Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

I need some help getting Flowplayer to work on my blog.

Here is the page: http://www.maleblue.com/2010/06/straight-guy-with-twink-in-the-shower.html (scroll to near the bottom, the player is just below the text).

In the <head> I have got:

<script src="/player/flowplayer-3.2.2.min.js"></script>

And where I want the video player to display, I have got:

<div id="player" style="width:512px;height:314px;"></div>
<script> 
flowplayer("player", "http://builds.flowplayer.netdna-cdn.com/36781/8623/flowplayer-3.2.2-0.swf",  {
 
 // player configuration goes here
 clip: 'http://www.maleblue.com/assets/2010/06/23/Jayden_Ryanc_Bonus.mov'
 
});
</script>

The video doesn’t play, but the audio does. Not sure why, or how to fix this. Does anybody know?

Also, I want it so that the video doesn’t autoplay, but not sure how to do that either. I’ve been using their configurator, but it’s not very functional, unless I’m missing something.

Thanks to anyone who can help me fix this! :cool:

For starters you’re referencing a .mov file. I don’t think that will work. I’m surprised the audio is working. I’d also suggest having the script on your own server.

It should work fine if it’s h264 encoded.

#4

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

More likely what it is. Cross-scripting security issues.

The .flv file didn’t even have sound when I tried.

When I hosted the script on my server, I didn’t even get the player, let alone the sound.

I suspect I’m doing something stupid somewhere… I’m a bit thick when it comes to scripts and things!

try using:


 clip: {
        url: 'http://www.maleblue.com/assets/2010/06/23/Jayden_Ryanc_Bonus.mov',
        autoPlay: false
    }

Instead of the way you have “clip” directive now.

Also use <script language=“JavaScript”> instead of just <script>.

Same situation I’m afraid. Gald I didn’t buy this player, I’d be throwing abuse at them by now lol

Oh ok this is Southern strokes. I had problems with their video format.
I converted it.
Use something like:

To convert to another format.

BTW, flowplayer is an excellent player. I highly recommend it.

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

Thanks for your help Gumdrop, which file should I convert it to?

#10

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

FLV is fine.

#11

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

Excellent! That did it thanks, Gumdrop!

#12

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

Anyone now how to stop the video autoplaying?

#13

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

Look at my code above.

#14

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

autoPlay: false?

I added that, but don’t think it worked:

<div id="player" style="width:512px;height:314px;"></div>
<script language="JavaScript"> 
flowplayer("player", "http://builds.flowplayer.netdna-cdn.com/36781/8623/flowplayer-3.2.2-0.swf",  {
  
 // player configuration goes here
 clip: 'http://www.maleblue.com/assets/2010/06/23/Jayden_Ryanc_Bonus.flv',
         autoPlay: false
 
});
</script>

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

ummm I looked at your web page source code and it still shows the old code.
Maybe you have page cache going on that you need to flush?

#16

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

plus you have to enclose the clip: directives in brackets as well.
for example:


clip: {
        url: "myMovie.flv",
        autoPlay: false
    }

So:



flowplayer("player", "flowplayer.swf", {
    clip: {
        url: "myMovie.flv",
        autoPlay: false
    }
});

But of course be sure to change the url: “myMovie.flv” to where your movie is located.

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

I have a lot of mov files that work fine with flowplayer

#18

Re: Any Flowplayer experts in the house?

.mov should work fine with flowplayer (most excellent player ever) if it’s h264 encoded and the moov-atom is in the beginning of the file.
