Sorry for the bad expresion in english

What I'm thinking about is that are there any example or tutorial on

making a list of songs in a page, and a player along it

and when I click the name of the song, the browser would call the player and insert the selected song's file location.

Thank you,
Victoe

or,
i'm not sure if it's eaier or harder,

can I just write all the file locations inside the code instead of pointing to a xml file?

'cause I'm using dynamic urls that gnerates a different url each day with php

ex:
http://xxx.com/1.mp3 has an actual url of http://xxx.34.com/fff/asdf/1.mp3 and the value changes

all the "http://xxx.com/1.mp3" will be redirected automaticlly, and it works fine with single file playing.

but the urls in playlist.xml won't be redirected

thank you

Hey Victor, not quite sure what you're asking. Could you please rephrase your question?

Also, check out the JavaScript playlist - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Playlist-Tutorial. It may be what you're looking for

Hi, i'm trying to change the video clicking on a button in my page (i'm not using playlist).
I get a javascript error in IE7 (not tested in IE6 IE8). It works fine in Firefox 3.5, Safari4, Chrome.
The html to embed the video in the page is:

<embed id="player" name="player" src="/player/player.swf" width="400" height="300" />

Javascript i use to change the video is:

function changeVideo(video_url) {
var player = $("#player")[0];
player.sendEvent("LOAD", video_url);
player.sendEvent("PLAY");
}

I use jquery to get the reference to the player object and then send the events to change the video.
I'm using the last release of jwplayer (downloaded today and flashplayer 10)

Can someone help me? Thanks

Antonio -

You should use playerReady to get the ID of the div with the player and then send the events.

See http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashApi:

var player;
function playerReady(obj) {
alert('the videoplayer '+obj['id']+' has been instantiated');
player = document.getElementById(obj['id']);
};
