author and title with FlashVars

11 replies [Last post]

hi , why its not possible to set Author and Title names in Embed object without later use of Javascript ? in your source code playersPostProcess(url:String) it looks like you just forgot about those 2 options ! Please let me know how can I add it there , currently after embedded code in play list I have "undefined" entry and I dont like it. :) Thanks

and you have very nice player , thank you for your hard work.

@Sergey,

You can add author, title, and description in your embed code in the flashvars.flashvars="file=http://my.domain.com/path/video.flv&autostart=false&author=Sergy&title=My First Movie&description=This is my first movie"NO JavaScript needed.

for some reason I have it written this way, but nothing shows up on my actual video !

@davidmesiha,

Did you provide for a playlist by putting &playlist=bottom&playlistsize=60 in your flashvars?

yes, in fact I have the playlist working, but can't put more than just the song title tag in it !

thank you

I'll post the code when i get home

thanks

@davidmesiha,

If you use a playlist, then author, title, image, location, description (annotation in the playlist), etc. have to be put in each track of the playlist, NOT the player embed code.

@davidmesiha,

If you use a playlist, then author, title, image, location, description (annotation in the playlist), etc. have to be put in each track of the playlist, NOT the player embed code.

The reason for providing a one track playlist (position & size) for a single file is so that there is some place to display the information.

so are you saying that because I have that info in my xspf file, I should actually remove the flashvar settings for them from the embed code?

Yes, once you start using a playlist, the data comes from the track of the playlist, not the player code, so you should remove author, title, description, image, link, and any other data flashvars from your player code.

I kinda have the same question. I just want a simple interface, where I have a no-frills view of the player (a big black rectangle screen that an image may load from playlist), with the control bar set to "over" BUT I do not want a playlist - I just simply want to show "Title Of Song - Artist" just above the controller. Sounds easy, but I can't seem to figure out how. I am using an xspf playlist. Again, I do NOT want to show a playlist, just the controller & title & author. Is that possible?

Is it possible to append the flashvar file call to a url in an email form.

I call my videos from an rss feed playlist and display them. under the video i show the url to the video.. if i add that to the end of my player url i have a emailable , playable url.. I just dont know how to get that info inside an email form.. any ideas.. here is one of my video pages. http://mqmtelevision.com/awards1.html you can see below the video the videos url http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/LF82xaBC-24249.mp4 but not the players that sits here http://mqmtelevision.com/emailindex.html?file=

how do I get them combined in an email form to send?
