Windows Media Template?
« on: November 07, 2002, 05:21:40 AM »
Does anyone know if windows media .wmv files can be uploaded and viewed?  If so what is the format of the template?

This is the plugin I use on my web pages...

<embed id="VideoVIDEO" name="VideoVIDEO" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/Download/default.asp" src="http://www.MYSITE.com/hcblive.asx" width="360" height="270" type="application/x-mplayer2" EnableFullScreenControls="1" AUTOREWIND="0" SHOWSTATUSBAR="1" AnimationatStart="false" SHOWDISPLAY="0" AUTOSIZE="0" ENABLECONTEXTMENU="1" SHOWCONTROLS="0" PLAYCOUNT="0"> </p>
 
Thanks!

Try this:

1)Add the .wmv file extensions in the admin panel under the section allowed media type.

2)create a new media template under >templates>default>media>
and call it wmv.html

3)In that template put your embed tag as such:

<embed id="VideoVIDEO" name="VideoVIDEO" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/Download/default.asp" src="{media_src}" width="360" height="270" type="application/x-mplayer2" EnableFullScreenControls="1" AUTOREWIND="0" SHOWSTATUSBAR="1" AnimationatStart="false" SHOWDISPLAY="0" AUTOSIZE="0" ENABLECONTEXTMENU="1" SHOWCONTROLS="0" PLAYCOUNT="0"> <br />

4)upload the media tou your server or call it from a fully qualified URL, both methods are allowed within the admin panel.

5) Test



Keep in mind that the directory path I gave you in step 2 is only if you are using the regular set of templates! if you use something else please adjust that path


Also I have NOT tried this myself, but by looking at how it is done for the other media types (movies in particular) it makes sense to do it like that.

Please back up!! :wink:

I tried so many different ways and keep geting the same error message...

"Invalid file type (wmv, video/x-ms-wmv)"

I added wmv in the control panel with a coma and no space and uploaded a wmv.html  I also changed the permissions to rw like the other html templates

I'm lost!  hahaha!

Any other suggestions?

It may not be a real fix but rather a quick fix, but can you re-encode these files using another format? one that we now is supported? mpg?

Sorry maybe somebody else knows! or maybe it's just Microsoft/Linux probrlem?

Good Luck!

In "includes/upload_definitions.php" add this line:

$mime_type_match['wmv'] = array("video/x-ms-wmv");

Upload an default icon to the icon-directory in your template folder called wmv.gif

this is PHP settings, u can not change it. ask your host about it.
and u can run this script to see PHP configuration on your host:
Code: [Select]
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
