Compatibility This module has versions for DNN version 2.1.2. and 3.0/3.1/4.x.
Specifies the name of the file containing the information needed for closed captioning. The Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file must use an .smi or .sami file name extension. For more information, refer to the Windows Media website at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/addingclosedcaptionstodigitalmedia.asp
Specifies which controls are shown in the user interface.
none: Windows Media Player is embedded without controls, and with only the video or visualization window displayed.
invisible: Windows Media Player is embedded without any visible user interface (controls, video or visualization window).
mini: Windows Media Player is embedded with the status window, play/pause, stop, mute, and volume controls shown in addition to the video or visualization window.
full: (Default). Windows Media Player is embedded with the status window, seek bar, play/pause, stop, mute, next, previous, fast forward, fast reverse, and volume controls in addition to the video or visualization window.
On downstream browsers that do not have full control over the player controls shown, setting this property to none or invisible will hide the controls, mini or full will show the controls.
Check (tick) this checkbox to make the movie start playing immediately once the page is loaded (default).
Specifies whether the Windows Media Player control renders video in windowless mode. By default, an embedded Windows Media Player control renders video in its own window within the client area. When windowlessVideo is set to true, the Player control renders video directly in the client area, so you can apply special effects or layer the video with text.
Internet Explorer/Windows only: This setting is only rendered when your browser is Internet Explorer on Windows, because the documentation indicates that setting a value for this property in Netscape Navigator may yield unexpected results.
Using QueryString items to control MediaPlayer If you pass querystring values matching MediaPlayer attribute names to a page, MediaPlayer will use the values you pass. For example, you could use the URL http://yoursite.com?url=playmovie.mpg to play a specific movie.
