All that I get is a blank little window. -- Neredbojias Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

Actually the page I gave is just part of a set of pages that can be reached at http://www.cwdjr.info/media/playersRoot.php . Links to the external script, php text, etc are given near the bottom of the page under the description of the scripted WMP embedded player. I have been working on a new section for several embedded broadband video formats, and this will be added sometime in the future. At that time I might revise older parts of the page set somewhat. However, I should note that one can use the basic WMP player, without a lot of fancy stuff and without script, to play a .wax playlist which can contain a mixture of several audio formats supported by the WMP. The link at the extreme upper left of the page referenced is such an enbedded example.

Yes, your page does require that flash be installed on the computer. I was able to download your file with the extension .swf which shows the player. It of course will not work offline as it needs to be on your site to have access to the music. I also downloaded a free trial of a program to be put on the server for streaming mp3s or certain video formats that you also have on the server. What it actually does is convert your media to a flash format and adds some player chrome and playlists. It too requires flash on a browser to be viewed. It used awful code for the flash that included the dual ActiveX-embed paths, so I was not interested in it. I then looked at Google's new video service for their free videos. If you view the video online, you must have flash installed. However Google has a special player which you may download fairly rapidly. You may also download the videos as a Google .gvp file. However the .gvp file is just a link to the actual video file at Google, and the computer must be online when you use the Google player. If you open Opera and have it open a Google .gvp file, it gives you a short file that includes a URL for an .avi file. If you follow this URL, you can download the .avi. It can be huge - about 60MB for 15 minutes in one case. There are several variations of avi files, and not all types will play on all players. This avi could not be opened by the WMP. It could be opened by a player that comes with Nero, but there was only video with missing sound. However if you use Xilisoft to convert the avi to ..wmv format, the resulting .wmv would play correctly on the WMP. Of course for the videos that Google sells, everything is highly encrypted and you can not download the complete video in any format without paying. I now wonder if it is more likely that a computer would have a WMP player installed or flash installed, as it appears the methods I examined required at least some player be installed. For now I plan to stick to streaming multiple files using a .wax and/or .ram file which can contain a playlist of several songs.

My original issue was to convert from m3u-playlist to xml-playlist. The player I have is excellent and I have no intention to go into your complicated descriptions. So, if you have any tip for me, thank you. Ralph |
