I am aware that on the internet there are multiple tutorials on creating javascript buttonts to control the basic Windows Media Player functions and I am aware that a few sites (such as Launch.com and MSNBC.com) use a text-based status bar instead of the traditional Windows Media status bar. I am curious if they have some sort of javascript text status bar for Windows Media player. Thanks in advance!
Not that I'm aware of. I haven't checked their sources but I know of a webradiostation (www.radioseven.se) that uses a custom statusbar which is basically a div tag. Depending on the status they simply change the text in the tag while also replacing an icon next to it. Looks a lot like the real windows media player. That script is pretty complicated though. If you look through the code I think there's a copyright text saying who made it.
Ok. I looked into that and its actually a flash-powered media applet using Windows Media Player to power the player. I know Launch.com and MSNBC.com have them using a regular Windows Media applet (although MSNBC.com seems to use div and images to get the video playing). I still dont want to take somebody elses script that was created strictly for them so I was curious to see if there was a free javascript for a status bar out there. Thank you for your contribution...
Well, you could always borrow ideas from their script and make your own. After all, the interface to the actual player would have to be done in the same way (or atleast using the same properties, methods etc) so I doubt anyone would complain.
