hey walker

~~good~~ great plug in for me and eolas compliant too -kudos !
I’m producing QTVR content and would like to include
bgcolor, moviename and kioskmode and ideally all other parameters for QT content for future uses
so why skim it? sure I could hack it for my own use, but maybe you could include that ?

darn shortest eolas.js I’ve hit too, good job.

Ok, I’ll add those in.
This weekend, I hope?

slabanosa · 2006-09-13 22:54:52

kuwl !
adding them all easy ones eventually for those that know how to use ‘em would be great ;-)
I could live on with my 3 requests though

Late getting back to this thread. I edited my earlier post so it’s clickable.

Re using javascript. Well I’m one of those that doesn’t believe in catering to IE’s idiosyncrasies and MS’s problems more than necessary. Conditional statements provide a decent work around and are transparent to the user. As the cliche goes “<i>there’s more than one way to skin a cat</i>” (apologies to all the ailurophiles).

Okay,

My blood heats up when I hear people talk about not catering to IE’s idiosyncrasies. I use a mac (feh). People say “you’re developing on that?”

If I, as a professional web developer told my clients I don’t believe in catering to IE’s idiosyncrasies, I would be laughed out the room. I had one client I was working with to get their 4Q 2006 release of their hosted web application ready and out the door. They had all the java help on hand they needed, they just knew fuck-all about CSS. So I helped them. Their client base happened to be in an industry which doesn’t tend to upgrade computers within facilities as fast as web designers would hope. Their support profile? IE 5 and up.

I provide a javascript embed-able toggle within my plugin so that people can use it if they see fit or know that their audience has computers which automatically downloaded that Eolas patch. So this argument really is not going anywhere with me. And it shouldn’t have started. Don’t toggle the javascript version on if you don’t want it.

ALA is great. I love many of their articles. But don’t forget the forest for the trees.

To each his own work ethic.

I think you’re confusing ideals with work ethic.

Gah. Okay, this has gone waaaayyy off topic.

I have a question about Kiosk mode: why should I include it? There are all kinds of bookmarklets out there that allow one to easily save a movie to the desktop. I even used to keep an html file on my desktop with a single link in it that I would edit and paste in the direct link to whatever I needed and would download it that way.

I’m going to do BG color. I can see why that would be needed. I will also definitely be doing the moviename option (movieID along with this one is almost a given).

I’m going to try and add in Pan, Tilt, & node as well with this next release.

Walker · 2006-09-17 04:21:37

Yo, here it is
Kick the tires, let me know what I need to take care of.

Now has attributes settings for Pan, Tilt, Node, MovieName, Fov, and BGColor.

P.s. make sure to redownload the JS file if you’re using that to do this stuff.

Thanks ! link to js
about kioskmode it’s a very basic protection against copy theft that’s easier to implement than the atom no save and I set it on by default that way, I’m confident than 90% of viewers won’t go through the hassle of reading the code once they right-click to save. and if they want it they will get it even with the atom on, I should know. Think of it like a no trespassing on an unlocked door, it still works I know my house is secured that way :-)

@NyteOwl and all I hate that js workaround too I’d rather have QT as a trusted source of content in IE7 and have my users click once and for all to enable QT, but I guess that politics. It’s hard enough convincing corporate or news website coders that they should embed differently, from my p.o.v. QT content is at stake here …
