Hi,

I want to add video to an html page. It works fine on my Vista machine both in Explorer and Firefox but when trying it on a machine running on XP the video doesn't start. I am using the following script (recommended by "Total training"). Can you see anything wrong with it?

 

<div id="media" style="height: 197px"><OBJECT id='mediaPlayer'

width="300" height="240"

classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'

codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'

standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...'

type='application/x-oleobject'>

 

<param name='fileName' value="http://volvop1800club.se/video/Volvo1972.wmv">'>http://volvop1800club.se/video/Volvo1972.wmv">

<param name='autoStart' value="true">

<param name='showControls' value="true">

<param name='loop' value="false">

<param name="AutoRewind" value="true">

 

 

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"

id="MediaPlayer"

width=300 height=240

pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/"

src="http://volvop1800club.se/video/Volvo1972.wmv"

filename="Volvo1972.wmv"

autostart="true"

showcontrols="true"

autorewind="true"

loop="false">

</embed>

 

</OBJECT>

</div>

 

Many thanks

Karl

Or maybe someone with a pc running on xp could try this link to help me find out if the problem is only with my machine. http://www.volvop1800club.se/multimedia_test.html

Do you have flash? if you do import the movie to to flash and its easier to upload. Also you tube... add the movie clip here and then copy the code they give you.

 

Have you also checked with your web host that the file type is supported and you can stream mp3, wav files etc....
