Video software on my site, hosted on my hosting?

Phizinza · 01-04-2009, 10:11 PM

I want to add some videos to my site. I am willing to pay a little, but not anything over say $30. I want it so I either can use the software to make the videos I have compatible or I want a player that can play WMV's and AVI's. Preferably I would like it so the user visiting my site doesn't have to download any plugins to watch the video. Obviously everything needs plugins, but lets just say if it uses the same plugin YouTube or other popular video sites requires that would be fine.

Anyone know any good software I can use to obtain this? I can't use SSH on my hosting, so it must not require that to install any other software to the server.

Thanks

add this code to your page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Embedded Windows Media Player 7 Control</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<OBJECT ID="Player" width="320" height="240"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">
<PARAM name="URL" value=http://WebServer/MyFile.wmv">
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks, but that doesn't work in Firefox at all and refuses to load the videos either AVI (divx) or WMV in IE7

Step One
use this java script between body tags on your page:

<script language="JavaScript" src="wmpCodeGen.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
playMedia("your_video_file.wmv",1,250,250)
</script>

Step Two
copy and past below code to a notepad and save your file with this name,format "wmpCodeGen.js" and upload your files to your server:

One query though... Any chance of getting the player to show a preview picture of the video while it is loading?

unfortunately, you haven't a chance to get preview picture for a wmv automatically. there isn't in wmv players structure.
you can set it manually for a file.

Hi again...

Just wondering how would I get this to work with a new window. Say I have an image, whne you click that image it uses a java script much like those websites with images to open the video in a basic new window that is sized appropriately?

Lucky Links · 04-10-2009, 11:13 PM

Hi
you need this java code for your purpose. add code between your <body> , </body> tag:

<a href="#"><img src="Your Image Path.jpg" width="120" height="80" border="0" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.google.com','your_page_name','width=300,height =200')" /></a>

Description
img src="Your Image Path.jpg" width="120" height="80" => Your Image Size

('http://www.your_target_page.com','your_page_name','width= 300,height=200') => Your target page with size that you like

I hope this help

I can get that to open an image in a new window, but how to make it open a window with the embedded player?

Sorry about all this, I just want more then what I know how to do all the time.
