If by a "video module" you mean you want to show video in a vbadvanced module, try this:

http://www.bostonlove.org/index.php?page=cams

I've set up an embedded object to automatically play a video file in the top module and set up IFRAMEs below to point to some online web cams.

For the video, add a template called adv_portal_video1

In that template, put the following:

Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] REPLACE THIS WITH THE NAME OF THIS BLOCK </span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
		<div align="center">
		<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">
		<param name="FileName" value="path\to\your\video.avi">
		<param name="autoStart" value="true">
		<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://www.yoururl.com/path/to/your/video.avi"
		    name="MediaPlayer"
		    autostart=1
		    width=320
		    height=240>
		</embed>
		</object>
                </div>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" align="center"><span class="smallfont">REPLACE WITH FOOTER TEXT OR REMOVE THIS</span></td>

	</tr>
</table>
<br />

Notice the various parameters of the mediaplayer object:
In this example, the video automatically starts playing and is set to play at a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Also, don't forget to place the path to your file in both places.

Now add a module and name it whatever you wish.
Add the template, (ie. video1) and add it to your page.

Cheers!

LEAD_WEIGHT · #11 05-21-2005, 11:38 AM

Try placing exact path from your server url link.
I got this @ my site http://www.theundergroundsource.com/ but have no videos but I test it with a video link & it does work.

Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Musician of the Month </span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
		<div align="center">
		<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">

fLoW · #14 05-22-2005, 08:04 AM

Another thing Lead W.. how do u do that banner module that u have at the bottom of ur page...?

10ox37 · #15 05-23-2005, 07:58 PM

very cool. thanks.

Is there a way to make it so the video doesnt start by itself? So you have to hit the play button for it to work.

Yes, a play button is on the WMP.

LEAD_WEIGHT · #17 05-24-2005, 09:56 AM

U need exact path for your videos to make it work. I only assume that this is your path.

1 : http://www.mipage.com/myvideos/guanabana.mpeg
2 : http://www.mipage.com/forums/myvideos/guanabana.mpeg
3 : or what ever it is. U can find out in your File Manager & click on where the video is exactly & it should give u a url link

Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Musician of the Month </span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
		<div align="center">
		<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">
		<param name="FileName" value="path\to\your\video.avi">
		<param name="autoStart" value="true">
		<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://www.mipage.com/myvideos/guanabana.mpeg"
		    name="MediaPlayer"
		    autostart=1
		    width=320
		    height=240>
		</embed>
		</object>
                </div>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" align="center"><span class="smallfont">MiWebpage.Com</span></td>

	</tr>
</table>
<br />

The problem is that I dont have to hit the play button. The video starts all buy itself without me hitting the button and I dont want it to do that.

Regs · #19 05-24-2005, 01:26 PM

Try changing the autostart parameter from "true" to "false" (for WMP) and from 1 to 0 (for the other player)

That should do the trick. I think.

Good luck!
