Hello everyone -

I am working with a survey company to create an online survey that will incorporate videos. My work is primarily based around making call center programs and not online web based surveys. The survey invites will be sent to hundreds of people who of course may have different internet browsers. They will have the option of either viewing an WMV file or MOV file. I will set the WMV file to play with media player and the MOV with quick time. Below is the code I am using for each. I want to avoid compadibilty issues with different browsers so I hope the code below will have what it I need so that no one has issues viewing the videos. So i basically want my embedded videos to work on multiple types of browsers.

MEDIA PLAYER CODE

{DIV align="center"}{OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" width="425" height="355"}{PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="XXXXXXX"}{PARAM NAME="AnimationatStart" VALUE="false"}{PARAM NAME="TransparentatStart" VALUE="true"}{PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="true"}{PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="0"}{PARAM NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="0"}{PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="0"}{PARAM NAME="AutoSize" VALUE="0"}{PARAM NAME="EnableContextMenu" VALUE="false"}{embed TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=windows&sbp=mediaplayer&ar=Media&sba=Plugin&" SRC="XXXXXXX" HEIGHT="355" WIDTH="425" Name="MediaPlayer" AUTOSTART="1" SHOWCONTROLS="0" EnableContextMenu="0"}{/embed}{/OBJECT}{/div}

QUICK TIME CODE

{DIV align="center"}{object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="425" height="355" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"}{param name="src" value="XXXXXX"}{param name="autoplay" value="true"}{param name="controller" value="false"}{embed src="XXXXXX[code]" width="425" height="355" autoplay="true" controller="false" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"}{/embed}{/object}{/div}

so it looks like this:





Makes it infinitely easier for those of us digging through it to sort it all out.

Anyway, I'm not seeing any major problems with your code. What issues are you having??

My issue was that the videos were not playing when I would test them in a firefox or safari browser. I have since found that i might have been having issues because i was working on our servers and using our secure site. I tried from an external internet connection and the videos did play under the secure site so that is not an issue anymore. Another issue i noticed is that that some of the options i wanted executed would work in internet explorer but not in firefox/safari. When i play the videos in internet explorer the menu's are removed and right click does not work, this is what i want. In firefox/safari the menus are gone for the quicktime file but not the Media player file. I will continue to play with some of the tags and see if I can remove the menus from showing up in firefox/safari. I appreciate your response and any help with this
