If you look in MSDN Online (Search for windows media player and scripting)
you will find sample code with all the directives to create a combined
<objecttag with an <embedtag in your page and how to script it. If
somebody doesn't have Windows Media player installed (not very likely on an
windows box) they would be prompted to go get it.

I'm trying to access the media player (V10) mediacollection object from my ..NET web service to return a list of media files. For some reason when i call getByAttribute("MediaType", "Audio") it does not return anything (ie. an empty playlist object), however if i call this using just a normal windows app, it returns all of my audio files as expected. I am suspecting it is using the ASPNET user (ie. default web service user) instead of...

I have a .avi file that uses the Divx codec. If I load it with windows media player program it works fine. If I load it using my control in a program, it doesn't display. Over standard media files work fine so it's this particular file. Do I have to do anything when the file uses a non-included codec? How can I tell what Codec it's using? TIA - Jeff.

I have a webpage that detects whether Shockwave Player is installed and the version number. The javascript/vbscript that I use has worked fine until the latest release of the Shockwave Player. I am still able to detect the Shockwave Player and the version number when using Firefox/Netscape, but not with IE. I have my own detection script that I use, but I've also used the detection scripts supplied from Macromedia, but it still won't...

I'm working on project that plays movies using Windows Media Player and I'm controlling everything with JavaScript. Per the client I only need to support IE 6 or greater which happens to make things a bit easier. What I need to do is create a playlist and play it using JavaScript. I keep on getting close but not close enough to play the dang files. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on what worked for them?

I've found how to use javascript to embed a Windows Media Player in a web page. How do I go about controlling the player in response to user input? There should be calls to start, stop and also to play at a certain position. For instance, I'd like to have a video playing. Along with that, I'd present a list of 10 chapters within the video. When a user clicks a link, the player should play the appropriate chapter or section. Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
