[1.6+] phpFox Flowplayer FLV Video Player Plug-in - phpFox User-User Support Forum

Raymond Benc · #1 06-12-2008, 12:14 AM

If you are using the Video module you may notice we are using the JS FLV Media Player by default. Its a great player but is basic in functionality so a client suggested to give Flowplayer a try. I wanted to release this with the phpFox package however due to license restrictions we can't until we have setup the proper license to distribute their package with ours. However before all that is completed a free plug-in can be released.

For more information about Flowplayers license please visit: http://flowplayer.org/download.html

Live Demo: http://sandbox.phpfox.com/natio/vide...le_test-video/

:: Steps To Install ::

1) Download the ZIP attachment and Unzip to your computer.

2) Rename the file "plugins/flowplayer/config.php.new" to "plugins/flowplayer/config.php"

3) Upload the "plugins/" folder to your phpFox root directory.

4) Open the file: include/classes/smarty/plugins/function.videoplayer.php

Look for:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Under that add:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Thats it.

The player is using the default configuration. If you would like to modify your FLV player open the file: plugins/flowplayer/player.php
Then visit this page for more options: http://flowplayer.org/player/configuration.html

Tested the player on Firefox 3 (Linux & Windows), Opera 9 (Linux & Windows), IE 6 & 7 and Safari 3 (Windows) and player is running great.

Note: Your users will need Flash Player 9 installed in order to use the full screen option.

None of the demos work at the flow site in IE or FF... Can you provide us a demo of this in action on a test phpfox installation of yours?

Thanks

NOTE: I do have the latest Flash Player installed and just checked the flash site to make sure. :)

haha.. I'm glad you saw the same thing ClubUgly.. I just tried their website on 3 different browsers on 2 different PC's. I thought I was going nuts.

What page was the demo on? I checked their index page and there seems to be a problem with their jQuery code so it does not seem to work. Found another demo here though:
http://community.flowplayer.org/demo/basic+setup

I am just about ready to retire for the night but will setup a phpFox test site tomorrow with the demo as I only have it setup on my localhost at the moment. If anyone gets it installed and would not mind sharing their site as a demo it would be much appreciated. :)

looks great.. DUDE.. does the integration include the embed code when you click on that far right icon? Can you maybe PM me your site so I can check it out? Thanks for your help.

Raymond Benc · #7 06-12-2008, 02:46 AM

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

No problem. Yeah the logo is there when using the Free GPL version. Users are required to pay to get that removed here: http://flowplayer.org/download.html
However we are working on a distribution license so our clients can use the "non logo" version, once we can get those rights I can update the plug-in with that version.

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

No problem. Yes, the embed code is also part of the plug-in. Actually everything that can be done on their site can be done with the plug-in as well since it will simply be configuring the player with any of their settings. As for the demo I have it setup on a localhost server so there isn't any open access from the outside. I will setup a live test site first thing in the morning so I can add some of my other plug-ins to test there as well. Once its online I will let you know.

when not login on the site and viewing the videos, the pop up for the login is behind the video player not in front

Awesome! It worked so perfectly but one problem when I chose the full screen. It did not use FILL WINDOW automatically. It wasnt very good for 16:9 videos. As you know more camcorders out there now with 16:9 format. I uploaded the video as in 16:9 then it ll squeeze into 4:3 format. We need phpfox to encode videos automatically to make it look good.

dude · #10 06-12-2008, 06:34 AM

yes there is a low quality on the videos i got a complain from a member.
how can i reduced the size of the HOT Videos.?
