Description

Creates an in-built media player that lets you play videos in any format supported by HTML 5 compliant browsers in addition to FLV, MPEG-3, and MPEG-4 files. FLV files can be played from any web server. You can play MPEG-3/MPEG-4 only from Flash Media Server using RTMP. You can also play audio files of MP3 format.

Example

In this example, the FLV file is stored in the web root used by the ColdFusion server. You need to store an FLV file - mediafile.flv in the location _web_root__xyz_. You can now create the media player with the following content:

<h3>cfmediaplayer Example</h3>

<cfmediaplayer

name="Myvideo"

source="/xyz/mediafile.flv"

width=500

height=400

align="center"

quality="high"

fullscreencontrol="true"/>

<h3>cfmediaplayer Example</h3> <cfmediaplayer name="Myvideo" source="/xyz/mediafile.flv" width=500 height=400 align="center" quality="high" fullscreencontrol="true"/>

<h3>cfmediaplayer Example</h3> 
<cfmediaplayer 
name="Myvideo" 
source="/xyz/mediafile.flv" 
width=500 
height=400 
align="center" 
quality="high" 
fullscreencontrol="true"/>

The following code illustrates styling of the media player:

<cfmediaplayer name="player2" style="bgcolor:#bgColorTheme#;

titletextcolor:#titleColorTheme#;titlebgcolor:#bgColorTheme#;controlbarbgcolor:

#bgColorTheme#;controlscolor:#controlsColorTheme#;progressbgcolor:#progressbg

ColorTheme#;progresscolor:#progressColorTheme#;borderleft:20;borderright:20;

bordertop:10;borderbottom:13" hideborder="false" hideTitle=false controlbar="true" source="#defaultFlvfile#">

<cfset bgColorTheme = "EDC393"> 
<cfset titleColorTheme = "800517"> 
<cfset controlsColorTheme = titleColorTheme> 
<cfset progressColorTheme = "E67451"> 
<cfset progressbgColorTheme = "FFF8C6"> 
<cfmediaplayer name="player2" style="bgcolor:#bgColorTheme#; 
titletextcolor:#titleColorTheme#;titlebgcolor:#bgColorTheme#;controlbarbgcolor:
#bgColorTheme#;controlscolor:#controlsColorTheme#;progressbgcolor:#progressbg
ColorTheme#;progresscolor:#progressColorTheme#;borderleft:20;borderright:20;
