I am releasing this BB Code for you to use on your forums.

Some things to take note to customize it to your liking.

change all 'width="320" height="240"' settings to your desire.
change all autoplay or autostart to true if you want it to autoplay.
change all 'param name='loop'' to true if you want it to loop.
change all align="center" to align="right/left" in this bit of code to align it however you want '<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">'Alright, now to the BB Code.

Sorry, copy and paste the replacement code for the Windows Media to overwrite the previous one.

Thanks!

As far as I know, yes. How would I find out exactly?

I just re-edited it, and tested. Works now. I wasnt able to test myself before because my MPlayer plug-ins were acting funny, and there was something wrong. Now it works on my forum after reinstalling the code, and updating my MPlayer browser plug ins.

Is this going to create security vulnerabilities?

The only one I am aware of is Flash security vulnerabilities. If you wish to install that particular BB Code that is up to you.

Anyways, is it possible to have members upload wmv files as an attachment and play them?

da420

Anyways, is it possible to have members upload wmv files as an attachment and play them?

hmmm... It works for me, try deleting the BB Code and trying again.

No with this code I do not think attachments will work.
The only way to do that would be to allow them to upload files to your server, and then put the link with teh proper extension in between the BB codes.

Does this work with FireFox? It works fine for me in Internet Explorer, but it won't show up in FireFox. I'm using the WMV code, BTW.

Mad Kayaker

02-17-2007, 08:55 AM

WMV Works for me in Firefox.... but I can't get it not to autostart in Firefox. Has anyone else experienced this?

Works fine in IE.

Thanks

Could someone explain how I go about installing this? Thanks...

02-19-2007, 03:21 PM

In the ACP there should be a custom BB Codes section. That's where you would input this information.

Fungsten

03-08-2007, 04:53 PM

what should I enter as the URL? In other words, in the ACP - Custom BB Codes - New, when it says:

Button Image (Optional) If you would like this bbcode to appear as a clickable button on the message editor toolbar, enter the URL of an image 21 x 20 pixels in size that will act as the button to insert this bbcode.

What should I enter as the URL? Is it a relative path or do I enter the full URL to the folder?

Thanks.

da420

03-08-2007, 04:54 PM

You can enter in whatever you want. If you input a url to a image it will show up in your editor. I didn't include a button because I didn't need one.

Thanks for that, have installed, I want to use it mainly to embed very small sound clips. Is it possible to reduce the display to the controls only, as I don't need the screen?

da420

03-12-2007, 11:20 PM

Change...

width="320" height="285"

To whatever you want.

Windows Media Files EMBED

Thanks, that worked in firefox, but still shows the screen in IE6 as soon as you press play. Sorry for the delay in coming back to you. :)

As per another poster, with firefox the sound clip auto starts, is there any way around this?

Fungsten

03-31-2007, 07:58 PM

Is there any place to get it? Thanks.

Fungsten

03-31-2007, 09:58 PM

da420,

You have for the example:

[rpv]http://www.homelandabsurdity.com/audio-video/beefheart_tribute.rm[/prv]

The tags should be [rmv]!! Now it works for Real Player!! :up: :D :eek:

On Edit.

Make sure your other Players are updated too!

The first post tells you how to turn auto start on/off and other configuration changes.

You can make custom image buttons, or find them elsewhere. I do not need them so did not make them for this BB Code.

I just checked and the code in my initial post worked for me. I would suggest deleting that BB Code, and reimplementing it making sure you do everything right..

Fungsten

04-03-2007, 07:03 PM

I've already done that but I'll do it again.

On Edit:

I made a boo boo! I had enabled "Use Options". Now it works! Sorry.

On Edit again:

In the instructions I would really add a note next to the "NO" for options.

Ah, yeah, that's why I stressed the NO with capital letters... glad you got it working...

I tried changing the width and height but the video still shows up in the same small size, is there something im doing wrong?

TechDawg

04-30-2007, 04:57 AM

Nice stuff. You have the .swf or 'Flash Media' option, which potentially has risks, etc. However, I don't think that .flv (Flash Video) has the same risk level. Is it possible to convert one of these to a .flv embed option?

Thanks

Hello,

This code is great and implemented on my site. However, is there anyway I can only let registered users view the movies? At the moment everyone including guests can see the movies. I would like to stop guests from being able to see the clips...

Any pointers would be helpful! :)

I do have it playing .wmv in posts, but I also have it in another BB code for a smaller footprint for mp3 that I have downloaded to my server. Please help, this will be such a great way for Members and viewers to hear the audio.

I removed this so that it would not show:

I figured out what was wrong. I was trying to play .mp3 and it would not work. I changed the files to .wma and working fine now for audio.

Thank You for all the help.

I installed this to play flash videos hosted on the same site as the forums. That works and displays the video fine. However I don't have any play or pause buttons to control the video. I have a program that can create a flv file with a swf menu with the play buttons, etc, but I can't figure out how to embed that menu into the code.

This program gives me the html code and I've messed with it as much as I can, but have reached my limited knowledge of this code. Here's the html code it gives me...

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240" id="player" align="middle">

<param name="movie" value="player.swf?file=test3.flv&size=false&aplay=false&autorew=false&title="/>

<param name="menu" value="false"/>

<param name="quality" value="high"/>

<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>

<embed src="player.swf?file=test3.flv&size=false&aplay=false&autorew=false&title=" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="320" height="240" name="player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/>

</object>

I've tried to replace my test movie (test3.flv) with {param} and all I get is a white box with no video. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
