I maintain an ASP.net 3.5 website for a client who is now wanting to include short informational videos inline on certain pages of his site. He is hosted with Network Solutions on a shared account. I setup video services on his account and have been provided with an IP address to reference in an tag. However, the video needs to play upon page load, rather than play when user clicks a link to it.
Can anyone suggest a plugin or Javascript library that will allow videos to be played upon page load? All video files will be saved in .wmv format.
Thanks,
Sid
SilverLight should be able to do that.

I was using RTMP FFmpeg to streaming to the facebook, things work fine but it looks like Facebook now want the user to click on the live video on facebook.com to go live. This thing add the complexity that for example in a company 5 people are working and live streaming a video project and suddenly senior leave his office and go home early, he is the only person who has the facebook-page admin access, now video will not go live because of the requirement of click on live video on facebook UI.
Is facebook have something for this condition. I mean I use RTMP protocol in a software so people can do whatever they can easily and without having technical knowledge. I don't want the person to click on Go live every time he is using the software. Anyone have a solution for trouble like this.
Note: I am writing this question since it's related to facebook development and they told me to use StackOverflow for all dev related query.
If we have a embedded video with any player or video tag in our site (not YouTube video) or video can be hosted on another server and if we want to share it on Facebook or Google+, how can we do that?
You may find this article worth a bit of your time. Note: You may need to have a working SSL certificate on your server in order for it to work right.
I am currently developing a new website / facebook app for an online magic competition. I am hoping most of the functionality can come from Facebook's own services, and would like your feedback on how plausible our goals are.
Essentially there will be two types of users: magicians and voters. Magicians will upload a video of them performing a trick (or select a video they have already uploaded). Voters will vote for their favourite magicians, and be able to post these videos to their wall.
Are these possible:
Video upload to Facebook - I have had a search, but the only method I found uses the depreciated REST API. Is there a newer implementation?
Video download - After a user has uploaded a video are they (or can we) able to download their video from Facebook?
Embedding magicians Facebook videos on the standalone website?
Thank you in advance
You can still upload videos and photos using the graph api. We have done this into galleries for a number of clients.
see here for a picture example (works with other media objects such as videos):
Is it possible to post a status update and adding an image file with facebook graph API?
The problems you may face though are the issues of managing and approving content in the site.
One solution we have found is to combine YouTube API and Facebook to get the best of both worlds. you can now embed a YouTube uploader in your site / app which will post videos into a channel of yours but have an approval app to control what lands. Then add any voting mechanism of your choice to the stream of videos. You can use YouTube likes, Facebook likes or your own. Take a look at this video:

You can embed a YouTube channel into Facebook easily too:

Also using youtube, you can spread your net farther to reach more of an audience.
Hope this can be of some help. (No, I don't work for YouTube just find using more than one platform better)
Something new for me: How can I get a file-upload on my mobile webpage for iphone, to upload a picture (as profile-thumbnail for example)?
Mabye there is any framework or library which can do this?
Thx for help ;)
There is no interface for uploading content in Mobile Safari. The best workaround I've seen is to have people email files to an address, and then you have some cron jobs that extract uploads from the email.
I saw this recently on the site My Slow Low. One of the guys who built it did a write-up on extracting IMAP email attachments using php, which could be a good starting point for you.

Picup is a native iPhone Application that facilitates photo uploads to the web. Since file-upload form fields don't work in Mobile Safari, a webapp can instruct Picup to choose and upload a photo. Once the upload is complete, Picup returns control to the webapp with information about the upload.
I understand that it is not quite possible to access webcam through HTML. So how about on the iPhone? Is it possible?
Starting with iOS6, You are able to access the Camera, and Photos using the<input type="file" /> input
Take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/
This was done by the NextStop guys, and is open sourced under MIT license. It basically uses an URL scheme to allow you to redirect a web user to a tiny native app long enough to take the picture, and then back to your web app to continue their experience.
I haven't used it yet, but I saw them demo it in a webcast and plan on using it myself when we get our mobile site done enough to incorporate it.
No. You can access the phone through the native API, but not via a web app.
