Windows Media Player in FireFox
I've been working on this script for the past week and it works great in IE and NS, but doesnt work in Firefox or Opera. Can you give the script a look over and tell me what i've been doing wrong. I think it has something to do with the <embed> and the JavaScript.
Thanks a bunch. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin var playstate = 1; shuffle = 0; // set to 0 to always play first video in list // set to 1 to randomly choose the first video to play videos=new Array(); videos[0]="archive/DSUEP1.wmv"; videos[1]="archive/DSR.EP2.wmv"; videos[2]="archive/DSR.EP3.wmv"; videos[3]="archive/DSR.EP4.wmv"; videos[4]="archive/DSR.EP5.wmv"; if (shuffle == 1) { var randsg = Math.floor(Math.random()*videos.length); document.dsrmotion.FileName = videos[randsg]; document.dsrmotion.scr = videos[randsg]; document.forms['form'].playlist.options[randsg].selected = true; } function play(list) { if (playstate == 2) { document.dsrmotion.Play(); } else { var snum = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value document.dsrmotion.FileName = videos[snum]; document.dsrmotion.scr = videos[snum]; } playstate = 1; } // End --> </Script> <object width="220" height="160" id="dsrmotion" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" type="application/x-oleobject" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"> <param name value> <param name="ShowControls" value="0"> <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0"> <param name="ShowDisplay" value="0"> <param name="DefaultFrame" value="Slide"> <param name="Autostart" value="1"> <param name="Loop" value="False"> <embed width="220" height="160" id="dsrmotion" type="video/x-ms-asf-plugin" transparentatstart="true" SendOpenStateChangeEvents="true" showstatusbar="1" showdisplay="0" autosize="0" autorewind="0" animationstart="0" autostart="0" showcontrols="0"> </object> <form name="form"> <select style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; BACKGROUND:#transparent; WIDTH: 150px; COLOR: #33666; font-face: verdana" name="playlist" size="1"> <option value="0">Video 1</option> <option value="1">Video 2</option> <option value="2">Video 3</option> <option value="3">Video 4</option> <option value="4">Video 5</option> </select><br> <img TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="darkplay" VALUE="play" TITLE="Play" OnClick="play(document.forms['form'].playlist);" src="images/playbutton.jpg" width="27" height="26"> <img TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="darkpause" VALUE="pause" TITLE="Pause" onClick="document.dsrmotion.Pause(); playstate=2;" src="images/pausebutton.jpg" width="30" height="26"> <img TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="darkstop" VALUE="stop" TITLE="Stop" OnClick="document.dsrmotion.Stop(); playstate=2;" src="images/stopbutton.jpg" width="27" height="26"> </form> |

It looks like one of your tags is calling an ActiveX control.
One of Firefox's "key features" is it's ability to NOT use ActiveX controls =) I doubt there's anything malicious with the MediaPlayer control, but there are often malicious ActiveX controls written by some bad-natured programmer. After Google'ing, I did find a way to get controls to work in Firefox, but your user has to do it... there's nothign you can do from a website perspective that will allow this to work. Read a solution here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213 Aside from this, it is my understanding that Firefox doesn't co-operate with ActiveX controls. |

ActiveX plugins can be installed in FireFox [Clicky...], but still, you'd
be better off offering your content in more than one format, i.e. have it as a .rm or .mov as well as your .wmv, and then ask the user what type of player they want to use, and load it accordingly. |
