How to use SkyDrive to play Videos and Music on your Space

 

SkyDrive is a new service by Microsoft that lets you upload and host files for your own use. It is available in India, UK and the US market only as of now. So if you are in these regions you can use it for hosting your banner, music and videos to play on spaces or any other website that you might have. It gives you a total space of 1GB and you can even access the public folders of your friends.

• Go to SkyDrive and sign in with your windows live account.
• You will notice a panel with various options. Click on the Public folder icon.

 

• You will notice various options through which you can create new folders, etc. For now, click on Add files.

• Browse through you computer and upload the file you want. In my case I am going to upload a music file titled 'Stronger'.
• After uploading go to where you file is uploaded in the public folder. You will see various options through which you can embed the file into your blog so people can download it or an option to send the file via email and so on. We don't require this as you cannot display your banner or play your music or videos through the direct link given or the embed option. To play music or videos on your space through the media player you need a hotlink which means a direct link to the actual file in question.

To get the hotlink...

• Right click the file icon (Picture, music, video or any other file format)
• From the drop down menu, select Copy Shortcut (if you are using IE or select Copy link location if you are using Firefox browser)
• When you paste this link anywhere (ctrl+v) or right click, paste) you will notice it is quite long and it has a ?download at the end of it. Delete that bit.

For example...

I got :

http://tswp6g.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pFfZGkZNh4Xg73_YUvx5n1SYJw4N1TMIZvOZYBLaJ5hd_7jeqWsld_h

cnRFWYeFdKhKWptaGpd52fyHC9YKMxyUwAh_Z1k5PQ/stronger.wma?download

After removing ?download I am left with...

http://tswp6g.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pFfZGkZNh4Xg73_YUvx5n1SYJw4N1TMIZvOZYBLaJ5hd_7jeqWsld_h

cnRFWYeFdKhKWptaGpd52fyHC9YKMxyUwAh_Z1k5PQ/stronger.wma

This is the hotlink that we require and it can be used in the media player. Just make sure your file is in an acceptable format (like .wmv, .mp3, .avi, etc). You can even shorten the URL using tinyurl if you want but it is not necessary.

 

• Now add the Windows Media Player to your Space
• Position it where ever you want. You can even choose to make the media player invisible so that music will be played but there will be no media player module showing up on your space in the preview mode.
• Click on the Edit link found on the media player module.
• The page will refresh and you will be asked for a link/URL.
• Paste the hotlink that we modified and saved earlier.
• Click on the Save button after you have done it and preview your space.

 

 

You will hear your music or see your video play...

Done!

Easy right?

巫婆早上發現一個很實用的東東.起碼對巫婆來說.拿出來跟大家分享.                 Google 桌面搜尋

怎麼說它很好用呢?聽巫婆一一道來.這是一個很快速就能找到你想找的東西.最吸引巫婆的是它的操作介面.就像右邊的圖示.

當然如果那麼簡單的東西.巫婆怎麼會拿出來跟大家分享呢?巫婆先來說明.上面阿 你看到的是巫婆個人的設定.能設定的東西多的哩. 網址如右.         Google Gadgets

進去以後.看到沒? 一堆Plugin.讓你下載使用.連MSN的Messenger都有.看你喜歡怎麼做.你就自己編排.像巫婆這種數學白痴.常常要用計算機.當然一定要在裡面嚕!!!

當然.功能還不止這些.上面的圖.是把桌面搜尋螢幕畫面.定在電腦螢幕右方(你也能放左邊)看下面的圖.你也能把它變成浮動式的.

然後.你高興放哪裡.就放哪裡.

最後.巫婆只能說.估狗真是很會搜.不愧是第一大搜尋引擎.讓巫婆想起了一句話-----科技始終來自於人性-----(好像是NOKIA的吼?)

就到這邊 希望大家用的到而且有幫助.  ( 官方詳細網址)
