All video players are hosted centrally at: http://www.sonybmg.com/musicbox/video/artistname. These players will need to be popped up with no browser chrome as the dimensions take full advantage of a 1024x768 user's available real estate. The standard player dimensions are:
- Width: 988px
- Height: 540px
The following Javascript function should be used on any site with a video player:
function videoPlayer(video) {
window.open(video,"musicbox video",
"width=988,height=540,toolbar=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0");
}
This function can be used with any link, as follows:
<a href="http://www.sonybmg.com/musicbox/video/artistname"
onclick="videoPlayer('http://www.sonybmg.com/musicbox/video/artistname');
return false;">Videos</a>
Note the repetition of the link, this is done to ensure graceful degradation. The onclick event attribute uses the video player function to spawn the player, and the original link is cancelled out with return false;
Videos may also be launched directly using unique links. These links can be easily generated from within the player itself by clicking the 'Share' link next to any video.
