Question

I am trying to play a video from video path that I have in database. If I hardcode the value in the following method then I am able to play the video. But m not sure how to play it dynamically directly from the database.

    <object id="Object1" classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
                               <param name="url" value="C:\Users\3embed\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\HeritageWeb\HeritageWeb\Videos\tum-ho.mp4" / >
                        <param name="http://" />
                        <param name="AutoStart" value="1" />
                        <param name="ShowControls" value="1" />
                        <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1" />
                        <param name="ShowDisplay" value="1" />
                        <param name="stretchToFit" value="1" />
                        <embed autostart="0" filename="" height="379" 
                            pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/" 
                            showcontrols="1" showdisplay="1" showstatusbar="1" 
                            src="C:\Users\3embed\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\HeritageWeb\HeritageWeb\Videos\tum-ho.mp4" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="424"></embed>

</embed>

How can we modify ” ” get values from database?

Answer 1

Make these changes to your <embed> object add runat="server" to make it available to codebehind and give it an ID="Video". Now you can change its attributes as per need.

<embed autostart="0" filename="" height="379" runat="server" ID="Video"
                                pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/" 
                                showcontrols="1" showdisplay="1" showstatusbar="1" 
                                 type="application/x-mplayer2" width="424"></embed>

Set the src in codebehind like this.

 Video.Attributes.Add("src","C:\Users\3embed\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\HeritageWeb\HeritageWeb\Videos\tum-ho.mp4");
