I would like to have a Windows Media Player that would play random videos on my site. Is it possible to do this? The videos are in different folders.

When you say "random" I take it you mean every time a user visits the page, it plays a random song? Or do you mean when clicking a next button it "shuffles" the playlist?

Hmmm. found this somewhere else - using Javascript.

Not sure if i will work though?

Either or would work for me, but the simpler the better, ya know? Scripting is about as confusing as trying to read ancient Greek. However, that almost looks like it would work. I am assuming that where it says
// Our playlist array.
playlist[0] = '1.wmv'
playlist[1] = '1.wmv'
playlist[2] = '3.wmv'
playlist[3] = '4.wmv'
I would include the full url to the files, including which folder they are in, and it won't matter if they are in different directories?

And thanks for pointing this out.

I think so, all looks quite straight forward - let me know how you get on!

It's Quirk, not Quick... and I don't know why you are thanking me, I'm the one who's lost here

Rolda, I will do some testing, but I don't exactly know how to pull all this together. Right now, I am encoding an individual windows media video onto a blank web page, then call that page into an i frame. Yeah, it's crude but it works.

Ok, I have the randomMovie.js done, but how do I use the function renderMovie(){
? Do I simply place it where I used to have the emedded player?

Anybody?

Anybody at all...

sounds like a php job

btw i cant do it

Thanks Callum, but it was resolved with some help on a javascript I found a few posts back. I can't code, so I cut and paste... and pray

Capt Quirk - While I was able to help you in your other post, you won't always find help like that. I suggest you learn at least the rudimentary basics of programming.

You know, if I were going to do web development full time, I would put the effort into it. But, I am a videographer by trade and have my hands full keeping up with that field. I just do the occasional web site when I absolutely need to.

I have a hard time with code, just like I did with algebra. While you might be able to look at some random string of code and get it, I see something that looks like somebody threw up their alphabet soup. Html is one thing, but trying to learn every single code and their syntax is pretty pointless at this stage in life. That would be like telling you to build your own car when you just need a ride across town.
