  how to get video to play in the browser

  Mar 02, 2012 05:07 AM|LINK

  I have .mp4 file store in a folder in my app called "Videos". I've tried getting this to work with html5, silverlight, and windows media player. I can not get the .mp4 files to play. What is odd is that I can get a .wmv file to play. Here is what I've tried in my view

  
  
  @{ var param3 = "http://localhost:56670/Videos/" + @Model.Path;}
  
  <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
    <source src=@param3 type="video/mp4" />
    <source src=@param3 type="video/ogg" />
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>
  
  
  /////////////////
  
          @{ var playerPath = @Url.Content("~/Videos/VideoPlayer.xap");
                 
  
              }
          @{ var param = "mediaUrl=http://localhost:56670/Videos/" + @Model.Path; }
          @{ var param2 = "mediaUrl=" + @Request.UrlReferrer + "Videos/" + @Model.Path; }
          @Video.Silverlight(
          path: playerPath,
          width: "400",
          height: "420",
          bgColor: "red",
          autoUpgrade: true,
          initParameters: param
          )
  
  
  /////////////
  
  <object type="application/x-silverlight-2" data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," width="512" height="288">
                  <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50401.0"/>
                  <param name="source" value=@playerPath/>
                  <param name="initParams" value=@param2/>
              </object>
  
  
  
  I can't seem to get any of these to work. Any help on what I'm doing wrong?
  thanks

  1.

  var param3 = "http://localhost:56670/Videos/" + @Model.Path

  This should be Server,MapPath("~/Videos/")

  2.

  ironman99

  var playerPath = @Url.Content("~/Videos/VideoPlayer.xap")

  Does your xap play .mp4 files?

  This should be Server,MapPath("~/Videos/")

  This gives me a path like this "c:\\users\\.....\\desktop\\appname\\Videos\\filename.mp4  "

  this doesn't work either.

  You did not do the xap file? From where did you get?
