bas_flvplayer
Hi,
I tried and tried and read Tutorials and all but the bas_flvplayer just gives me a black frame and I couldn’t find the error.
What I did:
1. uploaded player.swf (JW Player from Jeroen Wijerings Website)
2. Installed the bas_flvplayer Plugin
3. Placed the swfobject.js in Header (not sure if needed)
4. Set up the right path and name in preferences for the Player
Now I write this in my article:
<txp:bas_flvplayer video="13" />
My website just shows up a transparent frame. In the right size by the way: 320×240 pix.
That’s the code generated in the final Blog entry:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/files/player.swf?file=http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/index.php?s=file_download&id=13&autoStart=false" width="320" height="240">
<param name="movie" value="http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/files/player.swf?file=http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/index.php?s=file_download&id=13&autoStart=false" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>Unfortunately the website is not online to show you. I hope I gave enough key data.
What am I doing wrong. Or are there any setup problems on my site?
Thanks for any kind of hint,
Erik

Not posting in the plugin thread ;).
Did you try accessing the file directly? (http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/files/player.swf?file=http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/index.php?s=file_download&id=13&autoStart=false in your browser)

Re: bas_flvplayer
Oh sorry. Is it possible to move this post to the right forum?
Anyway now I tried to paste this in my browser. I can see the Jw Player but there is an error code: 0: Error #2032
I tried this instead and it worked:
http://10.119.0.15:80/apache2-default/textpattern/files/player.swf?file=http://10.119.0.15/apache2-default/textpattern/files/video.flv&autoStart=false
But now I must figure out to adjust the settings…

Re: bas_flvplayer
Hi Erik, I’m using bas_flvplayer on my site and the tag I’m using in the article is this:
<txp:bas_flvplayer video='/files/name_of_file.flv' width="400" height="300" />In my settings is just
bas_flvplayer_player: flvplayer.swfMaybe it helps.

Re: bas_flvplayer
Hi,
i tried this now, but won’t work.
Do you have Player and Videos in different folders?
I use same folder for that – could that be a problem?
Best,
Erik

Re: bas_flvplayer
No, player and videos are all in the files directory.
Edit: according to the plugin help you need to upload the player through TXP, did you do that?

<param name=“movie” value=“http://example.com/file_download/7?file=/files/video.flv&autoStart=false” />
<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” />
</object></p></div>
</code>

I’m not sure what is causing your problem, but I can tell you exactly what my settings are.
First, I changed the tag as mentioned in my previous post, according to this post, but it also worked in Firefox without the player attribute. This is in my article:
<p class="movie"><txp:bas_flvplayer player='/files/flvplayer.swf' video='/files/skippyklurig.flv' width="400" height="300" /></p>This is my html output:
<p class="movie"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/files/flvplayer.swf?file=/files/skippyklurig.flv&autoStart=false" width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="/files/flvplayer.swf?file=/files/skippyklurig.flv&autoStart=false" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object></p>I uploaded the player (flvplayer.swf) through the Files tab, and I FTP’d the .flv file to the /files directory (maybe that is the difference?)
I also FTP’d a .jpg with the same name as the .flv to the /files directory (but I don’t think that should make a difference).
In Advanced preverences for ‘bas_flv_player_player’ I have flvplayer.swf and for ‘autostart’ no.
You can see it working here.
I hope this helps.

Re: bas_flvplayer
thanks els, this just worked fine for me :)
i guess the player attribute was missing, but i also thought that the plug gets this automatically. anyways, i had my problems with the documentation. thanks again.
