How to turn off or by pass permission denied error or access right Cu_Teo_Sj 5/7/2007 10:46:01 PM Hi, I am trying to embed video (playlist) in my local machine html/javascript. In my script when I want to add media to playlist by using: Player.currentPlayList.appendItems(media); I will get the the permission denied error. This problem did not exist in media player 9. After doing some reseach I found out that media player 10 and 11 has additional security which required me to do: Player.settings.requestMediaAccessRights('full'); Wthis code the video will play fine but there will be a pop up asking for confirmation from user. Right now I am develop a small project which run on local machine so there is no security issue I need to worry. Each time when i want to play something the confirmation will pop up and it turn out to be very annoying. Is there anyway I could either by pass the permission or the confirmation diaglog box? Thanks -Due Nguyen duenguyen[ at ]yahoo.com

You may possibly be able to subvert this using "mark of the web" (ref http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628.aspx) but I doubt it, since you're trying to end-run around a deliberately built in security feature of the player.

Re: How to turn off or by pass permission denied error or access r Cu_Teo_Sj 5/8/2007 7:32:00 PM Dear Neil, Thanks for your reply, it was my fault to mention html. It is actually an asp page which been envoke through IIS. Yet still i tried with the MOW but it does not work.

Re: How to turn off or by pass permission denied error or access r Cu_Teo_Sj 5/9/2007 5:01:02 AM I tried several appoarch yet it does not work include making the file into hta as recommended. I tried to pass in the url (just as string) and play it but the problem is I have to make sure the file is existed. By doing so I have to use FSO which does not work on client side. I am kind a running out of option here. I guess my question is if there is anyway (perhaps within the setting or HKEY or even code wise) so that user don't have to go through these hassel even if user does should there be some kind of setting which user only have to do it once, since this is visted website already (cache perhaps?)

Re: How to turn off or by pass permission denied error or access r Cu_Teo_Sj 5/9/2007 6:05:00 AM Hi Neil, A new finding is when I have the html file run locally then it work ok but when I try to run through IIS that is when I have the permission denied error. Here is some of the sample code. Please save this as test.html and find any two .avi files name them as 1.avi and 2.avi but them in the same folder under IIS directory and launch using localhost/directory/test.html and the other way is just to double click on the file. And again if I put the requestMeidaAccessRight then it will play but the annoying pop up will come up. Do you have any idea how to prevent this or only display this pop up only once?

It's a cross domain issue which is to be expected. If you are hosting from a web server (even "localhost") as explained befor, you will be required by the player to request media access rights. There's no client-side workaround for this perfectly reasonable security restriction (being able to read and/or write a users private media library *is* a security issue) You could instead make your playlist dynamically at the server end, as requested by user actions (perhaps using AJAX to prevent page refreshses is one approach) Cheers - Neil >> Use an .hta (HTML Application) in IE instead of HTML + Javascript. >> >> You may possibly be able to subvert this using "mark of the web" (ref >> http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628.aspx) but I doubt >> it, since you're trying to end-run around a deliberately built in >> security feature of the player. ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs
