Recommendation for a video plugin?
I need a plugin that allows the user to upload videos via their editor. What would be a good one for the user to have? I’m not looking to embed Youtube vidoes at all. Just mpeg. Quicktime and Flash would be a second priority.

Re: Recommendation for a video plugin?
I had already looked at the plugins area. The closest thing that I could find was the stuff for flash embedding. Tried one out but it’s not working the way it should. So I’m holding off on that for now.
The an7 plugin is for quicktime only so that rules that out.
For the time being, I tried a simple embed like this;
<embed src="/file_download/4"> </embed>but it doesn’t work.
I have the WYSIWYG editor turned off and am just using Textile.

Re: Recommendation for a video plugin?
I still don’t get it. I have this code;
<embed src="/files/video.flv"> </embed>But this how the site looks. The video still won’t play.
EDIT: It just hit me. It won’t play because it’s a flash file, right? I just put in a quicktime video and it works now.

Re: Recommendation for a video plugin?
How would I code this so that the video doesn’t start upon landing on the page? I tried inserting this but it doesn’t work.
<embed src="/files/MVI_0050.AVI" param name="play" value="false"></embed>It seems like the param name values don’t work at all?

Not my field of expertise but aren’t params only for the OBJECT tag? Have you tried autostart="false"?

Re: Recommendation for a video plugin?
Yes, it appears that you are right. An attribute of false or 0 will solve this issue. Curious to know if there are any other atrributes besides height and width that might work here. Hmmmm….

There are some standard ones (not sure how old that document is) but I believe the tag accepts pretty much any attributes dependent on the type of file/plugin used.
I wonder if the plugin-specific parameters that you’d normally put in a <param name="something" value="someval" /> can all be specified as something="someval" in the EMBED tag?
