I need to embed a video file codified in Windows Media Video format (WMV). The video files are send in streaming using Windows Media Services(in on Demand Mode) over HTTP protocol, and the client need to reproduce them.
I need to dinamically create a page with a video file embedded (each time the file and its path can change).
If I simply put in browser client the path of the file to reproduce, like:
http://myMediaServer:8000/stremVideo/pinball.wmv
automatically Windows Media Player opens, and I can control the reproduction of the video (seek forward, seek backward, pause or resume), without any problem, while if the video file is embedded in an HTML page, using the following code I can't seek the reproduction but I can only pause and resume the video.

</object>
So, the questions are the following:
How can I obtain all the control for the embedded video file?
Someone suggest to use Silverlight plugin. How can I embed video in a HTML page using Silverlight plugin? I need to create a Silverlight application? If yes, I need to have one application for each video file I want reproduce?
You need to create one Silverlight player app and use it as more times as you want.
And you can control it via JS.
Silverlight is best solution for high-quality WMV on pages.
Params, which you defined, are params of Silverlight app and you must specify in app which params you must have and how they will be used.
There is an open source player frame work which may help: Have you looked at this? http://playerframework.codeplex.com/

I am trying to embed some s3 WMV file urls in my html page, but the code below is not working.

I think this may be because nearly every browser does not support WMV as a type of file. Aside from IE, this type of format is unlikely to be compatible with most browsers.
Find an online file converter which the file format to WMV to Mp4 or something else.
This might help:

As L.S said most web browsers do not support WMV files, however services like https://vid.me/ allow for you to upload WMV files for free and using their embed code you may be able to resolve this issue.
Hope this helps!
I've got a webpage which works with a MySQLi DB (this is a private website just for our company and it is not something global). Now, I want to upload some videos on server (and not on the DB) and put their links on the website. Now, here is my question: How can I make browser to open Windows Media Player (after clicking on each link by a user) and play the video on the computer, and not on the browser??
As a matter of fact, I do not want the browser to show my videos to users, I want each user to watch videos by Windows Media Player on their computers.
I think a simple should work in your html
video link
I video should download, depending on your users prefrences the video may open after its finished downloading... you can't force this
If you want stream then this embed should work:
<object id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285"
classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'
codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
<param name='fileName' value="http://www.yoursite.com/your-video.wmv">
<param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
<param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
<param name='autoStart' value="false">
<param name='showControls' value="true">
<param name='loop' value="true">
<embed type='application/x-mplayer2'
pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1'
bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1'
showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285"
src="http://www.yoursite.com/your-video.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true">
</embed>
</object>
Note:
You would be better off using html5 tags and converting to mp4 - not that many people use windows media player these days
I would like to embed a video stream from an IP camera into a website.
The URL for this stream looks like this:
rtsp://my.camera.com/axis-media/media.amp
If I open the stream in VLC it is working fine.
I have tried to use stuff from here but nothing is working:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin
It can be done with VLC or Quicktime but the actual problem your most likely experiencing is that web browsers have stopped suporting the VLC and Quicktime plugins. At time of writing this reply only Firefox still supports this plugin.
This also means you need VLC or Quicktime installed on your PC (Which I gather you have since it plays the steam in VLC).
Try Firefox for now to see if your stream works.
If it asks to Activate the VLC / Quicktime plugin click Allow or Allow and remember.
When using VLC the HTML Code in your website should resemble this:
<div id="cctv-container">
<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab" id="vlc" events="True" width="640" height="480">
<param name="Src" value="rtsp://my.camera.com/axis-media/media.amp"/>
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="True"/>
<param name="AutoLoop" value="False"/>
<param name="AutoPlay" value="True"/>
<embed id="vlcEmb" type="application/x-google-vlc-plugin" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" autoplay="yes" loop="no" target="rtsp://my.camera.com/axis-media/media.amp" width="640" height="480"/>
</object>
</div>
The only way at present to have it stream in Chrome or IE is to have VLC transcode the RSTP stream for you to a HTML5 supported stream.
Here is a sample VLC command to do just that:
vlc rtsp://my.camera.com/axis-media/media.amp :network-caching=1000 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=1600,scale=1,acodec=none}:http{mux=ogg,dst=:8181/stream} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :sout-keep
The new output stream can then be embedded in a HTML5 shim:
You can obviously change the port or encoding type as you see fit e.g.
:http{mux=flv,dst=:1234/stream}
I have an embed code that plays streaming video:
<object width="640" height="480" id="qt" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="MY STREAM URL">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<embed id="plejer" name="plejer" src="/poster.mov" bgcolor="000000" width="640" height="480" scale="ASPECT" qtsrc="MY STREAM URL" href="MY STREAM URL" kioskmode="true" showlogo=false" autoplay="true" controller="false" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</embed></object>
The embed works as expected in Chrome. However in FireFox(3.6) and IE(9) I get a quicktime logo. I've checked my quicktime player prefs and I don't see a streaming or sdp option in the mime options.
Any ideas why I'm seeing this issue?
Your embed tag is set up to initially display a "poster" video (at /poster.mov, and then change to the stream when its clicked on. The object tag isn't (and also skips many of the parameters you're including in the embed). The general idea with these embed inside object schemes (particularly with QuickTime) is to pass the same parameters in both tags, the object covering IE, the embed covering basically everybody else. – John Flatness
I would think there would be a simple param for embedded videos to show a volume control but I cannot seem to find anything except stuff on controlling the systems volume using jquery. Is there a way to just enable the built in volume control of an embedded video?
If I use this code to embed the video is there a way to enable the volume control of the player?

yes there is. and apparently you added it for two players. i dunno whether the parametes are correct, but this embedding teqnique is really out of date and will not be supported for as many clients as video could be.
you should check out the html5 video tag, the next best alternative (imo) is flash.
