Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Hi,

I am developing an application that requires displaying video file using
media player on my iPaq 4700 using internet explorer. I have media player 9
on pocket pc.

I wrote a html file that embeds the media player as an object. I use

CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95

when embed the media player.

But somehow, when I load the htm page to my pocket pc, the internet explorer
doesn't show the player at all on the page.

I would really appreicate if anybody can provide some suggestions.

Thanks,

Peter

Neil,

Thanks for the reply. After I installed wmnall.exe on my PPC, I could load
the WMP embedded html page on my PPC. However, two problems remain:

1) how to use javascript to add parameters

For example, if I want to add the following:

<PARAM NAME="Filename" VALUE="\My Documents\wm_sample.wmv">

how should I use javascript to add?

2) as I mentioned in another post, the display seems to be screwed up. After
loading the html page, if I trigger a pop up menu, it will stay on the screen
and overlapping with the media player even after I turned the menu off. Or
when I use the scroll bar to move the page up and down, the WMP disply
doesn't referesh fast enough, which causes the window being splitted, and
some unwanted lines appearing. Is there any solution for this, such enlarge
memory or something?

Thanks for your help and I appreciate it.

Peter - is there any reason you started a new thread ? I find it hard
to follow this stuff if you throw away the thread information and
begin a new one. Anyway - comments inline :

Let's assume you used an HTML ID of 'Player' for your embedded media
player. Then you would set the URL as follows : call this onload from
your body tag

function loadplayercontrols() {
Player.FileName="\\My Documents\\wm_sample.wmv";
Player.Play();
}

Note the double backslash in Local file paths, as Javascript uses \ as
an escape character, so \\ is equivalent to a single \

You did ? Which other post ? Where ? There are about 28000 messages in
this newsgroup, let alone others. Perhaps rather than me searching for
the post, you could add it to this thread ?

hi, i am using HP ipaq 4150 Pocket PC 2003. I have wrote following code
to get data from a video streaming server, which use windows media
encoder.
However, it just can stream audio, but can display video.
Is any idea to solve??

<html>

<body>

<h1>Test video streaming</h1>

<object id="Player"
width="200" height="220"
classID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
type="application/x-oleobject">
</object>

<script language="JScript">
// Initialize the variables needed
// to store the marker information.
var fileNames = new Array();



// This function opens and plays the specified file.
function openFile(filename) {
if (filename) {
Player.FileName = filename;
} else {
alert("You must enter a file name first." );
}
}
</script>

<script for="Player" event="Error()" language="JScript">
alert(Player.ErrorDescription);
</script>

<form>
<b> Video Server Address:<br>
</b> <input name="filename" type="text" size="15" />
<input type="button" value="Open" onClick="openFile(filename.value)"
/>

</form>

My application requires me to embed the Windows Media Player in a web page or
a stand alone Application where I can insert the WM Player.

I am using HP iPAQ H3615, this is a WiFi based Pocket PC phone(GPRS) with TI
OMAP processor. It has preinstalled Windows Media Player 9 Series. I tried to
use the HTML code to add the WM Player to a Web Page. However I couldn't
display the WM Player on the web page. After going through comments in this
Newsgroup, I tried to install the wmnall.exe on this PPC, however I couldn't
install as this executable file is for Pocket PC 3.0, where as my Pocket PC
is having Pocket PC 2003 OS.

Also, I found on the Microsoft website that OCX control called WMP v6.4 is
need on the Pocket PC in order to embed the WM Player in the Pocket PC 2003.
Do you know where I can find this OCX control.

I appreciate your help.

Warm Regards,
Srinivas
