Configuration Options
Once you create a QuicktimePlayer instance, select the Options menu item
from the module settings menu to display the Options page.
| Movie
|
Use 'Movie' to select the location (URL) of the movie to be loaded, or select
a file from your DNN portal content files. Note: If you are using
a Querystring parameter for the movie, you must use the querystring
parameter "src", rather than "movie". |
| HREF
|
Use 'HREF' to provide a link to another page or movie when the movie is
clicked. |
| Width
|
Width of the player control in pixels, or as a percentage of the browser
window. |
| Height
|
Height of the player control in pixels, or as a percentage of the browser
window. Specify a size of 16 pixels plus the size of the movie to display
a player control with movie controls, otherwise the player will scale the movie
(subject to the Scale setting). |
|
Start Time
|
Defines the first frame to play. This value is specified in the form
Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames (1 frame = 1 30th of a second). For
example 3:30:5 means 3 minutes, 30 seconds and 5 frames. Make sure
you specify the frames timescale value - that is, if you want to start the
video 30 seconds in, use a StartTime of 30:00 - if you used "30" instead, you
would be specifying 30 30ths of a second (1 second, not 30 seconds). You
could also define StartTime as "900" to start the movie at 30
seconds. |
|
End Time
|
Defines the last frame to play. This value is specifed the same way as
Start Time. |
| Scale |
Use Scale to control how the movie is sized. The available values are:
Half: Plays the movie at half it's original size.
1.0: Plays the movie at it's original size
1.5: Plays the movie at 1.5 times it's original size
2.0: Plays the movie at twice it's original size
3.0: Plays the movie at three times it's original
size
Scale to fit: Scales the movie to take up the entire
available space (defined by the height and width properties)
Maintain aspect: Scales the movie to fit the size
available, but maintains aspect ratio.
|
| Volume |
Specifies the volume to play the media at. This is a numeric value from
0-100.
|
| Background Color |
Specifies the background color of the player area. This color is used to
fill the area of the player that is not taken up by the movie. Background
color can be specified as a named color, or as a hexadecimal value preceeded by
a '#'. For example, #F1F1F1.
|
| Enable Javascript |
Specifies whether the player can be controlled using Javascript code.
|
| Cache |
Specifies whether to cache movies locally. The functionality of this
attribute is only supported by Netscape Navigator, version 3.0 or later.
|
| Kiosk Mode |
Specifies whether to include the player's pop-up menu in the movie
controller.
|
| Play every frame |
Specifies whether to play every frame, regardless of playback speed. On
most systems, this will cause the movie to be played much slower then intended,
and can disrupt sound playback.
|
| Autoplay |
Specifies whether to play the movie once the Quicktime player has determined
(estimated) it has buffered enough data to play the movie all the way through.
|
| Target Cache |
The TargetCache attribute allows content creators to cache the movie the poster
movie is targeting.
|
| Loop |
When set, the movie plays continuously in a loop.
|
| Show Controls |
Specifies whether to show the movie controls.

Using QueryString items to control QuicktimePlayer
If you pass querystring values matching QuicktimePlayer attribute names to a
page, QuicktimePlayer will use the values you pass. For example, you
could use the URL http://yoursite.com?src=playmovie.mov
to play a specific movie.
