Question

Hi I have a webpage that’s using classic ASP that I want to display a streaming video for the user to watch.

<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="480" height="428" 
classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Microsoft® Windows® Media       
Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject"                               
codebase="https://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">    
<param name="fileName" value="VehiclePreOp.avi">  <param name="autoStart" value="True">  
<param name="showControls" value="true">  <param name="AllowChangeDisplaySize" value="true">  
<param name="ClickToPlay" value="true">  <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" 
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="VehiclePreOp.avi" autoStart="True" >
</embed></OBJECT>

For some reason the video doesn’t show and the screen is just black within the embedded player. Anyone have any ideas on why the video won’t show?

O yes just using IE 8 and not FF or Chrome.

Answer 1

Is the path name to the video file correct ?
