Windows Media Player Problem

Post by mad_phpq »

Hi folks. I have a small video file (dimension), but when i display it the volume controls are cut off to the right. I can see the play and ff and rw buttons but not the volume controls. Anyone know a way around this?

I have attached two jpgs to demonstrate this.

Would you post the embed/object code from your html for the two different sized players?

not worked much with Windows Media Player but I think it is an activeX design issue.

Can you force the player width? Looks like a simple graphical cutoff due to limited width available for fixed sized controls.

Yes you can set the player width but I assume the video would appear stretched.

I'd use Flash to display video so to have control over the interface. You might consider looking into this if time is on your side.
