Posted: Sat, 2009-03-07 20:12 Subfighter

i am trying to make a plugin that would play a video From Dailymotion inside of the JW PLAYER.. And i having an issues that is driving me crazy...

so maybe someone with more knowledge can help me out here.. the plugin is pretty simple and is for a joomla video component. so i will post the revelant part of the php code..

basically i am grabbing the load a VIDEO LINK from the DAILYMOTION that located in my DB

so the $video_detail->video_url = http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4m1b6_sengoku-kazuyuki-fujita-vs-peter-gr_sport

then i am using CURL to load the link above over at http://www.keepvid.com and then it will SCRAPE the source code of the page for the .FLV link which everything working fine. as i scrape and extract the .flv file link from keepvid and you can download the video.. and also i echoed the link to my page no problem..

<?php

and this is the part thats driving me crazy... is run the php it returns on the page..

Get the Adobe Flash Player to see this video.

but if i uncomment the hardcoded variable then it works

// $flv_link = "http://proxy-35.dailymotion.com/16/320x240/flv/7746594.flv?3729391860564098ca7ed38576d57c4e13a7dae";

or if hard code the in javascript

'file': 'http://proxy-35.dailymotion.com/16/320x240/flv/7746594.flv?3729391860564098ca7ed38576d57c4e13a7dae',

instead

'file': '<?php echo $flv_link;?>',

i just dont understand as i can echo the exact same link on the same page that i WEBSCRAPED from the the http://www.keepvid.com but instead of the jwplayer showing the video it shows the Get the Adobe Flash Player to see this video. but if i uncomment the the 2 methods above with same exact link and hard code it in the php it works..

any help appreciated.. as i run out of logical ideas..

This works for me. I would work backwards from this, gradually replacing the hard-coded elements with your variable elments until it breaks, then figure out why it breaks on that element.

Use trim() here:$flv_link = trim($getflvlink);

trim — Strip whitespace (or other characters) from the beginning and end of a string

There was a newline at the end of the string that broke the JavaScript line into two lines.

how can i make this code work so i can play the video in jwplayer site,,not joomla

Posted: Mon, 2009-03-23 19:45 lefTy

@wiol,

The code that I posted above, on Mar. 8, 2009, is standalone. It has nothing to do with Joomla and will run exactly as posted; that's how I tested it.

Posted: Mon, 2009-03-23 21:58 wiol

lefty i tested the code,but its not working.can you confirmed that the code not work??

Posted: Mon, 2009-03-23 22:53 lefTy

@wiol,

NO, I'm very sorry, I can't do that — because it does work.

Posted: Mon, 2009-03-23 22:56 lefTy

Just in case I accidentally made some tiny little change, here's the code again:

<?php

//...get direct FLV link for Dailymotion

<head>

      var params =
      {
        'allowfullscreen':          'true',
        'allowscriptaccess':        'always'
      };

      var attributes =
      {
        'name':                     'JomPlayerId1',
        'id':                       'JomPlayerId1'
      };

swfobject.embedSWF('player-4.4.162.swf', 'JomTubePlayerId1', '640', '500', '9.0.124', false, flashvars, params, attributes);
