to know if there are any alternatives or if my mac is just a piece of crap and messed up. without the media player i have to deal with a pop up everytime i access someones page telling me to download media player even though it doesnt work so thats kinda hilarious. k someone help me out

I know nothing about all this stuff but for kicks I went to the site you said and when I play a normal music file it works fine in safari. It does load slowley. When I tried to view a music video it says you have to have "windows media 9" and you must use "internet explorer". Have you tried using your internet explorer in your applications folder instead of safari? I still could not get the videos to work but I have had this problem befor. Sometimes if you keep messing with the settings in the network tab of the media player it eventually works. But the site itself looks like they have a little ways to go and just might not be ready for mac yet. If you don't get this fixed I can try the site on my pc at work tomorrow and see if that works, unless you have already tried this. But bottom line with safari is its not compatable. At least what their site states.

Media player and processor time

I have several computers..when they are running slow I go to task man. and find windows media player is taking my processor time and i'm not using it..this is happening with windows7 and windows8.i can halt rutine system speeds up..then wmp restarts in task..why
is wmp doing anything when I am not using..what can be do to halt the process..the name of the file is wmpnetwk.exe
this file never stops in the processing window..cllifton

Hi，
wmpnetwk.exe is a component of Windows Media Player that used to share media between differnet devices.
It might happen when you share large media files to other devices while the connection is slow, or your PC is trying to look for another device while it is not exist and it insist looking for it or just some media files are corrupted during the sharing process.
So you can turn off the media streaming or disable Windows Media Player Netwprk Sharing in services (run "services.msc", scroll down to this service, set it to disabled), check the result again.
Check if you have some corrupted files exist the media library.

IFrames, Microsoft Media Player, JavaScript

We have a Flex App where an I-Frame loads a secondary HTML
page with an embedded MS Media Player object. It is extremely
important that we be able to use JavaScript commands to control the
MS Media Player.
The MediaPlayer object has an ID of MediaPlayer. We want to
be able to issue JS commands to do the following:
function getPlayheadTime() {
document.MediaPlayer.control.pause();
var cp = document.MediaPLayer.control.currentPosition();
document.MediaPlayer.control.play();
The problem - specifically the browser doesnt appear to see
the DOM for the media player when it is playing in the I-Frame. It
just isnt there at all. Even Firebug appears blank. So we can't
seem to get the handle to MediaPlayer whenter we issue a handle as
MediaPlayer.somecommand or MediaPlayer.control.somecommand.
Is it the fact that the I-Frame in Flex is somehow not seeing
the document components? Its very strang.
PS The page and JS works file when we run it just as a script
in an HTML (i.e. no IFrame).

You can try uninstalling procedures described here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/installation.mspx#q2_3

Windows stream media player

hey - i'm developing a new joomla based site and i'd like to
have a custom flash media player embedded into the page that uses
the windows media player functions if possible, or easier that way.
my goal is to put a simple player on the page and the real
focus would be a "graphic equalizer" that would match the color
scheme and look like a part of the site. below that simple buttons
that would have start/stop/pause and volume. if i could "detach"
this player from the page that would be an added bonus. if i did
that then i'd also want current song title playing to stream
through as well.
how hard is this to do in flash? i have NO history of flash
development but can figure things out if given some good pointers.
would the EQ part be difficult to bounce to the music? change the
imagry to be other things as well other than the standard bar eq?
if it would be more difficult is there a good place to post
to ask for some dev help on this?
thanks in advance!

I'm wondering if you received a reply. Neither the Windows Media Player in Internet Explorer nor Safari will give me a live feed for more than 30 seconds to 1 minute and will then freeze. "Refreshing" the page doesn't provide a "live" response.

Microsoft Media Player

I have successfully put a web page up with text photos and video... however folks with windows pc's can't watch the quicktime movies.
I have flip4 mac and have tried to compress and publish the video in several formats mpeg4, avi, wmv, etc. still won't play on a plain pc with windows media player. They are corporate computers and are not allowed to install Quicktime.
Plays great on a mac or pc with quicktime installed.
I need advice on what file format to publish video that will play on Windows Media Players.
thanks
Using final cut pro to edit footage.

WMV = Windows Media Video.
[Here are some pages|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/iFrame] that display all the video formats.
You can look at the source of each page. Or download the object code to embed WMV in your pages.
And since Windows Media Player is a Microsoft product look [here|http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/playing_files.ms px] for more info. There's probably more to find.
Lastly, I don't think the problem has anything to do with iWeb.

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.

Creating a Media Player

I would like to create a media player for a handheld device i.e. Cell Phone that plays Movie files, to create this application i am going to use the J2ME.
Could anyone point me in the right directions to get started?
Would it be possible to play the movie clip from a server such as Apache or Realnetworks using a .3gp file, from the application i intend to create within an emulator. (I realise there maybe limitations with emulators but this does not matter).
Would i use MIDP to create the Player app?
I'd be gratefull of some usefull areas to get me going and what i can and cant do.

Adding a Quicktime Media Player to a page that can play from a list of links

I'm on a Mac G4 window front tower running OS X 10.4.11. I am using Adobe GoLive 7.2. and Quicktime player 7.6. The project I am involved in entails linking a group of Quicktime movies to a Quicktime media player on the same page. I can handle the linking, but HOW DO I GET THE QT MEDIA PLAYER ON THE PAGE?
Please help.

Yes, it is doable. This page has some pics that will help.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+Power+Mac+G4+Quicksilver+Hard+Drive/2079/1
The second drive will sit on top of the first one.
The jumpers have to be set on both drives for "cable select". Each drive has a diagram to show how the jumpers are arranged.
You need four screws to hold it in place.
The ribbon cable has two connectors, one for each.
The four pin power cable has to be connected to each drive.
When you boot, the Mac will mount both drives. You can erase the new one and proceed from there.

Lost Media Player and Flip 4 Mac

Hey there,
I installed Flip 4 Mac and now I can't watch streaming video content that requires WIndows Media Player. Flip 4 Mac popped up but would not play the footage. I still have Media Player installed. I uninstalled Flip 4 Mac but I still can't watch my surf news from ASP World Tour events.
How can I reverse the situation and get Media Player as my default streamer?

If your source file is in WMP format or your export option is to WMP formats then you are working using the "trial mode" of the Flip4Mac software.
You must purchase one of the upgrades to that third party software to complete your task.
