How to play video on the web.
Posted: 15 Apr 2009 06:38
Hello. I am a noob. I don't know any code or http scripting. I figured out how to run the VlC on one computer and stream it to another computer on VLC (as client) using UDP foramt. I found the following code in searching the forums to create a player in my web browser, saved as html doc. (see posting here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=57636&p=194069#p194069 ) My browser shows it is waiting for video now, so how to I stream a video to my web browser. I am using firefox on Windows XP Os. Please provide step by step instrux on what to do next to play on my web browser. Thanks
Code: Select all
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" width="800" height="600" autoplay="no" loop="no" id="vlc"></embed>
<script type="text/javascript">
function timer(){
mediatimer = setTimeout("timer()", 500)
if (vlc.playlist.isPlaying == false) {
//set and play video
vlc.playlist.add("videofolder/" + source_playlist[current_media]['content'], "", options);
vlc.playlist.add("vlc://quit");
vlc.playlist.play();
current_video+=1;
}
if (current_video == source_playlist.length) {
current_video = 0;
}
}
var options = new Array(":audio", ":quiet-synchro", ":no-video-title-show");
var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
//setup playlist array - can be sourced from file
source_playlist = new Array();
source_playlist[0] = new Array();
source_playlist[0]['content'] = "video1.avi";
source_playlist[1] = new Array();
source_playlist[1]['content'] = "video2.avi";
var current_media = 0;
timer();
</script>
