Best web media players for own website? - media

Custom control,simple,more features and plugins...

Flowplayer is very good Flash video player. It comes in free and commercial version, and can be customized beyond your wildest dreams :)

JW FLV Media player, probably the best flash player around.

One of the simplest MP3 players is playtagger (see the two examples at the bottom of that page).
You simply include the js file, and a small play/stop button will be displayed next to every MP3 link. You have no possibility for customization, and it only works for MP3 (AFAIK). But it's very easy to use.

Share videos camera roll wp 8

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.

How to play uploaded videos in an iframe on a Mac system

I have tried using iframe and also video tag and object tag to play the video. In some cases, it plays only the audio from the video, but video doesn't show up.
Secondly, the same video file plays well on a separate tab in the browser, but not within my iframe.
This issue is on all browsers on my Mac, but on a windows machine it plays well.
I finally found it. Apple has a good documentation of its own for this. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/quicktime/conceptual/qtscripting_html/QTScripting_HTML_Document/ScriptingHTML.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001525-2-GettingaBrowsertoLoadQuickTime
I simply had to use the embed tag properly as they have explained.

WP7 mp3 waveform

is there a way to display Waveform of an mp3 song in WP7 ?
I tried to play around with MediaStreamSource but nothing really worked out.
Thanks, Michal
There is no stock component that does that. Your best option at this point is build your own, given that you are directly reading the frequencies from the MP3 file you are talking about.

Web based media viewer (docs, images, videos) recommendations?

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:

Play ogg inside a page?

I was pretty surprised when i saw http://www.vorbis.com/music/Hydrate-Kenny_Beltrey.ogg link not give me a download option but had a player that was not flash playing the audio back. (FireFox)
Is there a way i can embed this onto a page?
Use the HTML5 Audio tag.
P.S. Although you tagged as firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera 10.5 also have support for audio
You can use HTML5 to embed this on a page, but it will not play back consistently across browsers.
The only way to get consistent audio/video playback across browsers is to use a plugin and Flash has the widest user penetration.
You're looking for the HTML5 <audio> tag.
Note that it's not supported by IE.
