BB Code Enhancements - JW video player

this is the first time i post a mod so... i hope it is good :-)

JW Player? Overview

The JW Player? is the Internet's most popular and flexible media player. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (FLV, H.264, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports various streaming and playlist formats (including RMTP, HTTP, live streaming and more), a wide range of flashvar settings and an extensive JavaScript API.

The XML-based skinning functionality allows you to completely customize its look and its plugin architecture allows you to easily extend the player with features such as sharing, recommendations, searching, analytics and ad serving.

So what you're saying is that the whole thing is not really a stable thing with the files it "claims" to be handling.

i am really confused... i didn't understand... whicj files i should upload? and where dod i put the path of my video?

thank you

[ViciousCode]

i suggest using an object embed coding instead of a script coding, and remove the word wrapping and parse text as links inside the bbcode, for the video to work

here is the embed version

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='470' height='320' id='video1' name='video1'>
<param name='movie' value='http://{forum-url}/player.swf'>
<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent'>
<param name='flashvars' value='file=http://{param}'>
<embed
  id='video2'
  name='video2'
  src='http://{forum-url}/player.swf'
  width='470'
  height='320'
  bgcolor='#000000'
  allowscriptaccess='always'
  allowfullscreen='true'
  flashvars='file=http://{param}'
/></object>

to customize your player options, go to the JW Player Setup Wizard

[dallouleh_s]

thank you
how do i make the stretching filled? it is not stretching
also how do i make it auto start?

[ViciousCode]

go to the JW Player Setup Wizard, you can configure the options there.

here is the options, you add this after the {param} in the same line, in param tag and embed tag

&volume=100&autostart=true&stretching=fill

example

flashvars='file=http://{param}&volume=100&autostart=true&stretching=fill'
