<object id="player" classid="clsid:D2992DB6E-AW3D-11cf-96B8-8893553540000" name="player" width="730" height="410">

height="410"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file={param}&image=flv/preview.jpg&plugins=fbit-1&dock=true"
/></object>

Cheers Ethan, I'll give it a go..

Tried that Ethan and it doesn't seem to be working..

Sorry Ethan, I've another question, so that I can use addsolution on my site, how would I add
this as taken from the embed code provided by your wizard:-

Hi again, Is there an article anywhere that explains the differences I need to make to get anything working with VB?, Im a good learner so hopefully once I understand JW player and its plugins etc i'll be out of your hair :)

Im also stuck with adding a skin, I bought the glow skin, and after spending ages looking for the swf as indicated in the instructions i releaised that glow uses an xml, So now I need to know how I use

so.addVariable('skin', 'path/to/example_skin/example_skin.xml');
with the code above provided by Ethan,

If I were to use the HTML embed code it wouldnt be an issue, but im using this with BB as once setup it will allow me to just paste a url into an article and use the [vid] [/vid] tag to bring up a player..

Pete, please provide a link. Without one, we are not going to be able to figure out why it is not working. Thanks!

Sorry Ethan, I should have thought of providing a link, Here you go, as I've just added the player and still setting it up its not yet used site wide, So i posted a test video here http://experienced-gamers.com/f65/vid-test-70347.html#post73997

Hi Pete,

Your player loads fine here, but the issue is that in your <embed> tag you have two lines of flashvars:

flashvars="file=http://egvids.s3.amazonaws.com/gt/MOHExperienceGunfights-2071485.flv&image=flv/preview.jpg"&plugins=fbit-1&dock=true"
flashvars="file=http://egvids.s3.amazonaws.com/gt/MOHExperienceGunfights-2071485.flv&skin=flv/glow/glow.xml"

You should delete the first one, only use the second one:

flashvars="file=http://egvids.s3.amazonaws.com/gt/MOHExperienceGunfights-2071485.flv&skin=flv/glow/glow.xml"

Best,

Hi Ethan, Thanks for the reply and for looking at this for me, I understand that the issue is with the embed code, In vbulletin I have this :-

to this

On another note, I'm just setting up a new site this one is using wordpress, I've got the WP plugin and things are so much easier to do with that plugin, I'll be buying another licence this week for it.. Is there any chance you guys could do a VB plugin? Im sure it would be very useful, there was a recent post on vbulletin.com from one of the vbulletin team about adding your own player and it got a lot of interest as vb site owners would welcome being able to use your addsolution to their sites as their is nothing like it for VB..

Yet another question, we're also looking at setting up a video share site, Is there a particular software you would suggest, IE ostube, php motion, clipbucket etc..??

Cheers Ethan

Hi,

Np, hope you can get it working with VB by making the changes.

We don't have any plans for a VB plugin.

PHP Motion, PrismoTube, are good.

Best,
