MultipleMediaPreview

[serendipity]

Made this little script to preview the selected media files. I tested this on .avi and .mp3 files. But I guess if you have windows media player and the right codecs installed then anything playable on IE will work here too.
Here it is:

MultipleMediaPreview.xys

How it works:
Place the script inside XY's script folder, select a bunch of media files and use this script.
Note: as of now this doesn't work from search mode.

It works (and is nice!) but has a strange syntax. Heredoc should be used, and the line substr $embed, $embed, 1, -1; can be dumped then:

Code: Select all

...
  $embed=<<<FOO
<TABLE>
   <TR>
     <TD>
      <strong>  #$g_count:  <curname><strong>
     </TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
     <TD>
         <OBJECT id=VIDEO CLASSID=CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6 type=application/x-oleobject width=140 height=140>
            <PARAM NAME=URL VALUE="<curitem>">
            <PARAM NAME=enabled VALUE=True>     
            <PARAM NAME=currentPosition VALUE=0>  
            <PARAM NAME=AutoStart VALUE=False>
            <PARAM name=PlayCount value="3">
            <PARAM name=Volume value=50>
            <PARAM NAME=balance VALUE=0>

            <PARAM NAME=fullScreen VALUE=False>
            <PARAM name=uiMode value=full>
        </OBJECT>
     </TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>
FOO;
  //not needed! substr $embed, $embed, 1, -1;

Thanks Don. Not familiar with Heredoc, I will see how i can do it.

I showed you in my post. Simply paste my code.

Sure, thanks for that. But, I like to understand how it works.

An updated version.
Includes suggested changes by Don and an option to preview externally with IE (but will create a file called MultiPreview.html inside XY folder).
Here it is:

MultipleMediaPreview.xys

Updated script to include user defined dimensions.

MultipleMediaPreview.xys

hello sir, bydefault your script is taking windows media player. is it possible to have this preview in system's default media player instead of windows media player? i am using kmplayer as a default media player for my mediafiles. is it possible? ofcourse, double clicking on media file, kmplayer is getting opened.

Nope, not possible.
