thanks for the rapid erply.

The video works fine if I strip out the table code, so I don’t think it’s the video.

I did enter all this in Wordpress’s code view.

Thanks

@Ian , only .flv file works with the players. You might want to convert your mp4 file into flv file. Why don’t you try Any Video converter ? It’s free and very easy to use. About the extra space or gap, you might want to use the code under HTML mode (non-visual mode).

any idea why the following code does not work with Hana flv plugin (flow player, wordpress 2.21). On page load, the viewer appears within the table and the splash image is displayed. When play is pressed, the screen goes black and the video does not play.

Also, there is a gap between the top of the viewer and the top of the table. Any idea why?

Thanks

HanaDaddy,

Brilliant! Many many thanks! I have no idea how the idiot managed to upload only part of the plug-in but, making sure that directory was full of all the files (and that they were all unzipped) solved it!

Thank you so much for the help … especially as you replied so quickly. I REALLY appreciate it!

Now … I’ll just go and fire the idiot … trouble is, this will be the third time I have been fired this week!

Ian, Somehow the player and video file can not be accessed. Are you sure you the path is correct?
For example , this is the url for the video player, but 404 error message is shown.
http://www.21stcenturyinvesting.com/wp-content/plugins/hana-flv-player/template_maxi_1.6.0/template_maxi/player_flv_maxi.swf
When I tried this , I was able to see the directory listing, but there was only zip file available. Please unzip the file and make the swf file available. That will solve the problem.

Hi HanaDaddy,

Many thanks for the plugin. I do seem to have a problem though … It simply displays the error message “Unalbe to show flash video”. I have tried it with the test video and also with another video (that I host on another domain). Any hints as to what I am doing wrong would be HUGELY appreciated!!

Many thanks

Ian

@Scott,
Wow it has been awhile that I just found out there was upgrades with the Flowplayer! It looks nice. Anyway, I will see what I can do about the playlist

Is there an example of, or could you provide an example of, FlowPlayer playlists (http://flowplayer.org/plugins/javascript/playlist.html) with your plugin? We’ve tried a few variations using more_2/more_3 but to no avail. Thank you.

Jeremy,
Thanks for your insights and I will review it later. But for the Kendra’s problem , I had few email communication with her and found out that it was her Wordpress setting (probably some security plugin) that blocks JS files within the wp-content folder. So the necessary javascript file was not loaded properly and the required function call failed for the Flow Player. Her issue was resolved by copying the javascript file to a different location and adding static link to it from the template file.
