I thanks you for the method you gave me and for all the ressources links too. I managed to have the WOEmbeddedObject play the MP3 file in Safari, i had to add a Binding : type = "audio/mpeg" to it in WOBuilder. Now it works great in every browser, with {data & mimetype}

But i think i'll do it your way anyway, because of the changes in the way IE deals with embedded object since he has lost his lawsuit. So i'll be able to integrate the necessary Javascript in the WO components / HTML… well i think i'll be able to … :-)

Thanks again.

Great to have this mailing-list for newbie to this amazing tool WebObject is !

Yes, it is possible. I know many WO sites that do things like this. It is just hard to understand all the pieces the first time.

You need two things:

1. The WO components / HTML to define the plugin in HTML
2. A direct action (this is easiest, I think) so you have a URL to dynamically return the MP3 data (see downloading below)

Then use the direct action URL as the src (I think that is the one) in the EMBED tag.

I think you can do this all in one step with WOEmbeddedObject, but this way is probably easier to understand.

In fact, yes i'd like to use a plugin to play the MP3 files, which come from the database… i begin to think that it is not possible using a database… :-/

Thanx for the ressource adress, beside, when i clik on the link you provide me, the browser download an m3u.file launched by iTunes next, this i don't want, i would like to implement in a dynamic way the type of link you can see here :

http://homepage.mac.com/golden.ears/SoftSite/Docs/Media.html

Where the song extract come from the database and played in another window by the Quicktime plug-in or whatever plugin who deals with mp3 file.

i hope being clear in my explanation.

Why are you using WOEmbeddedObject? Are you using a plugin to play the MP3 files? If so, the functionality from that will depend on the plugin you are using and the browser.

If you want the users to click a link to play the music like here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BG1PHA/104-7083027-7290363

Then you need to provide a link to "download" the MP3. Search for 'download' on http://wocode.com for code examples of how to do this.

I am sorry for the mistake in my post , i clicked the wrong thread (Unable to find entity for object) :-(

Here the message :

Concerning my problem : i use a WOEmbeddedObject to show the mp3 files, and yes they all end in .mp3, i set the mime-type of the WOEmbeddedObject to "audio/mpeg" it supposes to work well this way, but apparently i am wrong :-/ I didn't specify a "content-type" header unless it's specifying a "mime-type" do so…

Thanks for help.

Gilles.
