HTML way, make sure when u install VLC, u install Mozilla plug-in or ActiveX control stuff for (FF, IE or Chrome)

Thank you for your help.
On my site I am embedding youtube videos. Where the video is suppose to be it isn't showing up, in chrome. It works on a macs and it also works on PCs, but only on firefox. Where the video is suppose to be you can "click" on the video and it will start playing, but it is not visible. How do I get it to show up. I thought it might be hiding behind stuff, so I messed with some z-index stuff, but it isn't working. Is there something else I should be looking at?
This is how the code is:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="myytplayer" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/FJqOb-TS-0o&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer&version=3&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0" width="500" height="348">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
</object>
The video is being pulled from my data base, but is being hosted by YouTube.
Here is the code on firefox:
<object id="myytplayer" width="500" height="348" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/FJqOb-TS-0o&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer&version=3&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
</object>
I have tried updating my flash drives to see if that is a problem. I have deleted my cookies. I have even had other people try it out and it just doesn't show up in chrome. Any help would be awesome.
Both your snippet of codes works fine in my Chrome 34 Windows 8.1 machine. Not sure where your issue is coming from. Maybe a system/network/proxy settings specific to Chrome on machines where you are trying from (sometimes Youtube URL are banned from company network).
I would point to the Youtube documentation anyway. Maybe trying another form of embed can help:
Best practice: IFrame embeds are the recommended method for embedding a YouTube player because the IFrame will select the appropriate player based on the client's capabilities and available YouTube file formats.
If you use the object tag you should have an embed tag falback inside (see the doc).
I am using the following code to embed an mp3 file into my html document:
<embed src="aharddaysnight.mp3" width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE"></embed>
In IE, this works fine, as an mp3 player with controls automatically shows up.
In FireFox, however, a pop-up appears that says additional plug-ins are needed. When I click on the option to install additional plug-in, it doesn't allow me to because of a security certificate error.
In Chrome, the player shows up, but the media starts playing automatically, even though the code says autostart "false".
Does anyone have a better way to embed mp3, or a fix to this problem?
I have tested this in Chrome and Firefox and works in both, with the fall back. However if it is a long file, like the 2 hour audio I am trying it stops playing. Hopefully it will help you and I will keep looking for my fix.
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="yourURL.mp3" />
<source src="yourURL.ogg" />
<!-- fallback -->
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
flashvars="audioUrl=yourURL.mp3"
src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf"
width="650? height="0? quality="best"></embed>
</audio>`
Try this
type="audio/mpeg"
OR
type="audio/midi"
please any one can tell me video format that play on any browser , with play/pause/stop buttons? i have the following code for .swf but i cant get any button to control.
<object width="400" height="40"
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/
pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">
<param name="SRC" value="bookmark.swf">
<embed src="bookmark.swf" width="400" height="40"></embed>
</object>
You may want to take a look at something like jPlayer.
The current trend is to use HTML5 video to embed a player which is widely supported and does not require flash. This is particularly useful for devices such as the iPad/iPhone.
For browsers that do not support HTML, the pattern is to failover to a flash based version.
jPlayer handles a lot of this for you.
It will work if flash is instaled.
You can use Flash components to quickly setup a video player with controls
The HTML5 video tag is supported in all major browsers.(in Internet Explorer: from version 9) You can give that a try.
How to play video file in webrowser without installing any player software in the remote computer? I think this is on fly video playing concept and lots of sites using this
I'm using VLC media player to play video on the browser. Is there any way so that I can play video on the remote browser without installing any software.
Maybe I can tell them to install plugins for that?

Nope, there isn't. You will always need video playing capability on the client side. (Well, short of turning the videos into Animated GIFs, but that is madness.)
The best supported Video embedding methods are Flash Video and HTML 5 Video. See this SO question for detailed information on the two.
use this code in any control to play video
<video controls="controls" id="id1" width="200" height="200">
<source src="movie/show.mp4" />
</video>
In my company we link our site to videos provided by a partner company. They changed their video encoding from .FLV to .MP4 videos and the current video player on our site doesn't playe them. We changed it to Windows Media Player given that most of our customers are running windows and internet explorer, the embed code we used is this one:
<object>
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
name="VideoPlayer" ShowStatusBar="false"
EnableContextMenu="false" autostart="true"
width="426" height="285" loop="false"
src=[video_url] />
</object>
I see the WMPlayer displayed on the site and the video plays, but my clients only see the player displayed and the video doesn't play. We updated our clients flash plugin and still nothing. What could be the problem?
You need to install additional codecs on the client machine. There are numerous codec packs for that (search google). You can't do it automatically from a browser either as it requires an installer to run.
WMP is a pretty crappy solution anyways since you're basically screwing over anyone who visits your site with a Mac or Linux computer. There are numerous other ways to play MP4 including via Flash but also using new HTML5 features.
We ended up using Flow Player
