view video from drop down list (Visual Studio 2010)

Question

User-1058836992 posted

I'm having some trouble getting videos to play when I select them from a drop down list. I want to be able to select a video from the drop down list and play it using ASPNetVideo:RealPlayer (RealPlayer). The videos are uploaded to a database and put into the drop down list and I can't get them to play.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Language: VB
Can anyone help me with this problem.

here is my code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="ASPNetVideo.NET4" Namespace="ASPNetVideo" TagPrefix="ASPNetVideo" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.UI" %>
<script runat="server">

    Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            BindGrid()
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub BindGrid()
        Dim strConnString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("constr").ConnectionString
        Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnString)
            Using cmd As New SqlCommand()
                cmd.CommandText = "select id, title, description, FileName from UploadVideo"
                cmd.Connection = con
                con.Open()
                'DataList1.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader()
                'DataList1.DataBind()
                con.Close()
            End Using
        End Using
    End Sub

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim sCurrentFilename As String
       
       
        For Each r As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows
            If DropDownList1.SelectedValue = r.Cells.Item(1).Text Then
           
           
           
               
           
                sCurrentFilename = r.Cells.Item(3).Text
                RealPlayer1.VideoURL = sCurrentFilename
                'RealPlayer1.VideoURL = "C:\upload\index_heat_rate.mp4"
                'RealPlayer1.VideoURL = "~/videos/test_upload_video.mp4"
               
                                             
            End If
           
        Next
           
    End Sub

Hi apicm,

I’m glad to you post the issue to asp.net forum.

According to your description and code you provided, I see that you are using asp.net control ASPNetVideo.

From your code, I see that you want to change the VideoURL of RealPlayer dynamically.

For this issue, I suggest you make sure your mp4 file url is correct. Please use the server.mapPath to handle your mp4 file path.

<%@ Register Assembly="ASPNetVideo.NET4" Namespace="ASPNetVideo" TagPrefix="ASPNetVideo" %>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Width="100px">
           <asp:ListItem Value="DHOOM-3.mp4" Text="Video1"></asp:ListItem>
           <asp:ListItem Value="Baatms.mp4" Text="Video2"></asp:ListItem>
       </asp:DropDownList>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Play" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
<ASPNetVideo:WindowsMedia ID="WindowsMedia1" runat="server" Height="389px"  AutoPlay="false"  Width="465px">
                        <HTMLAlternativeTemplate>
                             <h1>No!</h1>
                        </HTMLAlternativeTemplate>
</ASPNetVideo:WindowsMedia>
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            WindowsMedia1.VideoURL = Server.MapPath("~/videos/" + this.DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
            WindowsMedia1.AutoPlay = true;
            WindowsMedia1.LoopCount = 1;
        }

Sorry for using c# and WindowsMedia. Thanks.

Best Regards!
