bbCode That Plays Most Media File

I am just being lazy to add all of the bbcode for

wma, wmv, avi, swf, mp3, wma, mpg, mpa, mpeg, mov. So I just come up with this little product that take care of them all - just one bbcode added

Like the usual: There are known or unknown security risks for playing media file like flash file. It is up to you to take precaution

Here is how can add this one.

Add the product via products pannel

NOTE: For some boards, the bbcode only work at the beginning of the code evaluation. If you encounter the problem where tag shows up, use
product-bbcodeplayall-parsestart.xml instead of the first one.

Upload the media.gif into your images directory

BBCODE:Title:

Media

Tag:

media

Replacement:

[media]{param}[/media]

Example:

[media]Media Link goes here[/media]

Description:

The [media] tag allows you to play certain type of media within your posts.

Use {option}:

NO

Button Image:

images/media.gif

CSS: Additional CSS Definitions

In second box input:

.bbcode_hack
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;  
border-left: 6px solid #ACDB3C; 
border-right: 1px dotted #333333; 
border-top: 1px dotted #333333; 
border-bottom: 1px dotted #333333; 
margin: 8px auto 0px auto; 
padding: 5px; color:#333333;
}

That is it. You are done!!

It works with firefox for me.

[newfun]

Really? Did you try to refresh your browse and it still okay? I can't believe it because I already tried both of them but none work with fire fox.
Good on you.

Works fine. After several refreshes.

Though swf's don't display right. They show a lot of extra code with the video it's playing.

Did a quick test (first plugin) and I love it, but will have to wait for the bugs to get fixed before I can roll this out fully. Windows Media works fine under Firefox. Quicktime fails under Firefox. Both fail under IE. The player windows do appear, they're just unusable. Also, I'm not sure if this is your plugin or just custom BBcodes in general, but when I go to edit a post with this in it, I see all the raw html and not the BBcode stuff.

Still clicking Install. Kudos.

Excellent hack! I've experienced no problems since installing, but from the sounds of it other users may so I'll put the full rollout on hold. But I'm very interested in hearing about bug fixes and updates!

On a side note, is there a way to change the text/background of the header and footer appearing above and below the media player window?

Edit: There's also a space between the header and the video itself, as well as a space separating the video and the footer.

Hm.... Its installed and shows up but no music of other files actually play.
