OT Streaming media and asx files

Hi gang,

I know this is not exactly the right forum for this but not being a programmer, I'm getting frustrated trying to find a cheap and cheerful solution that I am sure is out there. So I'm throwing it out there to the geniuses in the only forum where I know I get the right answers!

I want to design a simple custom media player in html that has an embedded windows media player in it. I know how that works and I have the code for embedding that is no problem.

And I also know that if I have a little bit of java I can have it linked from another web page.

BUT! I want to create an asx file that launches the custom player that I have created. I need to have something like this so that the link that launches can be simply emailed.

I would be most appreciative of any help?

Regards,

Phil

An .asx file can be as simple as a plain text file containing the URL of the .asf file. If you're using .wmv for your media then create a .wvx file instead. For .rm use .rma.

Thanks for that Chien, but what I'm trying to find out is how to open up a custom html player with a simple link, not just the video
