    Is there a way to embed windows media player and control its parameters with PHP?

    I spent about 3 weeks on this. First I tried WMP embedded, didnt work (active x issue), then JW PLayer, didnt work too, then Flow Player, then Jw wmv player silver light (Yehaa, it worked, parcialy...)

    It was 2 weeks to realize that flow player and jw player work with RTMP, but not with MMS video streams.

    So, my question is: Is there a way to embed windows media player and control its parameters with PHP?

    I mean, not active x controls, but pure php, along with java script, or something else that can be accepted by everybrowser.

    I dont know a thing of ASP, tried and tried with silverlight player, and it simply wont play the mms stream, someone told me that I should change the port on the server, and on the script. I dont have access to that kind of stuff (server config), and also, I have an ASX playlist with more than 800 itens, most of them works fine.

    Even if that's not windows media player, if anyone know at least a player that can play this stream mms://unitv.pucrs.br/UniTV on FireFox, or FF, or Safari, please, let me know.

    ty very much :)


    Ps: Note that the mms stream above works fine on Windows media player.

      If it's an activex issue then it's your browser, because PHP is aserver-size language, all it does is print the code to the page. Here's the HTML that you need:

      Code:
      <OBJECT classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" width="[WIDTH]" height="[HEIGHT]">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="[URL GOES HERE]">
<PARAM NAME="volume" VALUE="[VOLUME]">
<embed src="[URL GOES HERE]" width="[WIDTH]" height="[HEIGHT]" volume="[VOLUME]"></embed>
</OBJECT>
      PHP has nothing to do with it working or not, all it des it print the HTML to the page. I tested this code and it works.

      Oh, and yes, you WILL need to replace the values that I've put inside [] brackets (including the brackets themselves).

              This one is fully working for me. :D
              By the way, is there a parameter that can show the playlist, so the user can choose wich item he will watch?

                  I found a script, configured it acording to the guide, but now, only the player works, the playlist wont show up.

                  Code:
                  <head>
<script language="javascript1.2">
function loadPlayItems() {
        df=document.getElementById("playItem");
        dp=document.getElementById("playlist");
        WMP9=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer1");

WMP9.url="http://tv.mghospedagem.com/jwp-silverlight/play.asx";
        WMP9.controls.play();

}

function showPlayItems() {
        WMP9=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer1");
        playlistItems=WMP9.currentPlaylist.count;
        for (i=0; i<playlistItems; i++) {
                playitem=document.createElement("a");
                playnext=document.createElement("br");
                playitem.setAttribute("href","#");
                playitem.setAttribute("onclick","playItem("+i+")");
                playitem.innerText=WMP9.currentPlaylist.item(i).name;
                dp.appendChild(playitem);
                dp.appendChild(playnext);
        }
        playListLoaded=true;
        WMP9.controls.stop();

}

function setPlayItem(index) {
        WMP9=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer1");
        playlistItems=WMP9.currentPlaylist.count;
        if (playlistItems > 0) {

WMP9.controls.currentItem=WMP9.currentPlaylist.item(index);
                WMP9.controls.play();
        }
}

</script></head>

<body onLoad="loadPlayItems()">
<object id="MediaPlayer1"
classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject" width="600" height="400">
<param name="autostart" value="0">
        <param name="showcontrols" value="0">
        <param name="uimode" value="full">
        <param name="stretchtofit" value="1">
        <param name="enablecontextmenu" value="0">
</object>

<div id="playlist" style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left:
640px; visibility: visible;">
<h2>Playlist</h2></div>

<script language="javascript1.2" for="MediaPlayer1"
event="playStateChange">
WMP9=document.getElementById("MediaPlayer1");
if (WMP9.playState==3 && ! playListLoaded) {
        showPlayItems();
}

</script>

                  You can see the page here http://tv.mghospedagem.com/wmp-plBYTES.html
                  Ps: only work for IE.

                  And here is where I got the code from https://groups.google.com/group/micr...a]&hl=en&pli=1

                      Dude, this is Javascript, not PHP. This is a PHP forum, you'll need to ask one of the mods to move it to the Javascript forum. Please make sure you're posting in the proper forum next time.

                              What if I open a new thread in javascript section and come here and put a link to it?
