Hello friends,

I've embed a WMP video object into a web page; this video doesn't show
controls and it run fine in IE-WIN.

The problems are:
* IE-MAC can't show the video.
* Netscape Navigator shows the video but display the video controls.

I'd to know if it's inevitable or there is a solution.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Nicolas

Ok Neil, this is my code:

<object id="Video" name="Video"
classid="clsid:6bf52a52-394a-11d3-b153-00c04f79faa6"
type="video/x-ms-wma" width="400" height="300"
data="videos/uno.wmv">
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="stretchtofit" value="true" />
<param name="url" value="videos/uno.wmv" />
<param name="uimode" value="none" />
<param name="windowlessvideo" value="true" />

<embed src="videos/uno.wmv"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/download/default.asp"
width="400"
height="300"
autostart="true"
showcontrols="false"

OK it looks good enough ;-)

I'll take a look tonight and see if I can find the problem. I notice 2
things which might be worth trying :

1) You specified type="video/x-ms-wma" but used a URL to a video.wmv
Does it work at all if you specify type="video/x-ms-wmv" ? It
shouldn't make a difference, but WMP/Mac is a bit "odd".

2) I can see you have used relative paths : "videos/uno.wmv"
Does anything change if you use "http://myserver.com/videos/uno.wmv" ?

Note also the readme for Media Player 7 on Mac (you should be on v9)
reads "If you install Internet Explorer 5 after you have installed the
Player, you should run Windows Media Player Setup again. This will add
the Windows Media plug-in to the browser so you can play Windows
Media-based content that is embedded in Web pages."

Speak to you soon
Cheers - Neil

Ok Neal,
I've done the changes you said but don't want to run in Mac.

My big problem is how to hide the controls in the embed videoweb on
Nestcape.

Thanks you very much for your insterests about the issue.

Nicolas

Instead of using "True" and "False", use "1" and "0". Firefox doesn't
seem to understand "True" and "False" statements. This code works with
WMP10 for me in both Firefox 1.0.6 and IE6...

<DIV ID="divWMP2" style="visibility:visible;">
<object ID="WMP2" data="http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.wmv"
type="video/x-ms-wmv" width="320" height="320"
style="visibility:visible;">
<param name="enableContextMenu" VALUE="0" />
<param name="windowlessvideo" value="1" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="0" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="1" />
</object>
</DIV>
