I'm looking for a general purpose media player for my website. I have lots of links to docs, images, videos, mp3s etc. When the user clicks on one of the links, I'd like some sort of viewer to pop up and show the contents, e.g. if its a mp3 it will play the mp3 etc.
I'm aware of the yahoo media player for audio (http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/), and things like yoxview (http://yoxigen.com/yoxview/Default.aspx) for images.
Has anybody had any experience with using any of these? Are there any general purpose viewers that will do all file formats, or is it a matter of integrating a few different ones like those above on my site?
You'll need separate viewers for audio, video, and images.
For anything other than those three, you're best off just serving the file directly the the client. Users would prefer to open a document in their word processor than play with it in some web based viewer.
If you really want to push the issue you may be able to push documents over to Google Docs and view them there the way GMail does, but I'm not sure if there is an external API to support that.
Found a few that offered what I was looking for:

I have a working "Action On Google" that we programmed.
I separately created a website that Chromecasts video (based on Google's sample code).
However, what I would REALLY like to have is speak to my Google Home, then automatically have content (ideally an image + audio, then a video right after) cast to the Chromecast.
Is this technically possible exclusively through the Google Home interaction?
Alternately, is there a way to cast image + audio at the same time through a website (and what code do I need to do so)?
Right there is no API for third-party developers to programmatically send content to a Chromecast.
Trying to make a desktop slideshow screensaver. Instead of the same pictures time and time again I thought it would be cool to pull from an Instagram feed.
RSS feeds can be used to get live data from sites like Facebook, twitter, etc. I was wondering if there is a way to have a similar effect for downloading Instagram photos.
What I need:
Program that updates once a day
Searches a specific Instagram account, or multiple
Downloads the latest 10 photos for example
Removes old photos (so the folder doesn't get oversized)
That way Windows can pull the photos from that folder to use for a slideshow.
Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this? Or how to go about accomplishing this?
Outdated, Unfortunately Instagram changed it's settings and now this no longer works
Turns out it's far easier than that. A program called
Screenstagram
Has this capability and more
I have set up a wordpress theme called Video Board, the site I am building allows users to upload their videos for comments. Uploading a video from a mobile device is critical, the theme supports mp4 which covers android users, however it does not support .mov. Has anyone come across a way to play .mov in videojs?
The server has ffmpeg installed, however the last plugin I tried needed its own upload page which worked however videos were not captured in the themes latest uploads/popular posts etc.
I know a conversion would be the proper way to do it, but at this point I would even be happy working out a way that when users upload videos through the theme upload page, it doesn't actually convert but just changes the file extension(renames) it to .mp4, as that is all I have been doing to fill out some content.
I am open to all suggestions,
Thanks,
Sam
There are tech plugins for video.js, but these will require browser plugins. You're far better off converting the mov files after upload to standard formats, e.g. h264/acc MP4
I tired to googling that how share videos form camera roll in windows phone 8 like in Nokia video upload and facebook app. I used to try this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff967563(v=vs.105).aspx
Only share picture but I want to share only videos for my app e.g. when my app show in list when share a video by camera roll of windows phone in sharing
To quote the link you included in your question:
Note that this extensibility is only available when the photo is a JPG
file.
And from my experience, I can confirm that it is not possible to register your app as a share target for a video file.
In other words, if a user tries to share a video from the camera roll or another app, there is no way to make your app appear as one of the options in that list.
Did you try using the share media task function?
Check this article out from the msdn :

You can use MediaLibrary and there is already an answer for your question in this link. As said, there is no way to select existing sound media and video files through default choosers. Thank you.
As I know, there is no way to get the video file in the camera roll.
But recently I did it when using updated WhatsApp.
Wahtsapp supportes video file uploading which is not in saved IsolatedStroage in wp7/wp8 devices.
How did it?
Now I'm researching but can't find.
Please help me.
There is still no documented API for loading existing videos.
From WPCentral:
The ability to send videos has been in WhatsApp for quite some time,
but an OS limitation prevented the app from accessing the media
library to fetch pre-recorded videos. Since early 2013 though, Nokia
has been working with the WhatsApp developers and it looks like it
paid off to have friends in high places. Through Nokia’s assistance
(and indirectly, Microsoft’s), WhatsApp now has permission to grab
videos from your library to send to friends.
