: I figured it out. For some reason it could not find the
actual video
: file. It does not really make since, but I had to use the
actual link
: to the video on the server. Which sucks because i have to
re publish
: the video it creates and deletes the old one. Also mpg
does not work
: on this player ill have to convert all videos to wmv.
********************************************************
The following code works prety much with all media types,
you just need to change the height and width attributes,
along with the content-type to reflect the mime type for the
content-you can even use the object ag for images.
That said; I would recommend changing to WMV anyways, as
different browsers will not always play the content with the
desired media player.
<object type="video/mpeg" data="sample.mpg" width="352"
height="240">
<param name="src" value="sample.mpg" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>
