How to play Video files in WebClient

Classic Servoy

Hi all,

Is there any Beans/Plug-ins available to play video files in Servoy WebClient? Commercial is also fine.

Thanks,

You can play .flv videos pretty well (with a Flash player, like the one on YouTube) with the BrowserSuite ServoyBrowser bean or ServoyFlashPlayer bean.

I’m also planning to add a VLC media player to the BrowserSuite at some point but this is on hold until some Mac OS X problems are fixed with the VLC plugin.

In the meantime, I guess .flv in Flash is your best option, unless some users have made some tests with QuickTime or VLC plugins installed on their native browser in Servoy with the BrowserSuite… Maybe you could give it a try and tell us how it goes?

No plugins/beans needed. Just use an HTML area and insert normal code like you would play in a normal webpage. You can check out an example here: http://app.servoyuniversity.com

Ah, web client? Sorry, I though you were looking for Smart client video player…
In which case, yes, you can simply embed html with a flash or quicktime object.

Thanks Patrick and Scott for your response.

Is the default player will automatically embeded in the HTML Area? I mean, Let’s I am trying to play a MPEG file, does the Windows Mediaplayer automatically integrated with-in the HTML Area?

Thanks,
