Embeding of Live Stream Player

[Dan]

Hey.

I need a good media player that will stream live broadcasting to listeners.
I am using Joomla. I checked their extensions but found none that will do it.
Anyone got any good ones, please post them.
Greatly appreciated.

Thanks man,
But that seems to be just for webcam and stuff.
I am broadcasting live radio from SAM Broadcaster to Shoutcast. I just want to have a web based player that people can use to listen to my radio shows without having to open their winamp or other media player from their PC.

[krakjoe]

I dunno about radio but I managed to broadcast sky shows before using that streaming server.

Try embedding Windows Media Player with the following

<OBJECT id="MediaPlayer" type="application/x-oleobject" height="60" standby="Please wait while we start the radio!" width="160" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="STEAM URL GOES HERE">
<PARAM NAME="rate" VALUE="1">
<PARAM NAME="balance" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="currentPosition" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="defaultFrame" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="playCount" VALUE="1">
<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="currentMarker" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="invokeURLs" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="baseURL" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="volume" VALUE="100">
<PARAM NAME="mute" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="uiMode" VALUE="mini">
<PARAM NAME="stretchToFit" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="windowlessVideo" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="enabled" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="enableContextMenu" VALUE="-1">
<PARAM NAME="fullScreen" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="SAMIStyle" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="SAMILang" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="SAMIFilename" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="captioningID" VALUE="">
<PARAM NAME="enableErrorDialogs" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="_cx" VALUE="4233">
<PARAM NAME="_cy" VALUE="1588">
</OBJECT>

Simply edit the bold STREAM URL GOES HERE with your server address (e.g. http://theipaddress:port

Thanks. Didn't work though. It seemed Joomla didn't like it and wouldn't allow me to save it in the module.

Here's some Joomla! modules I just found.

Joomla!Radio 4.0
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1270/Itemid,35/

Internet Radio
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1750/Itemid,35/

Cheers.

Here's an idea of what I am after.

Go to http://www.wlrfm.com and click on the Listen Live banner at the top right. They use Flash Player. I am looking for something like that which opens the radio stream in a single player.

[krakjoe]

that flash player is playing a windows media stream application-x/m-player2 , probably served up with windows media server.....

so what you're loooking for that sort of flash application then, and not a server; is that right ?

Well, it doesn't have to be flash. Like, just a single player where people click a button or banner and it opens a player just like on WLRFM and they can get the live stream rather than having to open their own default player.
Some listeners are saying they can't get it to work so I am thinking if we had our own player online for them to listen through it may make it easier for them.

That popup is really just using the same that oates151 posted apart from it's hidden.

The flash isn't streaming anything.

This is in the popups html:
<object id="player$md5" width="0" height="0" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="URL" value="http://83.220.199.104:80" />
<param name="ShowControls" value="0">
<param name="windowlessVideo" value="true">
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="false">

<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<embed src="http://83.220.199.104:80" height="0" width="0" border="0" autoStart="true" type="application/x-mplayer2"/></embed>
</object>

Most users have Windows Media Player installed so I don't think you'll have any problems doing it this way.

[Dan]

So I just put that in and it will work right? Or do I need to get a player or something?

Should do it.

[Dan]

Nope. Just shows a red dot in the editor window and shows nothing at all in the main site module window.
I am probably doing something wrong.

Are you trying to play a live shoutcast stream? If so embeding Windows Media Player will not work. Media Player does not play .pls streams. You will need to see if there is a way to embed Winamp.

[redboyke]

D&#233;iseHost,

u have to stream your radio as mp3 in order to make it work probarly in flash
or any other sound format for other embedded players.They dont understand .pls files.

the player u can use is wimpy player is fully costumable or u can just use the button version too.

Edit: damn didnt see Galaxy-Hosts post

[Dan]

Got it guys.

I disabled the WYSIWYG editor in Joomla and placed the embed code given to me a couple posts back and it works perfect.
Thanks a million!

[alley]

Wow ...this is really cool.
I didn't know you could embed Windows Media Player like that
Thanks guys ... I learn something every day here I swear.

[Dan]

Yep.

Alley, maybe you can get some of the musicians and bands you know to contact RadioDeise? Would be great to play their music to our listeners.

[alley]

Oh yeah ...we can do that

Dan,

I came across a shoutcast player the other day which can be embedded into a webpage. It's called ShoutPlay and I think it's freeware. The publishers are called Remlap Software and there is a working demo on their website. I tried it out and the sound quality was awesome, maybe even better than winamp.

I hope this is of some help to you.
