Hi video-gurus,

Could you please give me an advice of which "video-player" (some SW) to use for the following task on FC12_64 ?

(1) I need to create a web-site on my PC with a PLAYER playing video in one of its frames
(2) The video-content played should be an "endless" list of small video-shots with their names
(or data) being read from standard input of the player or from an "infinitely" growing file or pipe

Questions are the following:
- Which "video-player" to use
- How to call it from the web site for running it in a frame

Thank you so much...

I think VLC and its streaming capabilities might do what you want to achieve.
You can further investigate there::

On your web site you create an anchor to a video file, at the client
side (the computer visiting your site), the appropriate video player
will be launched. You could do a php script to do it a loop of
videos.

Actually, I don't need to stream the content, but your idea is good. I can stream
the content and to see the result in the same PC in the browser.
Thank you!

To call an in frame media player in a web browser, sort of like they do
with YouTube, if I am guessing correctly what you want to do, you need
to host the html file on a web server, and use the embed tags to embed
the media into the page:



<EMBED SRC="../graphics/sounds/1812over.mid" HEIGHT=60 WIDTH=144> (as an example)

To get more complex with this use that code and either set up a CGI file or a php file that can do all the dynamic settings you require.



Most of the responses I have seen seem to be looking at it from a client perspective, that can stream a playlist to a client. I honestly
have never gotten VLC to really work in a stream mode, but the html embed stuff, and other media control html works perfectly.

Probably I didn't explain the task well. Everything should run in the same PC.
(i.e. no Internet, client and no server). I am afraid that the loop would require
restarting the player SW and breaks in the content.
Thank you for your idea!

Even if it's all in the same machine, you still have a client and a
server. Your post talks about embedding video in a Web page. Therefore
you need a web server, and the user will see it via a web client.
There's no problem in having both on the same machine.

As has already been said, the right approach is not to do anything on
the server side except make the video available. It's the client that
has to handle the presentation on screen.

PS Please don't top-post on this list.
