html - WMPlayer embed not playing video -
In my company, we link our site to a video provided by a partner company. They changed their video encoding from FLV to MP3 videos and the current video player does not play them on our site. We have changed it to a Windows Media Player, which is running our most popular Windows and Internet Explorer, the embed code we have used is:
& lt; Object & gt; & Lt; Embed type = "App / X-Empler 2" plugins = "http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" name = "videoplayer" ShowStatusBar = "false" EnableContextMenu = "false" autostart = "true" width = "426" height = "285" loop = "false" src = [video_url] /> & Lt; / Object & gt;
I see WMPlayer displayed on the site and plays video, but my clients only display the player and the video does not play. We have updated the Flash plugin to our customers and still nothing. What can be the problem?
You have to install additional codecs on the client machine for it to have several codec packs (Google search) This can not be done automatically from the browser because it requires the installer to run.
WMP is a very dirty solution, because you are basically screwing on anyone who visits your site with Mac or Linux computer. There are also several other ways to use the new HTML5 features as well as running MP3 through Flash.
