Actually it would be better to show your code as it seems to be working fine on your pc. Probably you are playing a file like c:\myvideos\somevideo.wmv

But on a server you should not provide a hardware path but relative path or a direct url to your video instead. Like:

/videos/myvideo.wmv or http://www.somesite.com/videos/myvideo.wmv

for example.

 hi....

user has to upload video at the time of registration..the uploaded video will stored on USERVIDEOS folder with his name on solution explorer..when he login into his account i want to show his uploaded video. from the folder....its working in my local pc...

  string myObjectTag = "";
        try
        {            
            sourceUrl = sourceUrl + "";
            sourceUrl = sourceUrl.Trim();

            if (sourceUrl.Length <= 0)
                throw new System.ArgumentNullException("sourceUrl");

            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<object type='video/x-ms-wmv' data='" + sourceUrl + "' width='320px' height='240px'/>";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + " <param name='src' value='" + sourceUrl + "' valuetype='ref' type='http://mydomain.com/video.wmv'/>";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='animationatStart' value='1'> />";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + " <param name='transparentatStart' value='1'> />";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='showcontrols' value='1' />"; //Show play/stop/pause controls.
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='loop' value='0'/>";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='autoStart' value='1'/>";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='fullscreen' value='" + isFullSize.ToString() + "' />"; //Start in full screen or not.

            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<param name='showdisplay' value='0' />"; //Show or hide the name of the file.
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "<EMBED type='video/x-ms-wmv' width='320px' height='240px' showcontrols='1' showdisplay='1' showstatusbar='1'  autostart='False''" + sourceUrl + "' enabled='True' balance='0' currentPosition='0' enableContextMenu='True' fullScreen='False' mute='False' playCount='1' rate='1' stretchTofit='False' uiMode='3'/>";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + " <strong>Error:</strong> Embedding <a href='" + sourceUrl + "'</a> with the  Windows Media Plugin</a> />";
            myObjectTag = myObjectTag + "</object>";
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            lblErrMsg.Text = ex.Message;
        }
        return myObjectTag;
    }

Hi,

how does sourceurl look like? Can you give some examples when you do a view source of the rendered page (deployed on your server where it doesn't work) ?

Grz, Kris.

 in the source url im getting the path .....i.e....

..........\Uservideos\ username\sumvideo.wmv

Hi,

actually it was the ....... that I was interested in since I think it's something like c:\somefolder\someotherfolder\uservideos\.... right?

Ok, if that's the case change it as it's not going to work. You need a path like

/Uservideos/username/sumvideo.wmv

for example instead.

Or like

http://www.somesite.com/Uservideos/username/sumvideo.wmv

Try it out on your site with the correct relative paths filled in properly and it should normally work.

Grz, Kris.

 that is in my website.....the uservideos folder is creating at the time of registration in my solution explorer....

when im retreving the path is......c://mywebsitename/UserVideosfolder/Usernamefolder/clock.wmv 

Hi,

sneha23:

.c://mywebsitename/UserVideosfolder/Usernamefolder/clock.wmv 

Yes, and that's wrong like I already said.

 Ok, then change the paths like this (depending on where your folder UserVideosfolder is you'll need to add or remove the first / character)

/UserVideosfolder/Usernamefolder/clock.wmv

Grz, Kris.
