I have embedded a windows media player on a web page and I would like to know if i can get the visualizations with the audio. I've researched this with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Chris,
Do you want to know how to create your own vizualizations for the Windows Media Player? If so, then you'll need to download the SDK for the program. You'll also need Microsoft Visual C++, or Microsoft Visual C++ .NET. Here's an introduction for working with visualizations in the SDK. Also, if you're creating additional visualizations, you would need to provide the user with an option to install. As far as I can gather, this cannot be done through the player itself. If you simply want to change the visible user controls on the embedded player, then that's fairly easy to implement. (see below) Player.uiMode "The uiMode property specifies or retrieves a value indicating which controls are shown in the user interface." (from the Microsoft msdn site). I'm sure what you're really after is something completely different! :o) Feel free to supply us with further details. Paul |

Thanks for the reply Paul,
Right now when audio plays I have nothing just a black screen. I still haven't found anything that really leads me to believe that I can control the display easily. I wouldn't mind just importing a jpg or something into the display while the song was playing. I'm really not wanting to do anything real complicated. I'm using windows media 6.4 for browser compatibility, so that as i know is my first problem. I still feel as though I should be able to import something ie microsoft plugin or importing a graphic.

Paul, does this call up the media serving components from somewhere?
The code that I use has an href in it to a microsoft site: Quote:

Yeah Mik, it is a good idea to have the CODEBASE parameter included in with the object properties.
Extract from MSDN: The following OBJECT tag attributes are required. ID: The name used to reference this instance of the control in scripts. CLSID: The Class Identifier (CLSID) of the Windows Media Player control, which is used by the Web browser to create the ActiveX object on the page. Using the CODEBASE attribute is strongly recommended, but optional. It contains a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) pointing to a location where the Windows Media Player control can be downloaded from, if it is unavailable on a user's system. In addition to the address of the Windows Media Player object, the CODEBASE attribute can optionally specify a version number of the Windows Media Player control. it's all giving me a bit of a headache! ;o) Paul |

Paul,
I am glad I'm not the only one it's giving a headache. Most of the things that's been mentioned here, I have tried. Although it works well on my pc, I have it tested on a number of others. If everyone had win media 9 it would be gravy. With 9 you can use uiMode which solves everything. I would like to change the height, but i will have to write a script because of video on my page. If you guys ever find the perfect solution let me now, I will do the same. Thanks, Chris |

Hi Chris,
I won't say I've cracked it by any stretch of the imagination.. but if you check out the URL below, you'll find a range of ways of presenting the Windows Media Player. Various displays for ASF-ASX files http://www.mamselle.ca/asfdisplays.html The particular method featured, just displays the streaming data from the track being played.. i.e. Song title, time elapsed, etc. I think this would look a lot cleaner than the black video screen with no animation. Hope that helps, Paul |

It is Paul H.'s fault

I almost could have maybe HURT MYSELF if I moved any faster and explosively. You see, because of one 'paulhiles' aka the'linkmeister general' and his providing of the above link, and all manner of others, I moved so fast to add it my 'favourites' and my 'hot list' (current most relevent links I am using, on any given day) that I could have pulled something and got hurt! lol Okay, I just woke up, but thank you very much, I have the WMP SDK and have been trying to find time to get this stuff under my belt, but from day one I have wanted to provide sreaming media from my website and it has always been my number one on my 'things I vow to do as soon as I can' dream list. I am respected for getting good links, for CSS and design articles, but I always new you were good at everything. My heartiest thanks for this one. I hope my enthusiasm is showing. FAQ's. Media programming and streaming. Two idea's who's time is nigh. lol (yes, I try to sound pretentious, and mockingly, satiracally sso 8o]) |
