Video doesnt come up

[anujane]

function playStream(streamType, protocol, ip, port) {
  var url = "src=" + protocol + "://" + ip + ':' + port;
  document.clientui.url.value = url;
  gAspectRatio = "aspect-ratio=" + "4:3";
       
       if(protocol == "http") {
           url = 'elecard://' + ip + ':' + port;
        } else if((protocol == "igmp")||(protocol == "udp")) {
           protocol = "udp";
          url = 'elecard://' + ip + ':' + port + '/udp';

        } else {
                  url = 'elecard_rtsp://' + ip + ':' + port;
        }
       
       
        document.getElementById("mediaPlayer").fileName=url;
        document.getElementById("mediaPlayer").autoStart=true;
     
       alert("elecard");
 

        document.getElementById("mediaPlayer").play();

 
}

I have this  function which plays the video in the windows media with elecard plugin
The problem is if i remove the last alert message which is just before play then video doesnt play, If alert is there then video plays after hitting OK on the alert. Could somebody please help me what this alert might be doing or what shud be done instead of alert so that the video plays automatically.

Thanks & Regards

Most probably, the problem occurs because you do not give enough time in your application to build filter graph. When alert window appears an interval occurs before start command and this time is enough for filter graph to complete building process. We would advise you to set up short timer instead of alert before play command.
