Embed video in a web page for IE8

Postby **ksatterw** » 08 Oct 2010 23:33

I am creating a web page that will display videos, however I cannot get vlc to play the video in the browser. Here is the code I am using:

Code: Select all

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="VlcTest.Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>VLC Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
    
            <object
                classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"
                type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
                width="640"
                height="480"
                id="vlc">
                <param name="MLR" value="http://localhost/Content/Funny Cats.flv" />
                <param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" />
                <param name="AutoLoop" value="True" />
                <param name="AutoPlay" value="True" />    
            </object>

        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

If I type the URL directly into the broswer, the "Do you want to save this file?" dialog appears. If I click the Open button, vlc opens the video and begins playing it outside the browser. What do I need to do to get the video to play in the browser?

Use a relative filepath.

"Content/Funny Cats.flv"

or "Funny Cats.flv", probably, depending on what page html and video files are in.

I tried the relative path "Content/Funny Cats.flv", but it did not work. All I see is a black rectangle in the web page. The video never starts playing.

install vlc 1.0.5 full package

and unzip to desktop and open index.html
