HELP! I?ve been working on this for a while now. I?ve been trying everything I know to get this full screen button to work. The javascript code I?ve been using is as follows:

function fullScreen() {
player=document.getElementById("Player");
if player.DisplaySize==3) {
player.fullScreen=true;
}
}
and I?ve also tried:

function fullScreen()
{
Player.DisplaySize=3;
}

now I?m not a real java guru obviously cuz I can?t get these to work but this is a result of research that I?ve done over the net. The object ID for the media player is simply "Player" Then I use this button for activating this function:

<a href="javascript:fullScreen();"><IMG SRC="images1.jpg" ALT="" width="125" height="125" border="0"></a>

I?m also going to need to alter the up and down volume and other broadcast system. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Knowing just about nothing about controling mediaplayer via javascript,
I still suppose your fullscreen function should be actual valid javascript...

code:
function fullScreen() 

{

   var player=document.getElementById("Player"); //don't forget the var. It will come and bite you.

   if (player.DisplaySize==3)  //you were missing the (. 3 you should probably check for playState, where 3 means 'playing'

  {

     player.fullScreen=true;

   }

}

or

function fullScreen()

{

   var player=document.getElementById("Player"); 

   player.DisplaySize=3;

}



I suppose only one of these actual set's your player into fullscreen, and google groups suggest it's the first one.

So long,

Hey Tyberius Prime!

Just read your program and comments for Apone.

I have similar but complicated problem here to do with 'fullScreen' for Windows Media Player (WMP).

I use JavaScript file for inserting and setting the video clip for most browsers to work - you can check the JavaScript file:
http://lyndonborrow.com/sample/video_setting.js

And on the HTML page I have...

code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="/sample/video_setting.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>

<div id="iVideo">
  <script type="text/javascript">fWriteWMV("solvideo", 320, 308, "http://www.sample.org.uk/videos/homepage2-3.wmv")</script>
</div>

</body>
</html>




Now, on the HTML page, I tried to add button on below the WMP for 'Full Screen' view with these...

code:
<a href="javascript:fullScreen();"><IMG SRC="button.jpg" ALT="" width="80" height="80" border="0"></a>




It didn't work???? I tried with alternations, but none worked...... AAARRGGG!!!

Do you know if there's a way to fix, please?

Hi,

With my very limited javascript knowledge.... not to mention wmplayer's javascript api

In http://lyndonborrow.com/sample/video_setting.js
I believe you should change

code:
function fullScreen()
{
	var player=document.getElementById("solvideo");
	if (solvideo.DisplaySize==3)
	{
		solvideo.fullScreen=true;
	}
}



to

code:
function fullScreen()
{
	var player=document.getElementById("solvideo");
	if (player.DisplaySize==3) // player is the wmplayer object not solvideo
	{
		player.fullScreen=true;
	}
}



You could also do this:

code:
function fullScreen(id)
{
	var player=document.getElementById(id); // id is dynamic
	if (player.playState == 3) // check wmplayer status
	{
		player.fullScreen=true;
	}
}



This way you could use the function for different wmplayer objects.

Hi Guys, I'm having problems implementing the code you've suggested above. All I want to do is make my "full screen" button cause the embeded media player go full screen when it's pressed. All it does is cause the video to stop. This is the code:

code:
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function fullScreen() {
   var player=document.getElementById("Player"); 
   if (player.DisplaySize==3)  {     // 3 means 'playing'  
     player.fullScreen='true';
   }
}

//-->
</script>

</head>

I'm referencing the id as "Player". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without being any kind of expert for this... I guesse

code:
player.fullScreen='true';


should read

code:
player.fullScreen=true;


without the quotes.

Hello,

I am using the above code to add a Full Screen button to our video presentations.
It is working great in Internet Explorer 6 but it does not work in FireFox.
Does anyone know why that may be?

I noticed another curious niggle, in Firefox the player controls work from the start:
- you can just click the stop button right away as soon as the program starts and it stops.
However, in IE 6, you neet to click the stop button twice. There is a message that says:
"Click to activate and use this control."
Does anyone know why IE 6 does this and FireFox allows the controls to work from the start?

Here is a link to one of our presentations so you can see what the problem is:
http://worldinvisible.com/avlib/w_vid_play_id.mv?vid_id=259

Thanks for your help

Thanks Tyberius Prime,

I did the Google search and read the information. "Oh the joys of the Internet and programming." This reminds me of the GIF copywrite problem. Do you think it will be more serious. Aaman Lamba at http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/06/164543.php says it could be a mini Y2k. Anyway, who said the life of a webmaster would be easy!

The Windows Media plug-in (which means Windows Media running embedded in all non-IE browsers) can not be controlled using JavaScript. Microsoft omitted the XPConnect layer that allows JavaScript to talk to the WMP control. [Google XPConnect]

This is a widely known issue. Microsoft has not plans to allow their WMP plug-in (but not ActiveX control) to be scripted using JavaScript. Why would they, frankly? That would make the user experience better in browser that aren't theirs, hence lowering their marketshare?

Note: When I say "plug-in" above, that implies "all non-IE browsers". IE does not support plug-ins. MS dropped that support in IE 5.5, I believe, about 8 years ago. IE only supports ActiveX controls. The WMP that runs in IE is an ActiveX control, so it CAN be scripted using JavaScript. The WMP that runs in non-IE browsers is a "Netscape-style plug-in" or simply "plug-in".

So, to answer your question, Windows Media in non-IE browswers can not be made to spawn full-screen through clicking a button/link on a web page, via any params in the embed tag, or any other means.

On the other hand, QuickTime is fully scriptable in all browsers, but it can not be spawned fullscreen through JavaScript either - because the free version of QuickTime does not support full-screen playback. Although, there are "hacky" ways around this you can find online that involve using dynamic QTL file on the server-side.

[I build browser-based video-on-demand servers for a living. These discoveries came about through much pain and toil.]

Ok you folks seem to know what yr saying... at least it sounds that way. So despite the fact that
we can't access WMP embedded in a web page using js, we know you can at least control some
aspects of it's function usings param tags. The question I have for u gurus iz:

Can one DISABLE the default double-click-goes-to-full-screen property of WMP embedded in a
web page?

muchas gracias!
