Quicktime movies in HTML.. or whatever..

[PsychoChimp22]

I was just wondering how you can add a quicktime file (song file or video) to play on a webpage. I leared how to stream off other web pages (back in the days of myspce lol) but i want to have some stream off my own computer.

so say i wanted C:\Documents and Settings\alex\My Documents\My Music[music file.whatever] and i wanted to put it on a webpage to stream off my comp. How would i do it?

thanks in advance

unless your computer is connected 100% of the time and has a static IP you won't be able to stream from your own computer for others to hear.
You'll need to move the file to your ISP/hosting company's server where your web page resides.

My brother set our stuff up. He has a server for his website that he lets me use for stuff like this. We both have static IP so.. yeah its hostable.

the embed tag gets it to use the player IN the current window.
It you just put a link then it will open WMP sperately.
Sounds like you want the former as it will play as you view

Hosting some naughty videos eh?

actually i WAS looking for a way to get banned in style. (posting p0rn on alt account? LOL)

haha jk, i was gonna post a song file on a site, i noticed all teh songs/music videos you stream off public website are very poor quality. so i figure ill just host off mine.

in [<center><embed src="rome.wmv" height=350 width=350 autostart="true"loop="false"></center>] where would i put the directory of the file? (the file isnt in the same folder as teh site)

THat's the file name in bold.
If the html and sound files are on the same server and it's yours then it doesn't matter, but if you were hosting off an ISP then you should use relative names.

eg use "../../sounds/file.wmv" instead of "/Documents and settings/me/sounds/file.wmv" or "/public/users/me/sounds/file.wmv"
"../" means go UP a directory/folder.
