You can use the code below without <embed> works fine.
----------------------------------------------
<object classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
id="player" width="475" height="408">
<param name="url" value="your_video.wmv" />
<param name="src" value="your_video.wmv" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="true" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="video/x-ms-wmv"
data="your_video.wmv"
width="475" height="407">
<param name="src" value="your_video.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial works great! One question: I'm using a playlist in an m3u file and I'm trying to get the list to automatically start over after the last song finishes. It seems playcount=0 is supposed to make this happen but the playlist just ends after the last song. I also tried loop="true" but that didnt work either. Also, do you know if I can have mp3s and movie files in the same playlist? Is it still an m3u file? Any help would be great. Thanks again

Hi.
Thanks for the very useful reference for the media player.
Do you know of any way to change the style of the player's controls when displayed in a web page (eg to use a darker background)? It seems it should be possible to create a skin file of some sort, but I can't find any guidance on this.
Hi there, I am having a big problem, which you will find on my website. I cannot find the coding for a windows media player without the green writing on the image. To be clear, the writing is like a buffering number system that indicates the speed of the video clip playing. Please help me i am in great hurry to complete this site. Thank you
How do I change the embedded code on a windows media file, so that once posed on facebook, it would be difficult for the average person to downoload the video file.
Thanks,
Terence L. Johnson

This has been of the greatest help. I have spent more time than I want to mention looking for just this soultion. This works great in IE 7& 8. Just one small problem in Firefox and that I ned to enable a drop down menu. If possible could you add the code or e-mail me the code on how to use the menu option. Thanks a million

Question: What is the height of the media player controls? And should I add this amount to the height property in order for it to display correctly?

How do I enable a picture frame on the Windows Media video when the page load occurs but there is not autostart. I would like visitors to my page to see a preview still of the video but have the option to start the video themselves and I don't know how to get around the blank screen that appears. Thanks!

I need help. Please take a look at my code below. It works fine on internet explorer, but fails on Fire Fox. It fails on the lines where you call "dplayer.settings.playcount", "dplayer.settings.autostart" and "dplayer.controls.play". I don't know why it is failing. Does Fire Fox not support any of these JavaScript functions? What do I need to do to get it working in Fire Fox? Fire Fox is very unforgiving.
Thanks for your help. You may publish or email me.

Setting up the media player in a webpage was easy enough. The problem I'm having is opening the page with a parameter specifying the source video file. I'm not versed in the URL syntax to get this to happen and don't even know if it can be done. Is it something like:
"C:\Users\X\Desktop\Doc1.htm"?url="C:\MyVideo.avi"
Is there any way i could get the current status using JS. EG: i would like to know if the player is currently buffering the stream or has lost the connection.

I tried the above mentioned Object Code for Media Player, I can see the structure, but it is not playing video. Please suggest what to do next...?
Hi,
Here's a question. I have a volume control like thingy on my web page. Now, I want to know how I could bind this control to JavaScript code or HTML(in Firefox). In other words, what are the means to control the volume of the plugin using script-based code?

I'm looking for the solution to a query posted back on May 3, 2012. I'm wanting to do the same thing ... display an image on the player window till the user clicks the play button.
