Does anyone know how I can play a WMV stream from a server via a module?
I have tried to embed windows media player but I cant get it to display the player.
Any ideas??

so far I have tried by putting the two .js files in the scripts folder and adding the following into a custom module.
<div id="myplayer">the player will be placed here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
var src = '/jw/embed/wmvplayer.xaml';
var cfg = {
file:'/videos/myvideo.wmv',
width:'320',
height:'180'
};
var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,cfg);
</script>
Im not sure if i need to add this anywhere as i thought joomla auto loaded any js files in the scripts folder.
<script type="text/javascript" src="silverlight.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wmvplayer.js"></script>

K i got the player to play the demo video.
But it does not play the mms stream from the server.
I have had a look on the forums and other people have the same problem.
Does anyone else know of another player that will work??

That embed code seems to work.
Not as sleek a player but it works.
Thanks
