Embedded WMP player for your website (works with shoutcast)

[Gavin]

A few people has asked about embedding their stream onto a HMTL page. To do that, enter the followin script where you want the player to be displayed.

<object enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true"
allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal"
type="application/x-mplayer2" classid="6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" height="50" width="225" style="FILTER: gray">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="InvokeURLs" value="0" />
<param name="fileName" value="http://mixstream.net/stream/SERVERID/listen.asx" />
<param name="URL" value="http://mixstream.net/stream/SERVERID/listen.asx" />
<param name="src" value="http://mixstream.net/stream/SERVERID/listen.asx" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="true" />
<param name="uimode" value="full" />
<param name="autostart" value="1" />
<param name="playcount" value="9999" />
</object>

To change the stream that plays to your own server, change the URLs shown in red.

To enable or disable automatic play on page load, either put 1 or 0 for autostart (shown as green)

This player will work on MySpace pages.

I would like to ask this.
Are there different versions of the embedded Windows Media Player?
I have at least 2 examples of people with Win XP that are not genuine. They have Windows Media Player 9. When they go to my site to listen, they are prompted to upgrade Win Media Player to the latest version (otherwise it doesn't play). But they cannot upgrade, because they have non-genuine WinXP, so they cant listen.

Is there any "old" piece of code for the embedded WMP, that plays on WinXP systems with WMP version 9 or 10?

Thank you.

Hello,

As far as I'm aware then code above should just use the version that the listener has installed, although I'll have to look in to that.

I believe that WMP 9 should be able to support shoutcast streams, does it work when you use an ASX file for them to tune in with?

That's strange, I'll look in to this and try to find a more compatible script.
