I'm making a website for a piano player, and I'm using the yahoo media player to play a short playlist of his music in the background while navigating the site. I've been looking for a way to reposition the player on the page, but I wasn't able to come up with any easy way of doing this. Does anyone know of a practical means of doing so?

I'm working on a website and i use a wordpress plug-in that embeds youtube videos.
Now it has this great option to show only an image of the video and load the video only if you press the video so the page won't take a lot of time to load.
The problem is that in that mode it takes that video photo from youtube and it also takes a big, red, play button image that is ugly as hell :)
Now that button's css is coming from some external link (http://s.ytimg.com/yts/cssbin/www-embed-vflSBO3VV.css) and i don't know how to over ride it.
Any suggestions?
That is the site i'm working on btw - http://www.lab.gezerweb.com/ClipPress/
Thanks.
I believe you're talking about an embed that uses controls=2, correct? (See https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#controls)
If so, then no, there's no way to override the default play button in the cued state.
I need to implement a video player that should play files(wmv, mpeg, mp4 etc..), I have tried object tag, but it requires media player plugin to play I dont want this kind. Somebody can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.
For playing Video in Website, the users need to download plugin (WMP or any other player). Without the plugin, Video cannot stream or play in browser.
I have a track on my website which utilizes the soundcloud HTML5 player. I was wondering if there is any way I can make it a little quieter that way it doesn't shock the viewer upon opening my page. If anyone could lead me in the right direction as to how to alter the players volume on soundcloud it would be much appreciated :D
I know it has something to do with javascript: setVolume(volume) but I'm not familiar with JavaScript so if someone could help me out that'd be great. I want the volume to be at 50%.
If need be, i could also use the flash player.
I'm fine with using either HTML5 or flash player, I just want the volume to be set at 50% when someone plays it.
You can do this by using the Widget API
Basically, the widget is embedded into your page with an iframe. Give the iframe an id, include the API library (linked above) and then it's really simple.
SC.Widget('myIframeId').setVolume(50);
I need to make myself walk in front of my Flash website. All I have is a movie with a white background. Does anyone know the process? Using Flash 8.
Working on the assumption that both movies are flash, Amarghosh is correct the best way would be to load the movie of yourself over the top of the existing movie.
So you would do this inside your flash environment as opposed to using css.
Are you talking about alpha encoding the video? You can use the Flash Media Encoder to turn that white background into a transparent background and then load that video (I'm assuming you have a video of yourself walking onto a white background?) over your swf to get the effect you're looking for.
The encoder should come with your install of Flash 8.
I've embedded a YouTube video onto a site (built in drupal) using the embed code from the video's YouTube page.
If I visit that page on an iPhone, it picks up the fact that there is a YouTube video and displays the icon that you click to pop open the video and watch it.
If I visit the same page on a Palm Pre it just displays a blank space where the video should be. If I visit the video on the YouTube page itself, however, the Palm Pre picks up the fact that there is a video and allows you to open it.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem and has some insights they can offer. I'd love to have a more graceful solution than just adding a link to the YouTube page below the embedded player
Thanks!
You could compare the embed code actually used on the YouTube page (as opposed to the one they offer for quick copy & paste) with the one you are using, as there are quite some different ways to embed a video.
I would expect them to use the SWFObject for embedding, which is a tiny bit more effort to use on your page, but usually works a lot more reliable than the 'old fashioned' embed tag offered for quick copy&paste.
You might also try requesting the YouTube page faking the user agent of the Palm Pre, as they might deliver something different for those, but that is pretty unlikely.
