vBulletin CMS Widgets - [ Widgets ] CMS Player - Hosted Video - JW Player

Hello


I?m going to show you how to do a simple mod that you can use JW Player on your Vbulletin. This will allow you to have your own hosted player.



First you need to download JW Player: Flash Video Player

Flash Video Player for FLV, H.264/MPEG-4, MP3
and YouTube Videos on your website

How to install :

1- Download JW flash player
2- unzip mediaplayer.zip
3- Upload swfobject.js to your js folder
4- Upload Player.swf and yt.swf to your home root
5- Creat a folder to upload you videos ( call it video )
6- Go to admincp/vbulletin CMS / Widgets / Creat new widget
7- Widget type : static HTML / Title : Player
8- Paste :

<p id='preview'>The player will show in this paragraph</p>
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/swfobject.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('player.swf','player','400','300','9');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=video/video.flv');
s1.write('preview');
</script>

and save .

9 - go to Layout manager and then add your Player widget to your page .

Note : you can use this HTML code to every page ( CMS post - Thread Post - Blogs and anywher ) just remember to allow HTML code .

Note : It should work with any version of vbulletin .

you can also use the following code to add some personalisation to your player

PHP Code:

&logo=http://www.yoursite.com/path-to-logo/flv-logo.png 


gives the display like this http://www.tabletennistalk.co.uk/for...p?136-stream-1

What about making it private so only a certain usergroup can view the video? Is this possible to be placed in a threads private section?

I don't have any idea how to make it private as widget , but you can use the HTML code to any template or page .


creat a custom ( like : tube.php ) page and hide the player from guest by using following code :

[HOW TO - vB4] Create a own vBulletin page

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<div class="collapse wgo_block" style="text-align: center;">
<h2><span>Hello guest! </span></h2>
<div class="wgo_subblock" style="text-align: center;">		
<p>Player is disabled for guests!<br />
To be able to view this video, you must either <a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase register}</a> or login. </p>	
</div>	
</div>
<vb:else />

JW _ Player Code here

		</vb:if>

• Creat a new folder ( Name the folder ?js? ) on Public_html
• upload swfobject.js to js folder .

[betts02]

Totally lost with this, Probably something simple to many but a newbie like me,lol

I downloaded the file

Creatd a "js" file and placed in to public_html/

so its public_html/js

The "Upload Player.swf and yt.swf to your home root "

So these are placed at
public_html/ ?
or
Public_html/forums ?

The the "Videos" folder i need to create, where do i install this ?

And what code do i put in this ?

All i am trying to do is have a page with my videos on it, i have the page with all the header/footer/etc i just need the html code to place a video in it

Can someone please help me and others like me who are just starting out with vb ?

cheers

Is there any way you can integrate JW player with AME3?

I need to use AME3 (to detect youtube videos) then shove that youtube video INTO the JW player for threads and etc.

LMK. I'm willing to pay.

I ultimately want people to show off their youtube videos on my site. But I want to also brand the player over the YT video and and use my adtonomy pre roll ad.
