Customise media player control with border and progress bar |
|
|
Hi
I am looking to put a media player in a HTML page. I am using the following
code to display the media player:
<OBJECT ID="mediaPlayer"
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="C:\movie.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
</OBJECT>
The page currently looks something like this:
http://www.blackwaterbadgers.co.uk/media_player_old.jpg
but I want it to look something like this:
http://www.blackwaterbadgers.co.uk/media_player_new.jpg
I assume I would first hide the controls but does anyone know how to overlay
an image so I could get the rounded border (the image would have a
transparent centre) and how would I approach implementing the progress bar?
Kind regards, Carl Gilbert

Use your original object code instead : I have absolutely no idea why
you took working code for media player 7 and above, and converted it
*back* to media player 6.4 which doesn't support the events and
controls you'll need to do this.
Please don't randomly change stuff or you're wasting our time.

We discussed this 2 days ago and I gave you a complete soluition.
Please don't waste my and others time by re-posting the same question.

I found you a slider control tutorial at google in about 2 minutes :
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~hofman/jsexp/explslider.html like this :
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=javascript+slider&btnG=Search&hl=en
Please don't waste our time by not doing the most basic of searches
before requesting help.
To answer your question, you need to feed it the ratio of
player.controls.currentPosition to player.currentMedia.duration on
let's say a 1 second setInterval using javascript, once the player has
been started. Trap for divide-by-zero errors.
You can find the complete documentation for windows media player at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/winmedia.asp
under the link "Windows media player SDK".

That doesn't work, as the "data" attribute is missing, the "classid" is
invalid and the such attributes like "codebase" and "standby" don't exist.
The param stuff is invalid, too. Can't you read the HTML specification? Try
it the correct way:
| <OBJECT ID="mediaPlayer"
| CLASSID="Wmplayer.Wmplayer"
| TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
| DATA="C:\movie.wmv">
| If you can read me, then the plugin is missing.
| </OBJECT>

Param stuff is perfectly valid : Ref W3C XHTML documentation

Really ? If this is correct, can you name a browser that it works in ?
I tried it in these browsers and saw the "plugin missing" default text
for the object :
IE6.0.2800
Netscape 4.73
Netscape 7.02
Opera 4.12
Opera 6.01
Opera 8.0
Firefox 1.03
And so if none of those "worked", how is the code "correct" ?
