Help html coding

[Laddey]

So, im putting a site together, its nothing special but its mandatory for this ass college course.

I want to insert a media player into my site, im using frontpage. i googled it and i got the coding but i don't understand how to upload the song i want for the site.

I obviously inserted the coding into a table and when i previewed it and the media player did appear, but how on earth to i select the songs i want to upload?

 

[Varna]

I assume there is a script with the location of the songs in which the media player uses, you found anything like that?

Yeah i found the scripting but wtf do you do with it?!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Post it here?

 

[Varna]

Try opening it in notepad, search for something like "C:\bla\bla.mp3" or something, I assume this would be where you place your songs. You'll need to change this though, possibly create a folder on your webspace using FTP client, call it sounds or something similar.

Post it here?

Yeah, we can probably help you more if you do this.

Fine, FINE!

Start Playback

VIDEO.URL="filename";

Stop Playback

VIDEO.controls.stop();

Properties

VIDEO.PlayState;
VIDEO.controls.CurrentPosition;
VIDEO.controls.Duration;

I know it says video, but surely it can be changed easily? Fucking batters my head.


ALSO! The website is only going to be used as a discussion, so this means it wont actually be uploaded to the tinternet.

 

[Thorondorito]

VIDEO.URL="filename" must be changed.

Try to put there the location of your mp3 file.

Was that a joke or a serious post?

Laddey fails at internets.

Agree'd! HTML coding isn't my greatest thing.


FHOT fails at coding by the looks of it, useless! THE LOT OF YOU!!!!!!!!

 

[old.Tohtori]

useless! THE LOT OF YOU!!!!!!!!

If you're good enough to put a website up and not good enough ot notice VIDEO.URL="filename"; and go "hmm, i think filename might mean a file..name..." then i don't think there's much help here to be had.

Thats what i said further up.

So 2 questions in this thread.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Try the url of your song on that "filename" bit and see?

I think video doesn't mean "video" in this instance.

Ok, but do i have to upload the song to the internet or on my HDD?

VIDEO.URL="filename" must be changed.

Try to put there the location of your mp3 file.

Sounds like on the HDD there & you said the URL of my song. So, you all fail!

It would be best to upload them all because your link will be pointing to an exact location. This would allow you to view the site on any machine.

If you pull it from your Hard Drive you would need to either use the same PC all the time, or copy the music files into the same location on any PC you use.

Im spreading as fast as i can!

As you are doing this in Frontpage, you dont need to actually upload this onto the web. You could run the website straight off the local client. Is this what you will be doing?

 

[Sharma]

If it's a video, why not just Youtube it and copy the embedding tags it provides?

Massive headache averted and less bandwidth cost.

Yeah, why the fuck do the college provide us with a tutor who knows fuck all, really, he knows shite all.

This is what i was thinking!!!

Welldone sharmer, great minds think alike!

 

[old.Tohtori]

I thought it was clear that URL meant the net, not HDD.

But...guess not.

And if it's a video, why talk about something else?

"Video" refers to the Media Player Control :

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="your file or url">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>

This is treated pretty much as a Class, hence you have to give values to it's properties (one of them it's the Url one).
If you point it to a video it'll play a video, if u point it to a song, it'll play a song

When he said location typically i think he means location on your HDD, if it was on the internet he would clearly state URL. Thats what i thought anyway.

Thanks Gayn!

Get out my thread!!
