I wanted to play a flv file in browser at home.
So i created html file containing
Code:
<html>
<head> stream local flv to browser without internet</head>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="480" height="360">
<param name="flashvars" value="abc.flv&image=abc.jpg" />
<param name="movie" value="mediaplayer.swf" />
<embed src="abc.swf" CONTROLLER=TRUE width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="file=abc.flv&image=abc.jpg" allowfullscreen="true" />
</object>
</body>
</html>
abc.flv (video to be played)
abc.jpg (thumbnail for video)
abc.swf (this is the player)
are all in folder containing html file.
I don't remember from where I got this abc.swf though player of megavideo & you tube did not work.
I do one more trick : create a link named abc.flv pointing to desired video file , so no need to copy video in same folder.
