    I recently just created a site and embedded a video on it, I tried to access it using the library's pc with Vista on it.

    And to my surprise the video doesn't work?

    According to this article:
    http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/mi...-cannot-play-some-embedded-windows-media.html

    a tag is needed?

    Can someone help me modify this code to include a tag?

    
    <object id="Player" name="Player" width="550" height="330" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" standby="Loading Video..." type="application/x-oleobject">
    <param name="URL" value="video.wmv">
    
    <param name="AllowChangeDisplaySize" value="True">
    <param name="AutoSize" value="False">
    <param name="DisplaySize" value=0>
    <param name="ShowControls" value="True">
    <param name="showstatusbar" value="True">
    <param name="AutoRewind" value="True">
    <param name="autoStart" value="false">
    <embed name="Player" src="video.wmv" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="550" height="330" ShowStatusBar="1" AutoSize="true" AutoStart="false" loop="true" DisplaySize="0" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/">
    </embed>
    </object>

    Try changing the value of "video.wmp" to your whole site (IE: http://www.yoursite.com/video.wmp)

    It should look like this

    <param name="URL" value="http://www.yoursite.com/video.wmp">

    And not

    <param name="URL" value="video.wmp">

    Im thinking maybe it cant find the specified location for some reason....

    I hope this works,please let us know :)
