Zope and MS Media Server Integration (Video)
Does anyone know how to call video on the Microsoft streaming media server from a Zope DTML document. I.E. in a document named video.dtml: <a href="mms://welcome.asf">Play video.</a> works just fine when viewed on the local Zope server machine, but when called from another machine returns this: http://<domain_name>/video_test/video.dtml/mms://welcome.asf Which does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks. Harlow Pinson Indepth Learning Email: hpinson@indepthl.com Web: http://www.indepthl.com Voice: 505-994-2135 FAX: 208-475-7678

This is a browser issue. The browser you are using does not recognize "mms:" as a valid protocol, and thinks it is part of a relative URL. IIRC, there is some way you can construct a playlist file (.asx, maybe? my mind is fuzzy on this, it's been a long time) that can contain the mms://... URI. The playlist file is fed via file type associations to Media Player regardless of the browser. -- Matt Behrens <matt.behrens@kohler.com> System Analyst, Baker Furniture
