how to attach video file

doggie750

did my search here and hoping for some directions or is it feasible? It's in wmv file mode.

I believe it has to be hosted somewhere such as YouTube or Myspace first. Then you can posted the "embedded" code here. If I remember correctly, this only works in certain parts of the forum, such as "The Clubhouse".

Yeah you certainly don't want to attach it - it would be huge. Upload it to youtube or google video and link to it.

FYI, most forums won't let you attach a video file.

If youtube or myspace doesn't work for ya. I can host it for you and show you how to use a wmf file.

Put me in the duh duh duh corner!!!

Ok Joe, where did I lose you?

These lines are a bit self explanatory


But I say this that code is for IE and everything else. The PARAM files are for IE the Embed line is for the everything else.


BTW I just spotted an error on the Embed line :eek:


So Joe for extra credit can you tell me the error???????

Tried, but couldn't come up with anything. Learned some syntax though.

Ok this is the answer.

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="360" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">

Just copy this line, but change the width and height values to what your video is.


<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www.dvrblackbox.com/funstuff/4_X_4n_33.wmv"&gt;


This is where the file is host from note the http://www. as this is outside this webpage.

<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">

If you what to show the play, forward, replay buttons.

<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true">

If you what to show the progress line.

<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">

If you what to display the video time.

<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">

Ok this is the fun one you can say true and it will load automatically when someone hits the page.

<PARAM name="loop" value="false">

Ok fun also if you what to loop over and over again.

<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="videos/4dtvbb.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="360" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="1" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0" loop="0"> </EMBED>


Ok this is what everything but IE needs every line is the same but list as 0 for false and 1 for true.

But note the SRC line this is the error I copy this from a webpage I put together and didn't change to line to the http://www. thing as above. This webpage must likely doesn't have a videos directory and then most likely doesn't have a 4dtvbb.wmv file but I be interest if they did

</OBJECT>

This just closes the object line started above.

If anyone is interested this is where I learned this stuff at http://www.mediacollege.com/

Think you got it, but 2 things...

1. With embed only this will show on non IE browsers only.

2. It's been stated that it only works in clubhouse area of this board.

Thanks Steve, not that I'm an HTML wiz, but the vB is a bit different. I suppose I could revive some dusty Clubhouse thread from 7 years ago, to see if it will work. Just tooling around.

Honestly if you wish to learn more about video streaming check out that www.mediacollege.com site.

Bookmarked link, and thanks.

One simple line does it in IE, but I was using FF, and I'm not accustomed to vB, so I thought it was wasn't working, but it is. Thanks for the reminder about the browser difference as well as the vB, HTML difference.
