I have found great documentation on how to use this tag for flash and image media. Unfortunately I have not found an example of anyone displaying videos with this tag. I am trying to display wmv files streamed from a bean. If anyone has tackled this please fill me in.
So far I have only toyed with a few things like the following which shows an image with x.
<a4j:mediaOutput element="object" mimeType="application/x-mplayer2"
createContent="#{VideoBean.paint}" value="#{row}"
classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" />
I can simply enough come up with a flash movie player, but I would rather just use the windows media player plugin.
