Hello,  I work at The Ford Family Foundation and we are going through the process of redesigning our website in-house.  We are in need of a media module, and we were very appreciative one came default with DNN (I am new to using DNN as a CMS platform).

We quickly discovered that it autoplays the video upon each page restart, and we need it to not do this.  I found a few posts regarding this (see url below), and attempted to make the modifications necessary.  VB programming is not my expertise, coupled with the fact the only tool I have is Visual Basic 2008 express, and therefore could not make the changes needed.

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/42/threadid/87784/scope/posts/Default.aspx

 

I am reaching out to the DNN community to see if someone has made the appropriate change to the .dll and be willing to share it.  Either here, or email me at my gmail account of geekfella@gmail.com....I swear good karma will come your way!

Here is an alternative to display one or many video files in a grid using the Text/HTML module. This example uses Windows Media Player for WMV files. If you need a different file type there is a code generator available at http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php

First you need to go to the HOST:Host Settings:Other Setings:Allowable File Extensions and add WMV. This will allow you to upload WMV files to your site.

Next go to ADMIN:File Manager and upload your video files. I store mine in a folder 'Video' under the portal root.

Add a Text/HTML module to the page.

Select Edit Text:Basic Text Box:Html

Paste the following text 1 time for each video you want to display:

<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... --> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"> <tbody> <tr> <td><object id="mediaPlayer" type="application/x-oleobject" height="285" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." width="320"> <param value="http://yoursite.com/portals/0/Video/Video1.wmv" name="fileName" /> <param value="true" name="animationatStart" /> <param value="False" name="transparentatStart" /> <param value="false" name="autoStart" /> <param value="true" name="showControls" /> <param value="false" name="loop" /><embed id="mediaPlayer" type="application/x-mplayer2" height="285" width="320" name="mediaPlayer" pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" displaysize="4" autosize="-1" bgcolor="darkblue" showcontrols="true" showtracker="-1" showdisplay="0" showstatusbar="-1" videoborder3d="-1" autostart="false" designtimesp="5311" loop="false" src="http://yoursite.com/portals/0/video/video1.wmv"></embed></object></td> </tr> <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file --> </tbody> </table>

Replace the paths http://yoursite.com/portals/0/Video/Video1.wmv with your site an file name in both locations.

Add a <br /> between code segments to create a new row. Go to the link above for details of the various format options.

I am displaying 8 videos in 2 rows of 4 in a single Text/HTML module using this technique.

Hope this helps.

Dave
