Streaming Media

[mycomputerfund]

ok to start, im a newb to css/html, im mainly familiar with c++/java.

i am trying to insert a WMP streaming video in myspace..... (not that important but im sure i will be able to reproduce results in productive projects).

the streaming video is from nhl.com with the url of "http://www.nhl.com/video/app?page=GameHighlights&service=page&gid=662&gtid=2&media=/20052006/02/0662/IH_NHL_2005_2006_662_2_700K_continuous.wmv"

ive researched methods on inserting it on a page and have come up with this.....

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="400" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www2.nhl.com/video/app?page=ASX&amp;service=page&amp;media=/20052006/02/0662/IH_NHL_2005_2006_662_2_700K_continuous.wmv">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://www2.nhl.com/video/app?page=ASX&amp;service=page&amp;media=/20052006/02/0662/IH_NHL_2005_2006_662_2_700K_continuous.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="400" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="1" autostart="1"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>


now when i view it, it works for me, even tho i see the "="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="400" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"..... and so on as TEXT not in the html itself. but when i have others look at it they say they see the wmp but nothing plays.... im stuck.

btw my myspace url is
http://www.myspace.com/l337zimmer

ty for any input!!!!!!

I don't expect that there would be any problem with the code, but I refuse o go to any site affiliated with MySpace, so I wouldn't know why this would create an error.

Maybe you can do some little research. As far as I know, Myspace is particular on what type the embedded object belongs to.

I've also added a myspace mp3 player (http://www.profilepitstop.com/mp3_players/) in my profile, and it does work. as a suggestion, maybe you can use it too.
