Embedding Jeroen's mediaplayer with elk_mediaplayer,I need it modded??
I haven’t found on this forum any mention of elk_mediaplayer plugin so hopefully some may find this useful. It is, in my opinion, a better version of the bas_flvplayer as it uses a different, updated version of Jeroen Wijring’s great FLV MediaPlayer .
I have the plugin working perfectly, twas a very easy setup, but I need to modify it to display a placeholder image before you click to start the film, as it is not the default, and not built into the plugin.
I’m pretty sure that one needs to add the SWFObject variables for the image, and also (the tricky bit) create the code so that the plugin finds my <txp: article_image> and adds it to the dynamically created xml playlist within some <image></image> tags, rather like it does find the film(s) for the playlist.
I don’t know if my suggested way is the best, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
I am next to useless with php and difficult code in general, so I am calling on anyone and everyone to help me out.
A thousand thanks are in order for the person/people that helps me out
Cheers

I know no-one’s interested, but I managed to contact the author of this plugin and he very kindly updated it for me to include the clickable article image at the front of each playlist of films.
You can download version 0.1b elk_mediaplayer plugin at his website, here

That’s alright, I had spent so much time messing around with the bas_flvplayer and thought that there was not another solution, so I’m glad I found it and that I could make you guys aware.

Is there anyone that could post the plugin here (the original site is over)?
I’m looking for a way to embed a video gallery or playlist in a page, not only a single video.
Thansk for any hint…

For an audio player, I used rah_external_output like this to produce a playlist of uploaded mp3’s
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<channel>
<txp:file_download_list category="one-step-closer" limit="20">
<item>
<title><txp:file_download_description /></title>
<media:content url="<txp:site_url />files/<txp:file_download_name />" type="audio/mp3" />
<media:thumbnail url="<txp:site_url />images/51.gif" />
<media:credit><txp:site_name /></media:credit>
<link><txp:site_url /></link>
</item>
</txp:file_download_list>
</channel>
</rss>Then added the JW player to a txp article form directly like this and called it where needed… you just have to make sure the article is the :
<div class="video_holder">
<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('/jw/player.swf','mpl','550','320','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('playlistsize','300');
so.addVariable('bufferlength','20');
so.addVariable("file","<txp:site_url />?rah_external_output=<txp:category1 />");
so.addVariable("skin", "<txp:site_url />jw/simple.swf");
so.addVariable('playlist','bottom');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
</div>It works great.
Obviously you would need to change it for videos…. but I did use a Youtube playlist with videos on that site using the same kind of setup.
<div class="video_holder">
<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('/jw/player.swf','mpl','550','830','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/roundmountaingirls/uploads?v=2');
so.addVariable('playlistsize','500');
so.addVariable('playlist','bottom');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
</div>Hopefully that helps you in some way
