Hello

I have a web project and it requires a live stream that plays asx files with asf files inside it. I would like to know if there's a way to embed it inside my HTML and play it in the website using chrome so users won't have to download and go out of the web page and play it in windows media player. I would like it to play inside chrome. thank you for your help.

ASF is Windows Media Audio/Video, if I am not mistaken. Chrome cannot play it.
If you happen to find a JavaScript implementation of a Windows Media Audio/Video codec, then I guess you can pull it off by decoding in JavaScript, but it will probably not be so performant.

For playing inside of the browser, you'll need to use a web-compatible
format, ideally Ogg Theora or WebM.

But for this kind of web development question you'll probably be
better off asking at Stackoverflow or the like.
