title: SharePoint: Media Player Custom Field Control
body: <p>I'm trying to implement the Media Player custom field control described in this MSDN article: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa981226.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa981226.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>I created a custom site column (of type Link) in a custom content type and followed all the instructions to deploy the solution into SharePoint and add the control to a Page Layout. </p>
  
  <p>However, when I create a page based on a page layout that uses this field control, nothing is displayed in either Edit or View mode of the page. </p>
  
  <p>I dug around in the SharePoint logs, and at the time the page is loaded, I see the following error in ULS:</p>
  
  <p>Control template "MediaPlayerFieldControl" does not exist.</p>
  
  <p>If you've implemented this control, did you have to implement anything other than what the article details? Pretty sure I don't need an ASCX here because the control is handling rendering the media player. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
