Problem with Embedded Media Player

[the_beav]

Trying to convince my school to switch their streaming server to a shoutcast-based solution. They are real big on having the stream embedded in the web page with Windows Media player. In order to demonstrate to them that this can be done, I've tried setting up an embedded deal using my personal stream and am having some issues.

I scanned all the threads here regarding setting this (great info btw) and got my asx file all set. The asx file seems solid...if I open it locally on my computer, or link to it, it plays no problem. (http://www.guerillaradio.us/radio.asx)

code:


<asx version="3.0">

  <title>GuerillaRadio.us</title>

</asx>

I then used the on-line tool at CasterClub to generate the embed code, which is here http://www.guerillaradio.us/listen.htm. It picks up the title and artist info, so it seems close. But the connection just closes right away.

Have I missed something obvious here? (Probably, heh)

http://www.guerillaradio.us/listen.htm works in IE 5.5 but not Mozilla Firebird 0.7

You may need to alter this value to get the stream to autostart:
<param name="AutoStart" value="0">

Are you saying that the stream connected and played in IE 5.5? I'm using IE6 here and it just closes right away. If I hit "Play", it tries to connect again and immediately closes. Right now, I'd be happy to just get it working in IE!

Thanks.

The stream does not connect automatically with IE 5.5.
I need to press play.

[the_beav]

Ok, gotcha. I must have an IE6 specific issue here then, still not connecting at all. Any ideas on that? (Media Player 8 installed.)

Try updating WMP to 9.x

[ruffdawg]

Upgrading is a big thing. Ive had ppl that cant tune into my ASX via lower 7.1. Although you may want to test the ASX without the embedded player. Plz post again w/ results

[Swiftie]

I'm in a predicament where only people with WMP9 can listen to the windows media embedded player. Aint there any other way to get any of the lower versions of WMP to work without having to upgrade??

Most likely a futile effort.

Hey I'm trying to do the same thing I think. What I'm trying to do is have a embedded media player on a webpage that plays my station (http://69.211.88.95:8000/listen.pls) and I saw the code he used and i tried to use the same thing for mine cause I've never done this before. I used the code for a .asx like he did but changed the stuff like the address of the station and the name. Then I went to that website he said to get the embedded media player code and put if on my site but it connects when the page opens and then closes and the error reports says "Source Filter was not found" and I dont know if this is a problem with the .asx code i used or the media player embedding code i used both are below....Please help!!!
