Online Media Player

[Guest]

I have a custom application containing WMP and I'd like to create an "online"
version of it for use in websites. I believe that this used to be
accomplished with activex in VB 6. How would I go about recreating it for
use in websites like youtube, or other flash players? Do I have to go back
to VB 6?

Hi,

The WMP control can be embedded in web page, for example:

http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/embed_mediaplayer.htm

Then you can use script to control the WMP instance in your web page, I
think most of your existing code logic that's interacting with the WMP
control will still work in the web page.

Thanks for that information. Are you telling me though, that I can't create
my own control in vb.net and embed it in a webpage. I am fully aware of the
ability to embed WMP in a page. I'd like to embed MY application which has
the media player in it into a page. One of the things my app does is play
video, among other things. Is this possible?

Just for clarification:

You want to embed a Window's Form UserControl into a Web Application
right?

Thanks,

yes. at least that's what I think I need to do. I'm not all that sure.
I've created a media player app, similar to http://www.veoh.com/ and want to
embed it in a webpage. I don't know where to start. Currently, the
application is a windowsform app, but can be made into windows control if
that's what I need to do.

Thanks again for everyone's help

Email me privately and I can show you how to do this with examples and a
private web site that I can show you as well using the code. I would think
it has everything you need.

Hi,

A Windows Forms Control can be used in IE; however, this will requires .NET
Framework installed at client-side.

To the OP:

If you decide to host the Window's Control from an ASP.NET website,
remember that you can detect which (if any) version of the framework
the client has using the Request.Browser object. This would allow you
to redirect them to the framework's download site if their version is
inadequate.

I would seriously worry about this Internet Explorer for Windows only
approach - what about user's using Firefox, Opera, or Safari?
Depending on your client base you may want to rethink your approach.

Thanks,
