simple help needed with html media player & streaming

 

I simply want 2 stream on my website
i found a standard wmp in html-player inserts fine+shows on page buttons work etc

but i simply cannot play anything on it
in the player html(i looked at several) all have a section roughly sayin the same
"insert media file path or stream url here"

inbetween " & " -then delete the insert media file path or stream url here bit

infuriatingly NONE of these html players hav 1 iota of instruction
do you insert+remove "" do you put the full url?
if url is
wwwdotwatchingfruitbatsmatingdotcom/2725

do you insert the WHOLE url? a portion
given html can be the difference of 1 charactor between success+failure it beggars belief that there are no instructions
have posted the few i tried below-thanks in advancve if anyone can help me,cheers

1st one was this
<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"

Re: simple help needed with html media player & streaming

 

The major problem is that you try to insert Flash stream URLs into Windows Media player. Why do you expect this to work? You need a flash player. And you need to learn how to find stream URLs with say Grab++ and then use them with a flash player.


Why spending hours onto this when you can just outsource your project via a freelance marketplace? This will allows you to hire a professional from the U.S., Canada, India, Russia,.... And it won't be expensive at all.

If you want to learn this, you should start from the basics of HTML and Javascript.
