Advanced MSN Space by kierant on 03-29-2006 at 01:53 AM

I have an MSN Space in which I have added the Windows Media Player module - without any problems, i.e. all is working as expected. However, I currently use it to play a music video whenever someone checks my space, but I was just wondering if it would be possible to randomise the video every time the page is refreshed - much like certain indivuals' avatars on forums.

I can obtain the video codes easily enough so it would just be a case of accumulating them and putting them in some sort of special code to randomise them (I guess). I would hope to have about 5 or 6 to play randomly. Is this possible?

Thanks.

If the widget asks for a URL, it won't be difficult to set up a PHP page, like KSMAS, to do it for you ;)

I doubt it'll allow you to make those songs play randomly. Only one song is allow for the time being, i suppose.

Except if you use a suitably-coded PHP page, like I suggested.

Woah I completely forgot I made this thread..Thanks for the replies.

Anyway, to get WMP in your space follow these steps:

1. Log into Passport and Edit your Space.
2. In the Address bar of your web browser add the text “&powertoy=musicvideo” to the end of the displayed URL.
3. Click the Go button next to your web browser address bar.
4. Once the page has finished reloading, click on the Customize tab in your Space.
5. In the Modules drop down menu in the Customize tab there should be a listing for PowerToy: Windows Media Player. Click the word Add next to it and then click the Save button.
