What can this extension do?

This extension will embed a Windows Media Player activex object using the

 <OBJECT ID=\"WMP7\" CLASSID=\"CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6\">

function to embed the Windows Media Player ActiveX control. It requires the client to have Windows Media Player (at least version 7 or 9, not sure which). It you can specify size, source, full screen, and all sorts of things. It will play WMA and WMV files, and possibly more. It supports the MMS (streaming via Windows Media Services for the Windows Server system) and HTTP (progressive download streaming) protocols. Your server DOES NOT have to have Windows, IIS, or even Windows Media Player, only the client's computer needs to have Windows Media Player. In other words this should work on Linux or Windows or Mac, with Apache or IIS or anyother web server as long as PHP and MediaWiki are installed properly. I assume that PHP 5 is required, it was tested on PHP 5.3 however so versions below that are not known to me. Please report problems in the discussion area.

Usage

Minimum options example:

<mms>File.wmv</mms>

All options example:

<mms baseurl="http://foo.com" autoplay="true" w="640px" h="480px" stretch="true" point="folder/folder/" full="true">File.wmv</mms>

baseurl="webaddress"

allows you to specify a url other than your default....if you so choose

autoplay="boolean"

(defaults to false)

w="#px%"

(defaults to 640px) width, use px if you whish to specify as pixels or % if you whish to specify as a percentage of your screen size

h="#px%"

(defaults to 480px) height, use px if you whish to specify as pixels or % if you whish to specify as a percentage of your screen size

stretch="boolean"

(defaults to true)

point="folder path not beginning with '/'"

defaults to the root of your base url so if you want to play mms://mms.bntbtc.com/Festiva/File.wmv" than assuming your baseurl is "mms://mms.bntbtc.com" and point is "Festiva/", if your default is path is something else you could change the default path below on the line that says

$point "/"

to

$point = "your/path/here"

full="boolean"

allows or disallows full screen
