Hi my application is MVC, have a view with windows media player, it plays on my local host but not on the hosting server, MIME is set up correct. Here is my script:
<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="url" value="../../Video/1.wmv"/>
<embed src="../../Video/1.wmv"
type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"></embed>
</object>
I tried same script in a simple HTML file, it worked well on the server.
I get 500 Internal Server Error (shown in Fiddler). Any suggestions.
Try using a helper:
<param name="url" value="@Url.Content("~/Video/1.wmv")" />
<embed src="@Url.Content("~/Video/1.wmv")"
This will ensure that a correct url to the video file is generated. In this example I suppose that you have a Video
sub-directory and the file is inside this directory.
As far as the 500 error is concerned, I suppose it is not related to the code snippet you have shown. Try looking at the server's EventLog where unhandled exceptions are traced.
