Need Help Embedding Video Using two-step .WVX file

redblanchard · 06-24-2009, 11:17 AM

I have just joined, because it appears you can solve my dilemma. I am trying to embed a video file on my web site, using the two-step .WVX file.
I am hoping you can point out why I am getting this error message when I try to 'execute' the HTML:
"The playlist cannot be opened because it is stored in a shared folder on another computer. If possible, move the playlist to the playlists folder on your computer."
All files are in one directory.
Here is the actual HTML file I am trying to use:


<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
<tr><td>
<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="720" height="450"
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="Blind Kid Piano.wmv">
<param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
<param name='transparentatStart' value='false'>
<param name='autoStart' value="true">
<param name='showControls' value="true">
<param name='loop' value="false">
<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1'
bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1'
showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="720" height="450"
src="Blind Kid Piano.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="false">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</td></tr>

Thank you for your time, and I hope you can tell me what that error message is all about.

Hey red I just put a .flv player on my site sans-moi.com/discography.htm using this tutorial "for easy solution to add flash video to website - http://flash-video-player.blogspot.c...o-website.html"

I had to get a converter to get the files in the .flv format but its working. Sorry I know this doesn't answer your question directly but I thought I'd get you a reply if nothing else just to bump your thread and let you know people are listening.

Thanks for the answer, and I know many people advise using
flash on the web, but I find the windows media player gives a bigger picture, and it is easy to install various codecs to make Windows Media Player wqork with all the popular
formats.
The problem I am having is when I try to activate the two-step embedding process IO get this error message:
"The playlist cannot be opened because it is stored in a shared folder on another computer.
If possible, move the playlist to the playlists folder on your computer"

"on another computer" means that the player is on your website and your media files are in your PC at home?

btw, as a best practice, you should not have empty space in the movie's name:

Blind Kid Piano.wmv

should be something like:

Blind_Kid_Piano.wmv
