Hi!
we are new in using max program...
we are making a project in which we have to put, in a jit.window, a video.
but it is an html video.
maybe max doesn't 'play' html, is it true?
how can we resolve this problem?
thank you!

Hello Bruna and Giulia,

You're right about max not playing html-video but then again there is no such thing as html-video. :) What you're looking for is the url of the video itself as it is probably embedded in the webpage.

For example;

If this is not what you mean, please be more specific.

HTH,

Somehow the forum messed up the last link. (Append the persons.flv to the link and copy it in your browser)

or do you mean to play back a (live-)video-stream?

in any case the jit.qt.movie object should be your start...

information about receiving streams youl'll find i.e. here

If it's a video you've found online you can sometimes grab the source with [jit.uldl] and [jit.str.regexp], check out the object helpfiles.
