Playing Audio/Video files within SharePoint Application

To play the Audio/Video files in SharePoint follow these steps:

1. Upload the file into a document library.
2. Add a content Editor Web Part to your site.
3. Add the code in the HTML:

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="fileurl">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1">
</OBJECT>

Notes:
1. CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" is the class id for Windows Media player.
2. URL will point to the location of the file. Upload this file to document library and put the URL for that file.
3. autoStart specifies value indicating whether the current media item begins playing automatically.
4. uiMode specifies which controls are shown in the user interface.
Possible values: invisible, none, mini, full.
5. PlayCount specifies the number of times a media item will play. Minimum value of one.

Hi, I'm trying to link an MP3 (stored in DocLib) from a field in a (RTF multiple lines) list field. Your code doesn't seem to work because it is being removed whilst saving the entered text. Have you got any suggestions how to solve this.

Hi - nice article, and I tried it on my sharepoint page and it works great but just for me. Other person cannot see the video - he just sees a wmplayer black frame and it says "ready" and when he is clicking "play" - nothing happens. Is it any permission restricts to play video and another person should have edit access to the site ?

actually - I fixed my problem. Seems like only wmv files format should be linked to that web part in order to play properly. Thank you very much again, nice tech solution !

HI im trying to do this but it doesnt seem to be working for me, im not the best at coding so could you please send me what i need to put in the html parts

Unknown said...

Hi..

You just need to copy the code given in the content editor web part. Let me know if you want this piece of code and i can mail it to you as blogger does not allow to put this.

For some reason, my files aren't playing the audio--just the video. Any ideas why?

Reuben Cook said...

For some reason it only plays the video. The audio doesn't come through. Any thougths?

Prem said...

Hi Manish could you please email me the code. thanks! Can you also confirm if Mp4 players can also be streamed in this way.
