4.6 Skin and Viral menu button

13 replies [Last post]

hi,

I'm using version 4.6 with the dangdang skin. I can't get the Viral-2 menu button to show up in the control bar. Does anyone have any suggestions/hints I can try?

Thanks.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.myurl.com/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="player">This text will be replaced</div>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
      var so = new SWFObject('http://www.myurl.com/player.swf', 'ply', '320', '355', '9', '#ffffff');
          so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');  
          so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
          so.addParam('allownetworking','all');
          so.addParam('wmode', 'opaque');
          so.addVariable('skin','http://www.myurl.com/dangdang.swf');
          so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://www.myurl.com/');
          so.addVariable('file','http://www.myurl.com/playlist.xml');
          so.addVariable('playlist', 'bottom');
          so.addVariable('playlistsize','90');
          so.addVariable('autostart', 'true');
          so.addVariable('plugins','viral-2');
          so.addVariable('viral.functions','embed,link');
          so.write('player');
    </script>

Can you provide a link to where you are running this? Note - it is possible that DanDang may not work with adding buttons, such as menu, to the controlbar, as it was not designed by LongTail officially.

Is there a list of skins that would be compatible?

The skins that are under - http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/skin/ that are designed by - LongTail Video, Chris Sharp, or Jeroen should work with the Viral-2 menu feature.

I've updated the player with the Nacht skin, but the menu bar still doesn't show up.

Sorry, I fogot to mention that Nacht won't work. For example stijl will work.

Awesome. Just tried it out and it's showing up. Thanks for the quick replies. Do you have any hints on how I can make sure the menu button does appear when I create my own skin?

If you use a V5 skin, this will not be an issue - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Skinning-JW-Player-5

So is the viral 2.0 button incompatible with a 4.0 player? Can we add a button instance like blankButton or is the button not backwards compatible?

Jesse, Viral-2 works with V4 an V5 players.

Hmm. The controlbar button itself doesn't show up for me. The plugin works on pause or at the end of the video but the menu button isn't showing up.

Jesse - where are you running this?

Unfortunately, I am running this is a password-protected testing environment. I will try and get a sample online.

Please let me know when it is up, thanks.
