Hi,

Refer this thread for Web-based URL iViews for playing music

this is standard code for embedding windows media palyer which should be installed on pretty well all windows machines. you just replace YOUR_FILENAME with the URL of the videos you want to play.

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"

standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."

type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="YOUR_FILENAME">

<PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="1">

<PARAM NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="1">

<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="1">

<PARAM NAME="AutoSize" VALUE="1">

<Embed type="application/x-mplayer2"

pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx/"

filename="YOUR_FILENAME"

src="YOUR_FILENAME"

Name=MediaPlayer

ShowControls=1

ShowDisplay=1

ShowStatusBar=1

width=320

height=240>

</embed>

</OBJECT>

Hi,

There are 2 possibilities.

1) Try to create a link whose url points to some video file. I haven't tried it but have a check. Got idea from this thread.

2) In case u use KM, u can upload the video file and try creating KM Document iView and check if it runs the video. Haven't tried that. Check this also.

Hi Harini,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I want to play it in the Portal without uploading it in the KM. Please let me know the possibilities for that.

Thanks
