Embed full html pages/player with custom controls |
|
|
hello, i'm trying to build a custom website that is similiar to the
video section at msnbc.com. ie, a pop-up chromeless webpage with
- custom controls
- media window
- html banners/ads/links
- a 'now playing'
- an 'up next' playlist with images
can you point me to any example code that has already been written for
this, that i can then customize to my own purposes? i have the SDK,
but cannot seem to find an active example that does all the above.
i've played around with htmlview, but i do not want to pop-up windows
media player... i want to pop up a web page and have full control of
all of the design. thanks!

Well, htmlview is the wrong way roud as you've discovered. I'd be
happy to write all your code requirements at commercial rates, if you
find your coding skills aren't up to it.
Otherwise, you might want to look up on http://hotwired.com/webmonkey
for samples, there are several walkthroughs of embedded media in
various guises : NB Grab it while its hot, Lycos are closing the site
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/01/49/index2a.html?tw=multimedia
Popup chromeless windows are discussed in several pages on
http://www.irt.org under the javascript section, along with general
methods for creating popups with a range of properties. Chromeless is
a little tricky to do cross browser, but its all documented - a google
search wil get you there.
You could always rip the code from msnbc as a template and customise
it from there. All the properties and methods you need for scripting
the player are available in the SDK.
Banner ad services are generally a technique provided by 3rd parties,
you'd have to investigate the ad formats available along with the ad
rotation code, and add the script to your page. No big deal, might
even generate a small amount of revenue.
Playlists can be generated by supplying the player with an ASX file
instead of a static link, the ASX file then contains all the
properties for your playlist (image links, media links, duration and
order) as documented in the SDK. You can generate ASX files on the fly
from a database if required, this will require back-end programming of
the web server - I use PHP for this though JSP or ASP will work just
fine.
Cheers - Neil

Hi Niel.
Way to go maid!
Off course such a large job - as the one mentioned in this thread - must be
on commercial terms, as you pointed out. But what is rarely seen is, that
you at the same time give all the 'answers' and references, so 'raciere' has
a real choice.
Respect and applause from here!

Re: Embed full html pages/player with custom controls |

thanks neil for the post. by poking around in various places i've
since discovered a way to do everything i need... except for a
progress bar. any hints/leads on that one? i would be happy if the
progress element was even just some kind of timecode... really
*anything* that lets the viewer know where they are in the video... it
doesn't even have to be interactive or draggable... just some element
that lets them know where they are duration-wise.
pointers? thanks so much!
