Web Forms :: Silverlight Media Player Change Source And Play From Javascript?
Jan 22, 2010
I am having trouble accessing an embedded Silverlight 2 media player in an aspx page from Javascript and was hoping someone might offer some insight on what's going on.
What I want to do is fire a javascript event on the client when a button is pressed to change the Silverlight media player media source and then play the newly selected file.
I found what seemed like a pretty straightforward example on the silverlight.net site that looked like this:
[Code]....
However, when I run it, I get an error "undefinedObject doesn't support this property or method".
I've confirmed that the client-side id I am using is correct, and I have tried using document.GetElementByID in place of $find (which is what I use elsewhere on the site successfully; my javascript kung fu is weak and I'm not precisely sure what the difference
might be) but it still doesn't work. It all seems like it should work as it was presented in the example, but I only get that error.
I am using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + Silverlight 3.0 + ASP.Net to develop a Silverlight application (a video media player) in browser and the function is simple, just use MediaElement to play a remote video file.The remote server is Windows Server 2008 + IIS 7.0 + IIS Media Bit Rate Throttling Control.Since the request media URL can be discovered (e.g. from traffic sniffer), and I want to know how to prevent from download directly from the Url? i.e. I want end user to use my Silverlight media player application in browser to play the file, prevent them from download to local directly. Any easy and quick solution or reference code/documents?
i have the following bit of code... is there a way to embed a media player into a webpage (such as windows media player) and play a file on it without actually having to have windows media player installed?
so to clarify, can i play a windows media player in a webpage without having it installed? because at the moment the follwing bit of code only plays my files asfter i installed windows media player on my PC.
Iam having a avi video file of 250MB.i want to play it through it media player control.it plays but first it download the whole file than plays.so what i want is to buffer that file.so at moment user clcks on play buttonit starts playing the file.
I'm working on an Intranet Web site that will include an audio playback feature. I'm approaching this with an embedded Windows Media Player (class ID: 6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6). The problem I have is that if I set an missing or inaccesible as the URL I can't find a way to determine from Javascript that it failed to play. It appears the player starts to play and immediatly stops. How do I detect a File Not Found or other error?
I have a varbinary field in a sql table which is actually a sound file. When I pull that data into a gridivew it is currently showing as byte[]. I would like to make that field a link and when the link is clicked the file will play in the users default media player. I am looking how to pull the varbinary column data and play it for the user.
My application plays movies from specific positions, so even a position mentioned in milliseconds matters for me. I'm assigning a position to a media element but it's showing the wrong frame. I don't know why media player is not playing from the position that I'm giving. Here is some sample code:
TimeSpan oTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(16800200); // This shows 04:40:00.2000000 MediaPlayer.Position = oTimeSpan; // But after assigning, value is 04:40:00.1990000
i am developing web portal, which suppose to upload video in sql2005 and should be able to retrieve that video on request and play in aspx page with windows media player.
I have a well established site in asp.net. I need to use the silverlight player to provide video streaming of meetings we have pre-recorded. I want to be able to provide a list of agenda items in a list / menu style setup in the asp.net page, then based on which link the click change which video the silverlight player plays.
I also need to capture some information from the asp.net page, and don't have time to build a full silverlight application to manage. What is the best way to do this?
I know to put the object tag, and set the source to the xaml file / xap file, but how can I change the video source inside the xaml file? Or is it going to be easier to build out the "full page in silverlight" and then just wrap it in the asp.net page?
I am using the media player and real player video controls they work fine in ie. How can I check they are installed in all main browsers like firefox and chrome and ie if not installed ?.
I have two mp4 video files on webserver, i wanted to play them in flash player(flv player) on my asp.net page, but i couldn't be able to play them, i also tried to play them in quick time player the same prob occured. but i waz giving the accurate path, there were no spaces in mp4 file names etc.
Does it need to have mp4 player(or codec etc) installed on webserver?
I have also some wmv files on that server , and i am playing perfectly using silver light player, and media player object on my website.
I have an ASP .NET 2.0 (4.0 is an option) page that I've embedded the Windows Media Player to using OBJECT tags.
The player is connecting to a Windows Media Services publishing point on the Web server. This is on a 2008 server.
Everything works great, see it here: [URL]
If I understand correctly, the information the player is showing in its status bar comes from the ID3 tags of the current track. Continuing on this line of thought, the ID3 information must be coming to the player from the media server. Correct?
What I want to do is collect and use the information about the track that's current being played. I'd like to be able to create a custom display for the current track information. I'd also like to put a custom value in the track information to look up additional information about the artist/track from a database.
i am using Media Player in my site its working fine..but if i want to use themes where should i get those thems(professional xaml.,,et.,) ..is it possible to download..if yes provide the link
First of all, I have done a few C# applications, but are new to C# asp.net web applications.
What I am trying to receive is a simple Media player control on an aspx page. And furthermore a button (not the button on the media player control), that starts the media player with a videostream url. Thats all!
I can easily achieve this in an ordinary c# application form, by importing:
AxInterop.WMPLib.dll, Interop.WMPLib.dll and wmp.dll references in the project. Now i am able to choose a "Windows media player" control in the toolbox, which i can drag into my form. Nice and easy.
But when i import these dll´s in my ASP.NET Web application, I cannot see the media player control in the toolbox. Ive tried to right-click the toolbox, and click "Choose items", and see that 'Windows media player' is checked under the COM components tab. But i still cannot see the control in the toolbox. Only in an ordinary c# application form.
The WMP is loaded immediately but the wmv file need more time. How I can inform the visitor that the video is loading may be using a word "Wait..." or other?
i want to use asp media control to show videos stored in database
<asp:MediaPlayer ID="MediaPlayer1" runat="server" Height="240px" Width="320px" MediaSkinSource="~/skins/Basic.xaml"> </asp:MediaPlayer> here i am retereving videos as per videoid using linq ELearnDataContext eld = new ELearnDataContext(); var x = (from a in eld.Videos where a.VideoID== 1 select a).First();
but i don't know how i can use asp.net mediacontrol to show reterieved videos
I am trying to show a few different videos in a grid view on an aspx page. The videos are stored in a folder called Videos, and the name is stored under the variable VideoName in a table along with the video title and video details. When I load the page the variables all are retrieved, and show on the page in their correct place. But the media player can't find the path to the folder, and instead shows the default image head_bckg.jpg. How can I get the media player to find the file name in the folder?
<ItemTemplate><span style=""> <div class="div2"> <h1><%# Eval("VideoTitle") %></h1> (these all work) <h2><%# Eval("VideoDetails") %></h2> (these all work)
I have embedded a windows media player object in my html. I also have a gridview that gets the name, filePath and details of files that can be downloaded from a database. I understand how to use gridviewEventArgs and commandName etc. But, how can I send the file path that I get from the database specifically to the "FileName" parameter for the html object so that the user can click on different movies in the gridview and then it changes the Filename param? Below is the html code:
In this tutorial when we upload Videos, it will upload in new FlowPlayer window, but I want to retrieve videos from sql server and play in same player window.
I am using Media Player Control to play a video file(.mpg). The video file can be played ok when I specify an absolute URL value (something llike C:UsersMyFilesMyVideoTestVideo.mpg) for the MovieURL property . Anyway when I set a relative URL value like ./TestVideo.mpg (the format follows an example from some tutorial) for the MovieURL property, the video file cannot by played.
I have this .aspx page in my Visual Studio 2008 web project solution, with a media player control and a button which invokes it and starts playing a file:
[code]
line is added to the .aspx page. When the page is now loaded, and the button from before that used to work gets clicked, i get a Javascript error saying that 'Player' is not defined.
