My bad. There is a beta Yahoo video search portal at http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/advanced
Google Video? Not easy. I came up with these, but they are messy...  
Maybe the second isn't so bad. You'll be using that text you get when you hover right?

"Mouseover" yes, that's it... 
I did know. Really. I've actually got an HND in these things...

Podge, took a look at your site.
Using Firefox (running on XP),
The first WMV started playing as soon as I opened the page (well as soon as it had buffered).
The other three, Flash, youtube, and GoogleVideo showed their relevant poster frame
and did not play until triggered to.
Using IE,
the WMV behaved itself - it showed a poster frame until I hit play.
Flash was triggered by mouseover.
YouTube showed a play button with no poster frame. When I hit the play button I got a screen saying both
"share this video" and "replay this video" Hitting play again gave me a blank screen.
Google Video gave me a blank black screen.
What about Quicktime files? My users will for the most part use Quicktime stored on their own or
rented server space.
BTW I tried visiting Microsoft using Firefox and was told I wasn't allowed access to a page of info
- I had to use IE to read it. So I do believe Microsoft are deliberately encouraging Firefox / WMP
incompatabilities. (Or maybe everyone here already knows this...)

Thats strange. It works for me using both IE6, IE Beta 7 and Firefox. WMV autoplays using Firefox. I didn't have a Quicktime movie to post but it should work. If you were using vid.asp, there might be problems with my version of it yet.
I'm doing the icons at the moment.
MarcelG. You are right of course. If the regex extracts the Google Url, then it doesn't matter what else is in there, the Google Url is the only one which can ever get used and that passes the check when urldecoded. So that function should be fine as is. I just have to solve the problem with vid.asp now.< |

One of my users report that the movie start automatically in FireFox, is it possible to have it start when the user click "play" as in IE?
Can you specify with which video type he has this problem, and on which page (topic.asp or vid.asp) ?
Whether or not autostart is used, is defined in the embedding.js file.
If I'm not mistaking, FireFox ignores the <OBJECT> part of the tags, and only utilizes the <EMBED> tag.
I've defined autostart the same for the OBJECT as well as the EMBED tag...so I'm wondering why this is happening. It might be a bug in FireFox.....
The user visited break.com and it was the same there, both with IE and FF.

If you do the following find/replace in embedding.js, you should effectively change the way the Windows Media player object is handled by embedding.js.
This one does NOT change the Quicktime player object.
Find this:
if(autostart != true && autostart != false && autostart != "true" && autostart != "false"){
autostart = false; //Replace with default. Default = false.
}//See if we can continue.
Replace it with this:
if(autostart != true && autostart != "true" && autostart != "1" && autostart != 1){
autostart = 0; //Replace with default. Default = 0 (false).
}else{
autostart = 1; //Replace with 1, being zero.
}//See if we can continue.
For the Quicktime object, use the following replacement.
if(autoplay != true && autoplay != false && autoplay != "true" && autoplay != "false"){
autoplay = false; //Replace with default. Default = false.
}//See if we can continue.
by
if(autoplay != true && autoplay != "true" && autoplay != "1" && autoplay != 1){
autoplay = 0; //Replace with default. Default = 0 (false).
}else{
autoplay = 1; //Replace with 1, being zero.
}//See if we can continue. < |
