So, I'm simply trying to embed an mms:// sent video in a page, that doesn't autostart. Seems simple enough, right? Here's my code:
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="mms://wm.tvworldwide.com/nlc/psa/nlc_inclusive_communities_program_psa_3.wmv">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="mms://wm.tvworldwide.com/nlc/psa/nlc_inclusive_communities_program_psa_3.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Problem is, in most Firefox browsers, not only does it not autostart, but it also doesn't show the controls (they flicker on and go away). Even though "ShowControls" is set to "true" and "1". They'll show by doing one of three things: (1) changing the autostart to 1/true, (2) changing the video source to something other than mms:// (this only happens with mms://) or (3) expanding the size a great deal vertically, where apparently the control bar is hiding beneath.
Anyone know what's going on here? I didn't see a ticket in for it at Mozilla.
*** P.S. Oddly enough, it works perfectly in my Firefox, but seems to fail almost everywhere else. We have the same version of Firefox and the same version of Windows Media Player, so I can't figure out why mine is different. ***
