August 3, 2006 • Html by Emanuele Feronato • 8 Comments

Just in case you have to embed a wmv file in your webpage, and there is no need to do it since it’s possibile to play better videos with flash but… just in case you really have to do it… like I have to do it today… here it is the html code

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="videofilename.wmv">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="videofilename.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Adjust height, width, ect to match your video settings.

    This seems to work in IE, but not in Mozilla. Do you have anny fixes for that?

    You forgot to state to place code between tags. I also, have a video in .wmv that I converted to .flv and it looks more clearer in .wmv then flash. What did I do wrong besides developing it in .wmv first?

    Thank You

    I would suggest to use a cross-browser JavaScript library Voynex Object Embedding ( http://voynex.com/products/object-embedding ) to easily embed windows media audio/video to your HTML documents. With the help of this library you can embed audio, video and other types of objects in one line of code.

    Try following code. It works for me for IE, Mozila, Chrome & Safari.
