How to Embed Media Player Options
- 1). Log in to your Web server and navigate to the page into which you will embed the media player. Click on the section of the page where you want the media player to appear.
- 2). Paste the following code into your page:
<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="video.wmv"> - 3). Copy and paste the following to add options to your media player:
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
By setting the "autostart" value to false, you allow the viewer to have the option to start the video himself, without the video starting automatically when the page loads. By setting the "ShowControls" value to true, you are allowing the viewer to see and use the pause, fast forward and rewind buttons. - 4). Copy and paste the following:
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="video.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT> - 5). Check your entire code. Its format should look like this:
<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="video.wmv">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="video.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT> - 6). Change both instances of "video.wmv" to the actual file path of the video you want to embed.
- 7). Click "Publish."
