Forum user: Anssi Flowplayer Flash & video streaming developer

Where did you get this URL? The correct link to a commercial player is: https://flowplayer-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/flowplayer/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.8.zip

The page works fine on my 64 bit Mac.

I am working on it right now :-) Will soon reply to your email. Sorry for the delay.

And welcome to our new website!

Oops. Looks like i need to disable posting again.

We have just enabled forum posting again. It was disabled for one day due to automatic spamming that we are receiving.

We also had to delete forum messages for the past three weeks, these were 99% spam but some real messages got deleted also in the process. Apologies for that!

Can you please check if this demo works.http://flowplayer.org/demos/installation/alternate/object-w3c.htm

I am suspecting that this is an issue in query tools / flashembed.

What is the event that the Acudeo plugin is waiting for here? I can find out if there is a way to send this event earlier.

This is now in our issue tracker, and will be fixed for our next release.

The coverImage feature does not support changing the image dynamically. However you could use the canvas for images. See the example below. With this you can change the image dynamically with code like this, you can try this in your browser's developer console:

$f().getPlugin("canvas").css({ background: 'url(/img/demos/thumb2.jpg) no-repeat 50pct 50pct' })

HTML setup for the player

<!-- include latest Flowplayer javascript file -->
<script language="javascript" src="path/to/flowplayer-3.2.8.js"></script>

<!-- player container with optional splash image -->
<a href="path/to/video_file" id="playerContainer">
	<img src="path/to/splash_image" />
</a>

JavaScript coding

Following script will install Flowplayer into our player container

<script language="javascript">
// our custom configuration is given in third argument
flowplayer("playerContainer", "path/tohttp://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.11.swf",{
clip: {
  url: 'http://releases.flowplayer.org/data/fake_empire.mp3'
},
canvas: {
   // a canvas image centered 50% vertically and horizontally
   background: 'url(/img/demos/thumb1.jpg) no-repeat 50pct 50pct'
}
});
</script>

1. The commercial license is enough for this usage.
2. The player will work without internet access. The player works without a license key when the play swf is loaded from 'localhost' or from the disk using the 'file:' protocol.

Internet access is not required as the player does not 'phone home' to validate the license. The license key verification happens completely inside the player as it knows the domain where it is embedded in. And in this case the domain can be the local domain.

Hope this helps.

The org.flowplayer.ui package stuff is here:

http://code.google.com/p/flowplayer-plugins/source/browse/#svn%2Fflash%2Fcommon%2Ftrunk

We are going to release the next version together with a new website (this site redesigned). We still have a few weeks before everything is ready.

The current development version athttp://flowplayer-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/info/dist.html should be quite stable: I would recommend that you test with the plugins that you use and with your configuration and if you don't see any problems you can go ahead and use it in production.

The code where the error happens is generated by the Flash Player (and does not come from Flowplayer):

try { document.getElementById("VideoPlayer_api").SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(window.location.href.toString()) ); } catch (e) { document.getElementById("VideoPlayer_api").SetReturnValue("<undefined></undefined>"); }

Should be fixed in this:

http://flowplayer-releases.s3.amazonaws.com/info/dist.html

Let me know if it works for you now. Also see my comment here:
