Play : a new module to play video and audio files

[dam]

Hi dam

Is there a way to display a frame of the movie with a play overlay before the video starts playing?, kinda like in youtube?

autoload=1

At one point I may put together a tutorial on how to customize it for a web TV kind of use.

Cool! I'm waiting for this

I've started writing down what the different JavaScripts are for. I'm now getting a better hold of the code myself, as it is Calguy who has made all the coding work of FLVPlayer.

We're thinking of adapting it more for genereal use, as it was pretty customized for our needs when he developed it for a public access TV channel. There are some ideas in the forge about what to change to accomplish this, so that more users could use it for a web TV site. If anyone is interested in helping out with this it would certainly be welcome.

Will keep you updated on the tutorial.

And btw, sorry for mixing in FLVPlayer in a thread about Play. Maybe I should start a separate thread, although these two modules are related.

***SORRY*** I had the global sizing for the player at 40!  ***SORRY***

Dam,
First of all, thank you for such a nice module...its simplicity is its strength.

I'm having a problem, however. I've 0.5.2 installed and am attempting to have a playlist of 2 audio files. The code I have on my page is:

{cms_module module="Play" player="2" record="1,2"}

It only will show the first song. Also, the bottom of the player is cut off. I left the sizing options alone (0).

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Help!

Hey there like this mod alot... i only see one prob that is the active-x for the flash... so i try to fix the default code you had in there but no luck...
Here is where i'm at... got a better idea? i'm stuck cause i don't know how to strip off the extra for the movie name...

Code: Select all

<__script__ type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','{$width}','height','{$height}','title','Header','src','{$location}','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','{$location}' ); //end AC code
</__script>
<noscript>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$location}" width="{$width}" height="{$height}">
	<param name="movie" value="{$location}" />
	<param name="FlashVars" value="flv={$file}{foreach from=$player_params key=n item=v}&{$n}={$v}{/foreach}" />
	<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</noscript>

any ideas would be great cause my bosses won't except it with out the active-x fix... besides it's sloppy not to fix it... chat laters..

[JeremyBASS]

dam,
I'm not sure what's going on, but I've got a video clip that is an .flv file. For some reason, it won't play...just sits there. It is a local file, not remote and is 3MB in size.

Any ideas?

Hey... if your using the Neolao FLV Player then make sure that

Code: Select all

<param name="FlashVars" value="flv={$file}{foreach from=$player_params key=n item=v}&{$n}={$v}{/foreach}" />

is in your template... hope thats a help

Hi dam,
thanks for a great module. I've a question. How can I add a " new player" to the module?

Hi dam

Is there a way to display a frame of the movie with a play overlay before the video starts playing?, kinda like in youtube?

autoload=1

This is the answer I had been searching for. I am guessing that the autoload parameter is an on/off (1/0) function. Is this correct? I would love to show a particular frame, either to choose the frame number or time (such as 20 seconds into the clip). Also, the way the first frame shows up as a thumbnail is very dark. I'd prefer for it not to be dimmed at all, but at least much less than it is now. Is there a way to adjust this?

Thank you so much for this great module!

Hello,
This depends on flash player and its options. You should refer to the documentation of erach flash player that you use.

Dam,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the Play module. On this page http://alhoodtrumpet.com/cms/index.php?page=sounds, I'm using the play module at the bottom, but notice it doesn't display correctly (at least on a Mac...not sure about Windoze). It may be something about the CSS, but I'm not sure what.

Any ideas?

It displays correctly on Linux/Firefox. When you validate your CSS in W3C validator, it displays a full list of errors...
