Embed a Real Player for audio playback
A colleague was having trouble getting his embedded RealPlayer to work in Firefox. It turns out he was only using the <embed> tag. However, a combination of <object>and <embed> seems to be the best option. The code used in this page works in Firefox and IE6 for me. Here is the basic source code:
<object classid="CLSID:CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA"
width="100"
height="30">
<param name="src" value="FILEPATH" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
<param name="controls" value="ControlPanel" />
<embed type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"
src="FILEPATH"
autostart="0"
width="100"
height="30"
controls="ControlPanel">
</embed>
</object>
Below, there should be a couple of embedded Real Player widgets which should play a recording of Aston Villa FC's Holte End in full voice (Only the best will do...)
Start Small Embedded Real Player
End embedded Real Player
Start Large Embedded Real Player
End embedded Real Player
Labels: audio, html, realplayer

Finally! The code for embedding the RealAudio Player!
Even at Real.com the knowledgebases don't mention it, or else they assume it's common knowledege and it's buried deep under a pile of how-to's.
Why didn't I Google it sooner?
And it's been here for a year!
THANK YOU!

er...if only the sound would come out of the speakers!
any reason that you might know, why .mp3 works fine and .m4a doesn't?
It's the only reason I'm using RealP.
Microsoft doesn't seem to even know .m4a/AAC exists.
If you can help, please drop me a line at pkpublishers@gmail.com.
Thanks again.

Thanks for commenting, I've just changed domains and this post wasn't working before. Glad this post helped you (a little). I don't know about the .m4a files. You could try this page: Why won't Real Player play my file?
