NOOB - Add link to JW Player Images in playlist

9 replies [Last post]

Super Basic NOOB question..JW Player..

I just want to link individual images in playlist to specific pages.. I gather this is done in the XML file.. Can someone provide an example of how to format this.. Do I need to add anything to html page?

Thanks in advance for your time

1) set the displayclick flashvar to link

2) set the linktarget flashvar to _blank to open in a new page

3) add the info element to each track of your playlist (this holds the link URL):<info>http://my.domain.com/page.html</info>
Please review the v4.x player supported flashvars here:

I attempted to add the displayclick=link flashvar, but it did not work.

<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject('http://rawreligion.com/wp-imgrt/imagerotator.swf','rotator','915','330','6');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','false');
  so.addParam('flashvars','file=http://rawreligion.com/wp-imgrt/homepage.xml&autostart=true&displayclick=link&linktarget=_self');
  so.write('rotator');
</script>

Am I entering that flashvar correctly?

Example = rawreligion.com

@ raw religion
I checked out your site and saw that you've gotten this resolved. I need help with getting this done too. Thanks.

Hi,

is there a solution to this problem?

We are using an xspf playlist format with the link iside <info></info> tag as shown here: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats

var s1 = new SWFObject('player.swf','ply','470','470','9','#');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
s1.addParam('playlist','bottom');
s1.addParam('flashvars',"file=http://testServer/playlist_video4.zzz&playlist=bottom&displayclick=link&linktarget=_blank");
s1.write('mediaspace');

But the Link isnt shown in Playlist at all.

With old Player version 3.11 this was working without any problems with following Flashvar:
s1.addVariable('showdownload','true');

Would be really thankful if somebody could help, no idea what we're doin wrong here.

Thank you in advance and greetings
Herbert

The links don't show in the playlist in v4.x players.

There is a link button on the control bar, and if you have configured displayclick=link, then a link icon will be shown in the center of the display area when the player is paused or stopped.

Heya,

thanks for the info. So is this a bug or a feature? :D

Hi,

would also like to know why this feature has been removed.

The link button in the control bar have been a source of difficulty for support. The control bar button isn't discoverable and it doesn't easily relate to the tracks. The previous generation of putting an arrow or link on the track listing was much more successful.

Bump...
