Quicktime Embedding Question

snipes3 · May 17, 2004

I'm kind of new to embedding quicktime movies on the web. I have a client that wants his Quicktime movie demo to start playing as soon as enough is 'buffered' to then stream to the end (no hiccups). He doesn't want it to fully load and THEN play...he wants it to stream after a few seconds of loading.

I have the movie currently here:
http://www.alsdigitalhouse.com/demo.html

Here's the source code:
<html>
<body bgcolor="#efefef">
<center>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="162"HEIGHT="134"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="/movies/ADHD_LowBand.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLS" VALUE="all">
<embed src="/movies/ADHD_LowBand.mov" width="162" height="134" controls="all" controller="true" autoplay="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</embed>
</OBJECT>
</center>
</body>
</html>

-------------------------

Setting the parameter 'Autoplay' to 'true' should make this happen but it isn't working...it's loading the whole movie first, and then starting...any ideas on what I could do to make this start playing faster at the beginning (streaming)? Is this a web server issue maybe?

Thanks in advance!

Sort of.. as far as I know, you need a streaming media server to accomplish this
