Question

i have an application in which i browse a video and store that in a folder and save the path to a database.

the path is like:

http://dc620x_abcd/DesktopModules/DNNCentric-VC_ManageLessions/rq/ref/1.mp4 

on a next page i want to display the same video in an html page. i tried using iFrame of Html as

 <iframe id="frame1" runat="server" visible="false" style="height: 222px; width: 482px;">
                </iframe>



Finalpath = filepath + filename;
                frame1.Visible = true;
                frame1.Attributes.Add("embed src", Finalpath);

but it doesnt provide much help as it doesn’t provide the video embedded in an iFrame(instead of playing the video in an iframe it ask for the download ).
can i make the video to be played in an iframe or what are the other ways to perform the same task. thanks for any assistence

Answer 1

You can use the html5 video tag:

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
  <source src="http://dc620x_abcd/DesktopModules/DNNCentric-VC_ManageLessions/rq/ref/1.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
