QuickStart

The WebMinster WebPlayer is a free MP3 Player for homepages. This short tutorial aims at showing you how to embed the WebPlayer 2.5 into your homepage. This is quite easy. Just add the following source code into your HTML file:

<object data="webplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
width="240" height="64">
<param name="movie" value="webplayer.swf">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#C0C0C0">
<param name="flashvars" value=
"src=sound.mp3&amp;autostart=no&amp;loop=no&amp;random=no&amp;remote=no&amp;debug=no"> 
</object>

► If your HTML file and the WebPlayer is not located inside the same folder you have to change the path to the WebPlayer file.
► You can change the bgcolor to make it fit to your homepage.
► If your MP3 file is not called "sound.mp3" or if your HTML file is not located inside the same folder as the MP3 file you have to change the path to the MP3 file.
► If you want to play more than one file you can use a playlist. To do so src must point to a file containing a valid playlist (value="src=sound.mp3&... ).
► If you want the WebPlayer to play the file automatically you must set autostart to 'yes'.
► If you want the WebPlayer to loop the MP3 file you must set loop to 'yes'.
► If you want the WebPlayer to play the songs (of a playlist) in a random order you must set random to 'yes'.
► If you want to control the WebPlayer remotely using JavaScript you must set remote to 'yes'.
► If you have trouble to get it work set debug to 'yes'. Once everything works fine set it to 'no' again! Find out how to use the debugging ability of the WebPlayer.
