I added a URL for download as a “Item” attribute, but i can’t find a download button in the GUI . What am i missing? Does the XML need some sort of “downloads=”true” in the main configuration or something along that line?

Note to anybody considering this file, it’s top notch, but you probably already know that by now if you read through these comments.

Hi. Very nice player!!

I’m attempting to embed the player in an html home page. I successfully made it through and down to this part of your instructions: [Listing 3 CSS Rules] <style> .mouseWheelFix { width: 700px; height: 320px; (you write) Define where item should be displayed in page by adding this snippet in page body Listing 4: HTML code <div class="mouseWheelFix"> <div id="showItem"></div> </div> (you write) Now, div with id
showItem
will be replaced by a 700×320 sized player which will load its configuration from file
xml/cong.xml

So, I used a Div tag (with your suggested HTML code – @ Listing 4) located inside of an AP Div (for placement) in my HTML . However, the only result I get is a distortedly smaller version of the actual player – with an alert reading:

no configuration defined
.

My assumption is the configuration file is not being found. I notice your instructions refer to

xml/cong.xml
Should I have an XML file by that specific name? Or is it the the config lines in the example XML ’s suffice? Either way, I’m stuck. Can you help me out?

Thanks! Again, beautiful work. Bobby

bitfade

hi Bobby

the player needs to load the external xml configuration file to work (unless you’re using single video flashvars only mode)

“no configuration defined” means xml config can’t be loaded from configured location
this is always due to a missing file or wrong embed code parameter
if you have a link to your page, you can send it to me using my profile form and i’ll have a look.

Very cool player. Just one question, can you disable/remove any or all of the icons on the playbar? Like if I don’t want to have the “fill” one show, or the “share” or “fullscreen” etc.

bitfade

yeah, there are xml/flashvars options to disable controls selectively

Is it possible to specify a start and stop time? Or start and length similar to flash media server?

So if I had a 30 minute flv, I could tell it to start at minute 5 and play for 3 minutes.

bitfade

hi

there’s not a configure option for that.

is there a way to have the video play while it is still buffering? My video files are quite large so it takes some time for it to actually finish buffering before the video plays.

bitfade

Hi, the player doesn’t need to fully load the video for playback to start

if this is the case with your videos, than they lack proper interleaving for progressive streaming.

there are free tools to fix this issue without reencode the video, for linux i use MP4Box, i think it should be also available for windows.

Hi there, got some questions about your player:

1. Can I have an image or text in overlay with an external link (ad-style or watermark)?

2. Can I set the player to start automatically (autoplay) without the need to click play ?

3. Since I need to embed the player directly into Facebook, I need to be able to link directly a single .swf (it can be .flv as well IMO ) file as you can see in this code (see rel=video_src) made to embed a swf player when shared on facebook:

source page: http://alostpeople.bandcamp.com/track/big-booty-bitches

4. Can I customize what happens when clicking the share button ?

5. Can protect the original video file, so that nobody can access it directly ?

6. Can I have metrics of how many people watched the video, how many clicked… and so on ?

Thank you,

Leonardo

Hi Bitfade…. I’m trying to make it so the player doesn’t use a cached version of the config xml file every time. I am using the player on a site that adds new videos to the playlist on a daily basis and right now the xml file gets cached and so people don’t see the updates for days sometimes.

I’ve looked online and it seems you can add some java something like this:

myXML.load(“tabs.xml?cachebuster=” + new Date().getTime());

to trick the browser into not using the cached xml file every time. I can’t see to figure out how to integrate this into your method of embedding the player.

Can you help?

bitfade

you can use something like this

No dice… won’t load the player. Right now I’m having to go in and add a number to the end of the xml file manually then update the filename in the embedding code in the header every day when I make changes….. super annoying!

Theres GOTTA be some way to make this work!

Oh just for reference the site is: http://www.southernutahnow.com

bitfade
try this:
"player.xml":("xml/example01.xml?t="+(new Date().getTime())+".xml")
it works for me.

I recently purchased this player and I know very little about Flash and HTML . It did not take me long at all to set up a player with a play list and a separate player for a single video.

The social networks feature is a great bonus.

Great product Bitfade!

Hi, Hope you can help…

I’ve loaded this player in to another SWF , using this code: http://pastie.org/1312429

Theres buttons in the SWF that go to difference frames (pages). So to remove the player when one of these buttons is pressed i’ve used removeChild(pl) and that gets rid of the player. But for some reason if theres a video playing then the video’s sound continues to play even though i’ve removed the player. So i guess i need to know how to stop/pause the video when one of these buttons is pressed… what would be the code to do this? The player and buttons are all on frame 1 of the root, so the path should be simple. Thanks.

bitfade

hi.

use pl.destroy() to remove the component

Hi, i’ve just realised that i cant get the video player back when i use pl.destroy to remove it. I use the same code as above to load the player back (this http://pastie.org/1312429), and the player appears but it’s blank – it just has the spinning loading cube and controls. Is there a way to force flash to reload the player again?

bitfade

if you want to reuse the player, do not destroy it

instead, you can use these methods:

pl.pause()
pl.play()
pl.stop()

Ah so simple. Thanks bitfade!

Btw i remember you saying ages ago that you was planning a new version of this player with a thumb preview in the seek bar… do you have a rough idea of when it might be complete?

bitfade

i’m finishing a new item, next one should be the new player

however, no timeline

Is this player resizable to 864×480?

bitfade

yes, any size will work

  • Has been a member for 2-3 years

Thanks for your responses to my questions. When changing URL ’s for video is that done on the XML page and does the package come with some instructions?

bitfade

yes, all configuration is xml based (or flashVars also for single video)

download package includes pdf docs, examples and sources.

I like your player very much. Just one question because I do not want to integrate the player into an HTM -SiteL: Is it possible to integrate the player into a main.swf, so it also runs from there standalone?

bitfade

hi, yes you can use the player as component into bigger flash project

This is one outstanding player. I’ve purchased several video players from activeden, and was not satisfied. I believe I’ve found what I wanted. You could have sold this for $50, and I would have bought it. Great Vid Player. Can’t wait to play with it and upload it. I’ll send a link to the site and let you critique it. Thanks again.

I know it’s possible to embed the player into another fla. I also know it can be resized. I get that. My problem is when I resize the player to fit my background, and I click on the fullscreen button the player does not center and when I press esc, the player does not go back to the size I have it set to. How do correct this. If i can’t how can I remove the fullscreen button from the player?
