Hi,

Please help me out from this problem.

I want that when a viewer click on a play button of Windows Media Player embeded in a web page the linked video (.mpeg) file will run online. But this will not happen instead of playing the file it asked for download the file. Here is the code what i put on my web page.

<tr>
<td width="100%" align="center">
<object id="MediaPlayer1"
CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
<BR>standby="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..."
type="application/x-oleobject" width="250" height="246"><param name="fileName" value="PromoNew.mpg"><param name="animationatStart" value="true"><param name="transparentatStart" value="true"><param name="autoStart" value="false"><param name="showControls" value="true"><param name="Volume" value="-450"><embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="PromoNew.mpg"> name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1
volume=-450></object>
</td>
</tr>

Please help me out to solve the problem. Please tell me what is wrong in this code. Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions and time.

Well first of all, what is that <br> doing in the middle of the <object> tag?

There were a few problems, like the line-break (br) and a missing open tag.

<object id="MediaPlayer1" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" type="application/x-oleobject" width="250" height="246">
<param name="fileName" value="PromoNew.mpg">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="false">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="PromoNew.mpg">
<name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450></object>

That's the code you want.

Thank you very much for the help. Now it is working. But it still asked to download the file when the page loads. the url of the said web page is http://www.sarghimohali.com/tallyfilm.htm

I really appricate the valuable time which you spend to solve my problem. Thanks again

This made me laugh... not sure why!

Lol dotcomguy, what can I say... I'm just one of those people

And to gps.. I viewed that website in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, and in it seemed to work (automatically start playing) fine in both..

Can you possibly elaborate on your problem, or check again to see if you are still running into this problem?

Thanks TrentonD for your visit. But on my PC the problem is same. when ever i go to that link it asked for download then i close the window. But the movie clip play fine.

The problem exist in my side.

Yeah, if you still need it just type EMBED SRC .WMV intol google search, most all of those willw ork for your .mpeg.

Has this failed?

<embed src="file.mpeg" autostart="false" hidden="false">

Sometimes the simplest route works the best.

Edit: I viewed the link, and everything seemed to work fine.
