Hi guys. I am developing a new video portal website using joomla and decided that streaming content using the JW media player would be best. Baring this in mind , i searched and found the "allvideos" plugin . Normal flvs work but say when i want to play a veoh ripped flv , with no extension , it doesnt work. Here is what is in the initial code
"flvremote" => array("<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0\" style=\"".$width." ".$height."\" title=\"AllVideos Player\">
<param name=\"movie\" value=\"$mosConfig_live_site/mambots/content/plugin_jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos_player.swf?file=***code***&showdigits=true".$autostart."\" />
<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" />
<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"".$video_transparency."\" />
<param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"".$video_bg."\">
<embed src=\"$mosConfig_live_site/mambots/content/plugin_jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos_player.swf?file=***code***&showdigits=true".$autostart."\" quality=\"high\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"".$video_transparency."\" bgcolor=\"".$video_bg."\" style=\"".$width." ".$height."\"></embed>
</object>", "#{flvremote}(.*?){/flvremote}#s") ,
I searched around the forums and knew that i had to add the type=flv . However , this did not work . i put file=flv here :
file=***code***&file=flv&showdigits=true".
Do you guys know what i am doing wrong?
The code should be:
&<strong>type</strong>=flvYou are telling the player what type of media file it will be playing, because it can't use the non-existant extension ".flv" to automatically determine the type.
